Details

Parador Interactive Inc seeks to understand the financial impact on global brands (specifically manufacturing & hospitality) valued at $300M or more that do not own their corresponding .com domain names. The project involves conducting a comprehensive market analysis to identify the potential lost opportunity costs associated with this gap. Learners will explore how the absence of a .com domain can affect brand visibility, customer trust, email security and overall market presence. The goal is to provide insights into the economic implications for these brands and suggest strategies to connect with and educate these global companies and their shareholders on the true financial losses and damage to their global brand. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of market analysis, brand management, and digital marketing strategies to a real-world scenario in support of determining valuation of .com domain names.



- Analyze the current and market landscape for global brands without .com domains.


- Assess the potential financial impact and lost opportunities for current global brands with sales over $300,000,000USD


- Explore consumer behavior and brand perception related to .com domain ownership vs. localized country domains such as .de (Germany) and .es (Spain)


- explore actionable strategies, associated costs and length of time needed for global brands to enhance their digital presence vs acquisition cost of .com domain

Deliverables

The project will culminate in a detailed report and presentation that outlines the findings of the market analysis. Learners will provide a comprehensive assessment of the lost opportunity costs for brands without .com domains and propose strategic recommendations. The deliverables will include:



- A written report summarizing the market analysis and financial impact.


- A presentation highlighting key findings and strategic recommendations.


- Data visualizations to support the analysis and conclusions.


- A list of potential strategies for brands to improve their digital presence and mitigate losses.
