.tel Story of Toby Barazzuol from Eclipse Awards

EclipseAwards.tel - My name is Toby Barazzuol and I am the founder and president of Eclipse Awards International Inc. We make personalized recognition awards to help companies celebrate excellence and make people happy! I first heard about .tel when Cybele Negris visited our office to pick up some staff recognition awards for her company. At first I didn't see the value, however as I thought about it, it became apparent.

Being easily found on the internet is a priority for our company.We provide excellent service, great products and a memorable customer experience, however if no one can discover you on the web, you've lost an important part of the battle. We use whatever tools are available to us to expand our reach: social media, our website www.eclipseawards.com, our toll free number, and of course our .tel site. For us, transparency is the key and we want to be accessible to clients in ways that suit their needs.

Our experience with eclipseawards.tel has been great so far. Shortly after registering our domain, it began appearing in search engine results, so that's one more path for potential clients to find us.

It's also added value in terms of our search engine optimization with Google by creating more relevant keywords and inbound links to www.eclipseawards.com. Furthermore, it summarizes all the ways to access our website and contact our company in one simple location.We are reaching more potential clients through Twitter (@eclipseawards) and company profiles on Yelp! LinkedIn and Facebook.Our eclipseawards.tel website is simply one more tool that allows us to strengthen our position with search engines like Google and Bing.
 

These days, virtually anyone with an email address or web presence could benefit from a .tel. Once people know your .tel address, they can simply check in to find your most current contact information. In this highly mobile world, staying up to date with your contacts can be challenging, even for the most technologically inclined. A .tel is simply a cost effective way to organize and communicate your contact details in one single location.

Forecasting anything on the web is challenging, however as more people realize the value of .tel, I can see it becoming widely used by companies and business professionals. If that catches on, consumers will follow next. In a transient, quickly changing world, .tel offers an anchor point where people can find up to date information.
