Ahhh, the signature ending to an email - name, work number, cell number, fax number, email address (always thought this was strange to add considering it's already included in the 'from' field), website, business address, and for some a few other pieces of contact information. Throw in your favorite font, italicize your email, underline your website, maybe insert an emoticon, click save and you've got yourself a signature.
Add your signature and now your email has a little personal touch to it with a little of your style....but it's not fresh anymore, your fonts a little soggy, your contact info took too long to consume and is out of date, and your emoticon is growing mold.
Time to clean the slate. Time for a .tel signature. Assuming you've purchased and set-up your .tel of choice, end that email with your name and your .tel domain. That's it. Simple, direct, FRESH.
Wanna spice it up even more? Create your new .telCARD - give your favorite graphic designer a call or set it up yourself, make it simple, include your .tel and your name if you choose, with a link to your .tel domain, and insert it everytime you send off an email. Jaws will drop, eyes will pop, and mouses will click on the link...and we all know what that does to your SEO!!! (please keep in mind, there are no restrictions on creativity of your .telCARD, so have some fun with it too :)
remember....the .tel is different

Think Twice
How often do you see a vehicle drive by these days with a business name and phone number on the side of it?
The next time you see someone step out of a vehicle with a sign like this ask them if they have heard of the .tel?
Ask them if they know all of their contact information about their business may be stored within a .tel domain? (including their telephone number)
Ask them if they know a .tel doesn't require hosting, so that all they need to do after purchasing a .tel is login and input their contact information and it goes live to the internet?
Ask them if they know that they may change their contact information within their .tel at anytime, and not worry about clients losing outdated information?
Ask them if they know that purchasing (their business name).tel or (somecatchyphrase).tel is far more memorable than their phone number?
Ask them if they know that more and more people have internet on their mobile phone and a .tel will load fast and friendly from any mobile phone with internet?
Ask them if they know what a Vcard is?
Make sure to let them know of all things that the .tel is different...

.tel and turbocharge your marketing plan
Whatever the goals and objectives of your marketing plan may be for your business, association, organization, event, club, band, ... give it a BOOST with a .tel.
Here are a few ideas how:
* Once you've set-up your .tel domain ... USE IT!!! Ending your emails with lots and lots of contact information? Sign-off emails with your name and your .tel domain that contains all this information (are people more likely to remember your name, phone number, fax number, email, website, address, etc or are they more likely to remember your name and your .tel?)
* Once you've set-up your .tel domain ... USE IT!!! Draw some attention to your business, put up a sign in your window that says 'Hey, all our contact info can be found at (insert your .tel domain).tel. (Tired of people calling for your store hours? Include them in your .tel and put up a sign that says 'Store hours found at (your .tel domain).tel.)
* Once you've set-up your .tel domain ... USE IT!!! When those business cards are running low, think twice about reprinting new ones without your .tel domain, in fact think twice about putting all that contact info on them except your .tel. Draw some attention to your card, more space equals more attention to your message, besides all your contact information is found at (your .tel domain).tel anyhow, right?
* Once you've set-up your .tel domain ... USE IT!!! Talking about your event, business, organiztion, or charity has to be part of your marketing plan no matter what your goals and objectives might be. So while your talking mention this great new .tel thing you started. Guess what, when you tell people about it, they will look at you funny and want to know what you are talking about. And then they will go home and look at it, and then they will tell some of their friends and family about it. A strong word of mouth presence should be a part of any great marketing plan.
Incorporating a .tel domain into your marketing plan or strategy will give it a great BOOST. These were only a few ideas, but I am certain you will think up many more on your own. In the meantime, what are you waiting for, purchase your .tel at http://www.telaviso.com/ and include it in your marketing plan starting today.
And remember, the .tel is different

.tel the ice-breaker
Is there anything more fun than handing out your ordinary business card at a social gathering?
The answer is YES. Don't hand out a business card with your business logo, name, company address (street address, city, state, zip code), business phone number, cell phone number, fax number, email address, website address, facebook url, myspace page, twitter feed, flickr account, etc.
Hand out something FRESH. Hand out something that will draw some attention. Hand out a card shows your ahead of the curve. Hand out your new business card with your name, logo, and your new .tel. (Of course be sure to set-up your .tel before you print it on and hand out thousands of business cards.)
There is no need to take up so much space on your card anymore for all that information. Store it all in one place where someone may pull it up from there pc, laptop, or mobile phone and with the click of a button download it all to their address book instantly. And do you think they are going to toss your card in the can? If you were given a card with a .tel on it right now, would you throw it away or investigate if this is something you might use in your own marketing plan?
It goes without saying that after handing out your new .tel card and given the time you've got yourself a fifteen to twenty minute conversation piece. If you don't think people will want to talk about it give it a try and see for yourself.

.tel for clarity
Use the .tel to clear space on your business card.
How many more pieces of contact information will we be adding to our business cards?
Business phone number, cell phone number, fax number, physical address, email address, twitter page, facebook url, myspace page, linkedIn url, RSS feed, flicKr page...
Simplify your business card by only having the one piece of contact information you need for others to know - your .tel. Start to give your card the fresh look others already have by just having your business logo/message, your name and your .tel. Watch the double-take when others grab your card and make sure to let them know all of your contact information may be found at your new .tel. If you're still a little nervous, go ahead and personalize the moment by writing your actual phone number on the back. For an even fresher look put your logo/message on one side with your name and .tel on the back - talk about really focusing on your message.

The .tel is different
What makes the .tel domain so different?
Of the many domain extensions available for purchase, .com, .net, .info, .biz, .org, .co, .me, .us, .mobi....the .tel is not the same. Here are some of the differences:
* .tel DOES NOT require hosting, that's right no need to pay for hosting or point your DNS anywhere
* .tel is mobile ready on it's own, the data you put in to your .tel domain will fit any and all mobile internet devices nicely
* .tel loads f-a-s-t...that's FAST...from your PC, laptop, or mobile internet device
* .tel takes very little set-up time, have your .tel live on the internet in minutes, and for that matter make a few changes and watch those go live soon after as well
* each .tel has a V-Card, with one click all your contact info is downloaded into most address book applications
Now those are just some of the differences. And there are many more great features of the .tel as well.

Introduction
Hello from telAviso:
The .tel is an amazing opportunity for businesses, individuals, organizations, and pretty much any person or entity looking to make all of their contact information accessible from one place on the internet. The ability to change this contact info 24-7 from any internet source, including mobile devices, pc's, or laptops, is incredibly useful. The opportunity to make all or some of this contact information private and the rest public is another great feature of the .tel. All of this is available with the purchase of a .tel domain, but unlike other domain extensions hosting is not required. I know, AMAZING.
telAviso.com is the place where you can purchase your .tel domain. After purchasing your .tel, if you would like assistance with setup, maintenance, or marketing strategies pertaining to your .tel give us a call for pricing packages because we love the .tel and would love to help you maximize it's potential.
Have a great day,
Steve Phillips
