With approximately 8% of all retail sales happening online, e-commerce is a multibillion dollar / year global industry that allows both large companies and small individuals to buy and sell goods to an international and growing market.
Whether it’s for electronics, fashion or collectibles, the new .SHOP domain extension will help customers find your e-commerce site faster than ever before. Even if you don’t sell directly online, a .SHOP domain extension will provide the best space to create an optimized presence for sharing your business information like contact details and directions.
By attaching a .SHOP webpage to their current website, businesses like restaurants, museums, travel agencies or event hubs can create an online storefront directly linked to their main website, without needing to change the direction of their site.
Shopping embraces almost all types of activities, from books, digital media, ringtones, software, pet supplies, intellectual property, real estate listings, art, you name it. Catering to a basically unlimited market, the .SHOP extension will be one of the most wanted new gTLDs.
Even the biggest physical stores are dealing with fierce competition from show rooms where people buy online after shopping in person, often buying online with their phones while still in the physical store.
