A Domain Name: You have taken a leap of faith and started a new business. Your corporate office has graciously given you a website with an address that may look something like this www.directsalescompany.com/new rep name. Others I have noticed are www.partyplancompany.com/12345newrep123 – how can your customers remember that web address? What if they don’t have your catalog or brochure with them but they do want to place an order? You can purchase a domain name (that does not include the name of your party plan company) and have the purchased domain link directly to the website issued by your corporate office.
Here is an example: Scentsy rep – www.divaswithscents.com or www.getascent.com; Paparazzi Accessories rep – www.designeradornment.com do you get my point?
As a home based entrepreneur, your personal branding is essential. The corporate company already has online branding and this is your business. People will buy from you and they need to know “your” website address, not the one which belongs to corporate. Remember, should you decide to leave one company and go to another, you own your domain and you can direct it to a new site. I’ve used Godaddy as my domain choice simply because of their awesome customer service which is available 24/7 and their prices aren’t bad either.
