If you own a business, you might want to have a strong presence on the Internet to reach your target market, engage with your customers, listen to their feedback, and maintain a good relationship with them. You will need to build a website and a blog to create an online place where your potential and existing customers can reach your business anytime and anywhere.
Aside from building a website and a blog for your business, you should not ignore building your pages on social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google Plus. Most businesses and perhaps your competitors are already leveraging social media to attract and retain more customers. Thus, you should really consider adding social media marketing to your overall marketing strategy.
When creating pages on social media, having a username or vanity URL that perfectly fits to your business or company can be crucial to maintaining your brand and identity. But chances are, your username is already taken by other companies or individuals. That’s why you have to register your username as soon as possible to make your social media marketing a breeze.
For example, if your registered company name is ABCQRXYZ, and you already have ABCQRXYZ.com as the domain name of your website, it would be great if you will also have the username or vanity URL “ABCQRXYZ ” on popular social media websites like the following:
– Facebook.com/ABCQRXYZ
– Twitter.com/ABCQRXYZ
– Pinterest.com/ABCQRXYZ
– Google.com/+ABCQRXYZ
– YouTube.com/user/ABCQRXYZ
– and other top social networking sites…
A username or vanity URL will maintain your business unique identity and will give your customers a familiar link or web address for easy access.
So do you want to check now if your business’ username is still available or already taken on various social networking websites?
Visiting each social network and checking them one by one to know if your username is still available can be a tedious task. But don’t worry. There are many tools you can use to make that task a piece of cake.
One of those tools you can use is Namechk.com. It lets you see if your desired username or vanity URL is still available at popular social networking and social bookmarking websites.
So what are you waiting for? Secure your business’ username or vanity URLs now and register them before others take them.
