Our Thinking
A closer look at DIJ.com, PremiumBrands and my approach to developing online businesses.
At PremiumBrands.com, I consider a domain in the places a business will use it: introductions, its work and conversations with customers. That everyday use is central to my approach as founder when selecting names for someone to build around.
A name that leaves room for change
The room to define DIJ.com is part of its appeal to me. If those letters already mean something to your organization, the connection may be immediate. For someone starting fresh, the work they do can give the name its character.
It is worth considering how comfortable the founder will be using a name after the first launch. An early idea can develop in ways that are hard to predict. A short identity gives the owner room to explain what the business is becoming.
My experience with Newswire.com
In 2007, I acquired i-Newswire.com, then upgraded the business to Newswire.com in 2015. The more direct address brought the name of the business into focus. That change remains a practical reference point for me when considering how a company and its domain fit together.
The everyday use of an address makes the choice concrete. Someone says it, looks it up or sees it beside a company’s work. Those ordinary moments help a founder judge an identity while there is still time to decide what feels right.
More ways to explore a business
A first version can make a discussion more useful because there is something to react to. I believe AI gives more people a way to reach that stage through websites and software prototypes. Thinking about the name alongside those early steps makes the decision part of building.
