easier to spread the word about our projects
which should lead to more visitors and therefore
more conversions. With the new domain we can
now have a more segmented marketing
approach.”

“It’s the small things you see. Firstly,
all terms relating to our business can
help increase our search engine
success. Secondly, by having a business
sector specific ending, we can simply
communicate JYRO.BIKE. It looks clean,
sounds great and is easy to remember!
Our customers will be able to find us
quicker online.”

Case Study: Ben Bull Photography
“I first heard about the new TLDs from a 1&1 TV Ad and
remember thinking ‘this sound too good to be true’, but as soon
as .photography came up I knew I had to jump to it or I would
never get it! As far as domains go I think this is one of the last
opportunities for me to be relevant to my business through my
online brand identity.”
