Opinions? Should I refer to myself in the first person or company name?

Hi,

I just need your input on this. I have my site and I am righting the copy for the services I will be offering.. So I have my company name : Blinx Media.

I don't have any employees as I am just starting out, its just me. So when I say write the copy for offering seo or email marketing, is it better to say,

"Blinxmedia can increase your profits by using the power yada yada yada"

or,

"(My name) can increase your profits by using the power yada yada yada

OR

I can increase your profits by using the power yada yada yada

What do you guys reckon?

    Go with the first part. You'll expand eventually and I doubt you can do it all, so you'll either need employees, free lancers or outsources to help you. If so, then they are part of Blynxmedia. When I write, and although I'm a sole-proprietorship, I often refer to "we", not me or I.

      Thanks! That's what I was thinking, although I felt a little conflicted and wanted a second opinion. Referring to the company does sound more professional.

    Although you are a company of just 1 (for now), never give that impression to your clients. Instead of having to use your company name all the time just use 'we'. For example, "We can increase your profits by using the power yada yada yada".

    To Your Success,
