by — Domain Sales 0 Comments

Registrar builds awareness about domain investing through prominent feature.

Large companies can make a big impact. When McDonald’s started offering apple slices in kids meals, it became the largest restaurant buyer of apples in the U.S. overnight. For all of its faults, it also made a huge impact on childhood nutrition.

It also has this video about domain investing, which gives a shoutout to NamePros:
