JuliannaWebnames.ca has collaborated with Telnic, the organization behind the award-winning .TEL name, to create the first-ever domain retail card so that .TEL names can be sold by brick and mortar retailers across North America.
The new retail card lets customers purchase .TEL names, which act as a ‘live’ digital business card, from stores and shops. The cards can then be activated online at a later date using unique codes printed on the back of the card, making them ideal retails.
The .TEL retail card is a first for the domain industry. A perfect add-on to a mobile phone or accessory purchase, the first batch of cards can be purchased from CanTalk Wireless stores now.
Nick Ellery, General Manager at CanTalk Wireless Solutions, said: “These retail cards make it easier than ever to promote .tel. The card and packaging are very appealing and do a great job at expressing the .TEL concept and value to shoppers. Our sales people find it easier to explain and promote .TEL by having the cards available in-store and the registration system provided to retail card users appears to be very easy to follow.”
As Steve Smith, Webnames.ca’s President and CEO, explains: “.TEL retail cards make sense because .TEL is so different. They offer small businesses and professionals a very affordable and easy to maintain a contact me web presence that is both optimized for search engines and mobile phones”.
“The .TEL retail card is not only a natural fit for wireless and technology retailers,” said Smith, “it also makes sense for retail outlets that offer products to small businesses or business people.”
A .TEL name directs people to targeted information such as phone numbers, email addresses, websites, social media profiles and more. It keeps people and businesses connected when their contact details change and it simplifies referrals by allowing its owner to share only one point of contact, for example “you can reach me at SteveSmith.tel”.
The program is ramping up with more retailers, including locations of the national coffee franchise Blenz Coffee.
