How to save time and money for seller and potential client, by communicating via a Dot Tel name

About Dot Tel has a new and interesting article, a week ago, which I just discovered, at:

http://www.aboutdottel.com/drive-by-dot-telling/

Quote:
"Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

When you drive by a For Lease or For Rent sign on a commercial property you may be lucky to make a note of the realtor or the phone number. If you do get one of those, you’re going to contact the realtor and ask the follwoing things: what’s the square footage and what’s price per square foot.

So now you’ve found out it’s 8000 square feet and it’s $60 a square foot. Too big and way too expensive! So you’ve wasted your time and you’ve wasted the realtor’s time.

If, on the other hand, the only thing on the sign was the dot tel name, the realtor would have a prequalified lead when phone rang. “How” you ask?

If you add the price, the square footage and links to the pictures in to the .tel, the customer just has to type the .tel name into their smart phone and in an instant all the key information they need to know is available.

When they “click to call” on the realtor’s phone number that is also available in the .tel, the realtor is getting an interested party on the end of the line not just an information inquiry.

So commercial realtors everywhere – heed my call: Put dot tel on your For Lease and For Rent signs – you’ll thank me for it." End of quote.


How I understand the idea:

1.)
A advert (offline advert) shows well visible, a Dot Tel name, for contacting.

2.)
The potential client looks up the .tel address from his computer browser, respectively, in his smart phone.

3.)
The relevant Dot Tel domain already shows the most relevant information, such as size/volume/square meters, and the price for leasing/renting or for buying.
And offers links, to look at more pictures/photographs of the item/object.

4.)
So, then the client is able to decide, if he wants to contact the seller / company that set up the advert/offer. And he can contact him directly by selecting the sellers phone number, clicking, to make a call.

Conclusion:
If you have things, cars, boats, houses for rent or for sale, etc., you should publish the related Dot Tel name, for potential clients to finding more information about the advert.

Which means also, that you save money on printed adverts, because you don't need to publish a lot of information, nor pictures, which are both costly.

You set up this specific Dot Tel domain, just the one item (or a few more). And you could still use that Dot Tel domain for other future sale offers, if the Dot Tel name is a general one.
Which means, that you don't have to register a new Dot Tel domain, every time.

Again:

1.) You set up a Dot Tel domain, or you have a existing Dot Tel domain, where you place a advert, or put a lot of information that is related to a offline-advert, which is showing that Dot Tel domain name.

2.)
You set up a offline-advert, where you show well visible a related Dot Tel domain name, for getting more information, and for contacting the seller.

3.)
This option allows the potential client to save money, by not having to make a phone call, at first, or never.

Further, more, if he likes the information he sees on his smart phone, he can continue reading it at home, on his laptop or PC, which is cheaper, again, than using the mobile device.
Nevertheless, looking up a Dot Tel domain, is cheaper, than looking up a heavy weight, and heavy loaded website.

Final conclusion:
You, as well as your potential client saves time and money, and can perhaps, make a mutual agreement on a sales contract / deal (seller and buyer):

You save time, on the phone, as well as advert costs.

The potential client saves his time and money, for saving a phone call, and for being able to select and decide easier, because he can find all relevant information online.
(He does not have to make a phone call, and note the info on a note paper.)

This will keep the minds of .Tel users occupied and distracted, rather than that they will be able to be worried about the real worries and problems about .Tel.

What happens if the registry can't fullfill the promised time stipulated for releasing the template selection: Don't worrie, be happy and play the ".tel treasure hunt". That's what you usually do with small children, to let them forget about the existing problems and worries, and let them be in a "other world" of play and fantasy.

Mactel,

Thank you for your comment. Please remember that this is a brand awareness and educational campaign for .tel domains and TelPages targeted at internet users in general, not exclusively at .tel owners. This is why we've shared banners and PR so that active .tel owners can help spread the word and increase the value and popularity of .tel domains.
If the competition doesn't sound appealing to you, you can continue focusing on securing your portfolio, developing your domains and sales efforts.

Yes, but:
"help spread the word and increase the value and popularity of .tel domains" will make more sense, if there is a decent telproxy to show ("off" with).

At this stage, and mainly because telproxy is not very appealing to look at, many potential companies are not very interested, or not (yet) interested in .Tel.

So, this promo effort, comes too early, wheras the efforts to make .Tel look nicer, are very late.

It is not so smart to try to promote a ugly duckling, when it would be easyer to promote a white swan.

Put your efforts and energy into bringing out the .Tel template selection. "Treasure hunt" is another thing, done at the wrong time. Same as the new telproxy came out too late, just before renewal time, putting loads of people off, if only left "gray in gray", and not used to add a nice logo, and a tasteful colour scheme. The new .Tel look was quasi a anti-promotion, as the look needs a lot more refinement options.

Why .tel?

Domainvestors.tv - Why .tel? from Domainvestor on Vimeo.


In this video I discuss the reasons why I think .tel domains could be a good investment. While .tel may never be successful in the Domaining world, I have reason to believe this will be a success in the business world.

.tel is the first time I have seen Domainers close their mind to a new idea so quickly. I think the reason for this is simple – .tel is not a TLD for Domainers. We are oftentimes afraid of what we do not know, or what we do not understand. Look at Alexander Graham Bell – when he first invented the telephone many people were terrified of the new device. It is easy to be afraid of what we do not understand, but closing your mind might only cause you miss-out on an incredible opportunity.

I share some great quotes from a recent post by Kevin Jackson of ebusinessdomains.com.

Along with my own thoughts on .tel I have included an on-screen demo of how to configure your .tel domain as well as an example of a strong application for .tel – cancel.tel.
