Small businesses and independent traders from removal companies (http://removals.tel) through to radio voice-over artists (http://overvoice.tel) are benefitting today from .tel domains in the UK and globally.  .tel domains provide small businesses with a host of features, including:
•   A presence on the internet under their control without the need to build or pay for a website
•   Great search engine optimization features built in to help deliver better search results
•   A comprehensive listing in a global directory of .tel domains which can be accessed from any device, quickly and at very low cost
•   The ability to change contact information quickly and easily from handheld devices
•   Integrating ‘live’ .tel information into ‘contact us’ pages for existing websites

“As a small business ourselves we know how important it is to be available for customers especially in this economic climate,” said Justin Hayward, Communications Director at Telnic.  “Small businesses, whilst they can adopt social media tools and use social networking to spread the message, still rely on good old-fashioned conversations with customers as well.  .tel can provide the small business owner with an easy way to manage all of those interaction points and enhance customer service at the same time.”
