Domains: Essential to Brand-based Marketing

Building a recognized and trusted brand is more important than ever. Your domain name is more than a web address; it can be a strategic and integral part of your brand and brand marketing. Find out from domain marketing experts what you’re communicating through your domain and how to leverage the right domain(s) to amplify your brand’s messaging. This will be an essential session for marketers, brand managers, and anyone who wants to understand the power of domains in marketing. 

It’s all virtual. I hope you can come!

The Economist Intelligence Unit published a nice infographic demonstrating the Availability, Affordability, Relevance and Readiness of 100 countries around the world.

The overall Index score based on the scores of the Availability, Affordability, Relevance and Readiness categories.

Availability

This category examines the quality and breadth of available infrastructure required for access and levels of Internet usage.

Affordability

This category examines the cost of access relative to income and the level of competition in the Internet marketplace.

Relevance

This category examines the existence and extent of local language content and relevant content.

Readiness

This category examines the capacity to access the Internet, including skills, cultural acceptance, and supporting policy.

I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Decade!

Posted on December 31, 2019 by Joe Alagna

The new year, and especially a new decade, has me thinking about time and its passing. 

Living on the west coast of the United States is a funny thing.  You always feel late.  If you call someone in the Midwest or on the East Coast, they’re two or three hours ahead of you. It’s hard to tell them anything new.  They’ve already seen the news of the day and read their email.  They’re thinking about lunch by the time you get to your desk.  If you call someone in Europe or Africa, they’re at least seven hours ahead of you; and least of all, if you call someone in Australia or Asia, they’re living in tomorrow. 

But many years ago, I dreamed of living in California, so living here is part of a dream made true.  I thank God to be here.  

What are your dreams? 

Today we enter a new decade and no matter where you live, I wish you a decade full of dreams made true, and not just made true, but made true in time for you to enjoy them. 

Happy New Year!  Happy Decade!

Joe

Wishing You a Great Decade!
