Dot tel domains within a struggling economy

Over two months since, was my last blog post, here. It seems that little action has happened, but some steady progress had been going on. And soon, I guess, that the newly designed templates will be available.

So, there is dot tel here, and and a business world out there, that would be greatful and happy to learn about .tel.

But .tel had done too little to meet the potential clients and users of their technology, respectively contact info site.

And so, this must be still seen as a chance for the domainers and .tel site developers, who are familiar to, and experienced with .tel, to create sites for the small businesses who are unaware of .tel.

Especially within local markets and fields, and cities who are economically struggling in diverent field of businesses, like, for example Pizzerias and restaurants in some bigger Italian cities.

To take the Pizzeria exampe: enourmous competition, making the business nearly not worth doing / continouing. And the fact, that they more or less work the same way, with the same methods and are quasi uniform, not that interesting and individual anymore. But what you should be, as a Pizzeria in a big city, is to bee unique, and better than most of the competiors.

I think, that dot tel can make a huge difference, by reaching out for a bigger clientel, and giving information, such as opening hours, the menue card, and contact info for ordering a home delivered pizza, or also for making reservations, and so on.

However, it is still quite difficult to make a dot tel site look appealing and appetizing.
But once you have figured out, how to use the control panel, and once you have selected the options and colors that to your liking or corporate identity of your business, and have selected the ways how one can contact you, and have added bits of text info, then things have taken shape, and things start looking interesting. And there you are already in Internet, without having had to consult a webdesigner and webmaster.

Up and till now, businesses with a website, had announced quasi „Hey, we have webste so and so: www.soandso.co.uk.
But which isn't that efficients, and takes a lot of advertising in the print medias, and a lot of time, to spread the website link to existing and potential new customers.

The answer to that dilemma, are the so called „QR-Codes“ (Quick Response Codes), and which are getting some momentum in the United States of America.

I am sure, that if one uses dot tel domains in comination with QR-Code technology, than they will get fast response, respectively fast interaction.

If you look at the situation from a distance you might be able to agree with me, that the technologies are there, but yet to be discovered and applied for businesses, and to give some struggling business a better chance, against their competiors.

As soon as you do business in a different way, and you get to be a bit different, than your competiors are, than you get more attention form the masses of consumers.
