Our Session: Rethinking Domain Name Search
On Wednesday, July 25th, from 3:30 – 4:15 p.m. in room 109, Product Manager for Domains Adam Eisner will be making his presentation, Rethinking Domain Name Search.
Here’s the description of his presentation:
With the rise of the domain name aftermarket, many expired names never return to the public for repurchase. This, combined with the fact most web hosting companies don’t provide an effective domain name search feature on their website, results in many lost sales opportunities for domain names, web hosting, email and more.
This session will show web hosts how to “re-think” their website’s domain name search strategy in response to market developments like better name suggestion technology, fewer available names, and the rise of the domain name aftermarket. The strategies outlined and demonstrated will help web hosts obtain tangible improvements in their domain name and web hosting sales.
Topics covered will include:
- How to improve sales by improving your existing domain name search process (using tangible examples)
- Maximizing the number of relevant results provided using name suggestion technology
- Using domain name aftermarket to ensure customers receive the most relevant domain name availability results possible
Come on out and say hello!
