.tel Story of CK Golf Solutions

We’re Jeff & Tara Ciecko and we are the co-owners of CK Golf Solutions Ltd., a golf management and solutions company. We are based in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Our objective is to help golf course owners make more money through business planning, marketing, operational reviews and social media to name a few things we do. We have been able to position ourselves as the leaders in Western Canada public golf course operations due in large part to our connectivity with owners, operators, associations and key staff members at golf courses in Canada.

Our existing and potential clients all have different communication styles and we respond based on their preferred style whether it is via telephone, email, Twitter, Facebook, our blog or any other medium they choose. We heard about .tel on Twitter from a few respected people we follow and liked the ease the information to connect with them was made available. We wanted the connectivity.

After ordering and replacing business cards a couple of times (at a cost equal to five years of .tel registration) we finally converted to a card that only lists our .tel address, ckgolfsolutions.tel. This enables new and existing contacts to access are most current information (whether it be phone numbers, blog sites, email addresses etc.).

We believe anyone can and should benefit from .tel. Our biggest frustration prior to registering a .tel domain was adding social media platforms and continually feeling our business cards were outdated.

We have been using .tel for about three months, and are very happy with the ease we are able to update our information in a quick and timely manner.

Simply .tel is our on-line (and off line) business card available 24/7. We think .tel has a great future and will replace the phone book (if it already hasn’t) along with taking over for the need to have Apps on your phone to access business information. You will simply type in a business’s name.tel and be directed to their contact information with a map of their location.

Interestingly we have seen .tel appearing in our Google Analytics stream as a new way customers and potential customers are finding us on-line. .tel ensures new and potential clients are seeing only our current contact and web information. We don’t really use any other marketing strategies besides .tel and our social media platforms. At this time these are both working well for us!

Generally, I think everyone will benefit from owning a .tel in the future. If they have information in different places on the internet, on different websites, different social media pages, then they will benefit from a .tel and store all that information in one place. I think it will also be good for businesses that need customers to find their information easy and fast. With .tel you can tell people where to find a lot of information about you or your company in a few words and they can view this information really fast, wherever they are.

I like to go to the movies. One day maybe I will see .tel on a movie poster, type the movie .tel into my phone, and it will tell me where and what times the movie will be shown, wherever I am in the world, this would be great. I think .tel will be big in the future, maybe bigger than people realise right now.
