Indian brands using Generic Slogan and Domains

 A recent trend in Indian marketing/advertising shows few companies using Phrases (social media) and .in/.co.in domains. Many Indian corporations own their brand names in .in/.co.in, however we think this is a new strategy where they are beginning to use multiple domain names in their category. Obviously with .com we have seen this over the years, owning a generic category killer domain has been a strategy. 

Here are some of them:

Bajaj - a large corporate name in India with many brands 

Allabouthair.in

Raymond - a household brand in clothing

Tailoryourstyle.co.in

No alt text provided for this image

AllOut - another household brand 

FightDengueforyourfamily.in

No alt text provided for this image

 Oral-B (P&G Company) 

ElectricToothBrush.co.in

If this trend continues, we can expect many companies in India fighting over their #slogans or underlying category killer keywords. Thanks to the domainers in India who contributed this information. We think this is only the beginning and a much welcome sign.

VanInsurance.co.uk sold for higher than .com

  Today Godaddy released their aftermarket sales for June, it showed vaninsurance.co.uk sold for $106,769 and vaninsurance.com for $100,000 . This is probably the first time have noticed a . co.uk sell for higher than .com . This could have reasons such as . co.uk had a less motivated seller and he/she was in a better situation to assess the Van Insurance market . Also here in the US, we don't hear much of Van Insurance but its possibly a bigger deal in the UK. So once again, pricing and valuation of such cctlds (country code extensions) like . co.uk , .in / .co.in or .de and others are going to on a case by case basis. Typical cctlds valuation can range from 5%-25% of .com, but this again a very rough estimate as this sale shows. #domains #domainnames #india #. co.uk #websites #business #branding #marketing #ecommerce #atmanirbarta #inc42 #startup #.in #.co.in

.IN and .CO.IN doing quite well among Startups in 2021

 https://jamesnames.com/2021/06/data-driven-what-domains-did-startups-use-in-q1-of-2021/ The first quarter of 2021, running from January 1 to March 31, saw 1,154 new companies, solo ventures, or projects added to the Crunchbase database. This isn’t a particularly interesting stat on its own — every quarter, thousands of companies spring into life. What might be interesting, though, is the domain names that those companies founded in Q1 of 2021 are using. Fortunately, Crunchbase shares this data, so I’ve compiled a list of domains from the dataset that we can take a look at. Of the 1,154 companies, 106 either didn’t have a domain name listed, or the domain was erroneous, so couldn’t be counted. That leaves us with 1,048 domains to analyze.   TLDs Out of those 1,048 domains, 112 different domain extensions were used. This does not count ccTLD variations such as .CO.UK and .UK or .CO.IN and .IN, for example, these are merged into one TLD for the purpose of this article. Of those ...

Why .IN and .CO.IN makes perfect Domain Strategy for Business

  India Domain Names News (.IN / . CO.IN ) : Two companies this week were busy, ( Simon. co.in  bought  Simon.in ) and ( Myfitness.co.in  bought  Myfitness.in  ) . India introduced .co.in extension in 2003 when many businesses registered them and in 2005 they rolled out the .in extension to the public. What that caused is many businesses are operating on .co.in while others on .in . Smart and savvy business are figuring out that they need to own both versions .in and .co.in , both get traffic in India and there could be brand confusion in the marketplace if two different businesses own the two versions. Several companies have continued to use .co.in since they started, this could be primarily because it reflects they are a "Company of India" and that might be important to them. .IN users believe that shorter is better and it looks better in advertising etc. Ultimately its about market perception and usage trends that will dictate the future. But for most bu...
