.brand: acquisition costs versus return on investment. A worthwhile endeavour? |
| Dot-brand TLDs may be among the Internet domains most coveted by companies since their launch, but that doesn’t make them any less costly. 185,000 dollars, more specifically. The sum businesses had to pay during the ICANN opening round in 2012 to submit their application. A 6-figure initial entry cost, plus almost 50,000 dollars in annual management fees after the launch of the domain, not to mention the expenses linked to in-house preparation and roll-out costs. |
