Kevin – you hit the nail on the head! – the vast majority of SMBs and Professionals simply need an easy, quick and cheap way to present their services in a mobile-friendly way. New British based start-up http://www.telnames.com has laser like focus on this huge market opportunity, utilising .tel’s unique domain technology. For one small annual fee of just £14.95 ($24), in around 15 minutes businesses can choose their own top level domain, populate their single page with contact info. and rich profile content including map, photos, video link and coupon – and that’s it, they’ve created a very smart mobile optimised single page web presence. Everything is included – .tel name, smart page template, hosting – no hidden extras, no ads, and excellent usability for both mobile user and merchant self-set up. Everything is click to call, click to email etc, and all social media links can be added e.g. like this London fashion jeweller, http://youniquejewellery.tel/
Businesses own and control their named place online which gets indexed in search and which they can promote everywhere – they are not a subordinate of somebody’s else’s site e.g. a sub-domain. Content updates take just a minute to complete. Telnames’ rapidly growing customer base does include Pizzerias and Plumbers http://baffitos.tel/, as well as Life Coaches and Hypnotherapists http://hypnotherapy4life.tel/ – a wide spectrum of colourful Service Providers and Professionals as can be seen on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/telnames/our-customers-tel-names/
Telnames’ aims to quickly build on its positive reaction from the UK SMB market with global expansion either directly or via strategic partners especilally those focused on accelerating SMB mobilisation.
