Should I use a different domain name for my Print adverts?

    For one of the sites I look after the domain name is simply
    the SERVICE TYPE + LOCATION

    lets say, for example,

    its "locksmithmanhatten.com"

    whereas the company name is branded as, (lets call it) AccuKey

    On my print advertising, should I use locksmithmanhattan.com or accukey.com


    I fear that if i use the generic, people who don't use the search bar will be led to my competitors sites? plus a branded name like Accukey sounds more professional ?opinions on this?

    I think on print media you should use the short domain name with your brand name.

    thanks for that ehuq...

    The "brand name domain" is just a blank page with a logo on it, but there is such thing as a redirect?

    Would a 301 redirect work here?
