Minority-Owned Businesses Gain an Edge with TrueName® Descriptive Domains

BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Successful minority-owned businesses know a brand is more than a logo, and a strong digital presence is key to business growth. TrueName by Donuts Inc., a global leader in descriptive domains, is proud to announce that its descriptive top-level domains are helping minority-owned businesses and organizations that support diverse communities elevate their brands and quickly communicate the products and services they offer to their markets.

Descriptive domains are more than an alternative to the conventional .com extension. These domains allow a business to express its authentic digital identity.  They are industry-specific, easy-to-remember extensions, such as .chat, .coffee, and .life, that allow businesses to use "both sides of the dot" to express core expertise and capture more website traffic as the anchor of effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategies.      

For example, Wrap Life, which offers authentic African headwraps, chose thewrap.life as its domain. Nnenna Stella, founder, says, "I wanted to have life in the name because it would need to be sold as a lifestyle brand.  After changing to .life, we doubled sales of the previous ten months in two months.  Our domain is different, our product is different. All those things tell a really unique story that our customers love."

Shannon Morton, CEO of Black Women Lead, which amplifies black women's voices and partners with nonprofits to meet a range of needs, says their descriptive domain blackwomenlead.black has "supported marketing efforts and branding and has improved search engine optimization (SEO)."

Additionally, AMP Community, a tech company that provides advisory services and accelerator programming for diverse entrepreneurs, uses descriptive domains to help minority business owners find their resources, such as the newly launched amp.directory of minority founders and VCs.

"We applaud these businesses for their ingenuity and dedication to building a strong digital footprint and an authentic digital identity," said Mina Neuberg, CMO, TrueName. "We're looking forward to watching and celebrating with them as they achieve continued success."
