Choose an extension to define your brand. Pick a .PHOTOGRAPHY, a .APP or a .COOKING or an extension from the 700+ available TLDs. Established brands like Google &amp; JP Morgan have invested in new gTLDs. Indian e-commerce company, Infibeam launched on a new gTLD, .OOO late last year.

An important part of going digital for any brand is to have a strong social media presence. Believe it or not, people will look for you on Facebook &amp; Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Build your fan base on Facebook, Twitter &amp; LinkedIn so you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Establish&nbsp;relationships with your&nbsp;audience<\/li>\n<li>Build trust &amp; confidence<\/li>\n<li>Create awareness for your brand<\/li>\n<li>Market&nbsp;your products &amp; offers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Social Media is a fantastic platform if it&#8217;s used well. Here are some best practices to follow:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALWAYS respond:<\/strong> Be it comments, inbox messages or wall posts with your brand tagged, make sure you always respond to your buyers&nbsp;or potential leads within a short time frame. It&#8217;s a great way to get some feedback on your products\/services, build&nbsp;relationships &amp; show that you&#8217;re a brand with a human side. Plus, customers are always thrilled when a brand responds to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Include Multimedia:<\/strong> Images &amp; videos keep your content interesting, gets you&nbsp;more eyeballs and correspondingly increases your traction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a personality:<\/strong> Hold contests &amp; quizzes. Be witty &amp; add a bit of humour. Show your customers that you&#8217;re a brand with a personality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus less on selling &amp; more on informing:<\/strong> Although social media is great platform to get your product out, this should not be your primary reason for being online. Your customers might &#8216;Unfollow&#8217; or &#8216;Unlike&#8217; you if you spam them with too many updates about your product on your wall. Instead, opt for paid ads on these channels to market yourself. Be tactful in the way you sell&nbsp;yourself on Social Media.<\/p>\n<p>ResellerClub supports a number of small and large designers, developers and web service providers &amp; helps get businesses online.
