I just think .tel is a waste of money like most of the other new extensions. You shouldn't have to keep up with the latest extensions. The total yearly renewal fees for these can definitely be spent more wisely in other places.
Of course companies should try and maximize the return on their advertising/promotion dollars.
I think businesses should take great care with these dollars, however.
I mean, it may seem like a great idea, but why .tel?
What about if .contact, .email, .directions, .maps, .phone, .cell, .fax, .website all come along? Do you really think businesses should register each of these just to "duplicate" efforts?
EXAMPLE: Google.tel
Do you really need .tel to redirect you to .com? |
Very good points. By the same token, do you really need to have MySpace
and Facebook accounts. Of course not - but it's all proportional to how much time you devote to branding your company, and on what your ROI is on that effort. The more you promote your business across multiple platforms, the greater the odds are of a greater return on your investment - in dollars and time. It's all about selecting what venues suit
your business. Do I want my business to pop up on Google Maps - absolutely. If .phone extensions became available, YES, I think I'd be there.
