Mobile marketing done easy !

Using Telnames was a fast, easy way to increase mobile marketing of our company. The ability to include Pictures, a video, presentation and many other features made our Telnames domain a fast method of viewing our Company and Products on the latest Mobile Technology. Great value for money.

Totally Awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

When explained to me, this offer sounded too good to be true! They were offering me a service at an initial £9.99 for the year, that my website host had quoted me £35 a month!
Anyway, I went with it and it blew me away- quick, easy, professional looking AND so cheap. I wish I'd known sooner.
Absolutely incredible. Customer service is red hot too.

Simple, Professional and Cost Effective

If you're looking to get a mobile website, this is a fantastic solution, its as professional looking as it gets, you dont need to hire designers, you can edit the info very easily and the price is superb!

Quick, easy, good value

I heard about telnames from one of our suppliers, had a look at the website, thought 'that sounds like a good deal' and within a few hours our .tel website was up and running. It looks great! We're using it as a mobile-friendly introduction to our guest house. It's got all the basics that people need to know. However, I can see some small businesses not needing a conventional website at all but just using a .tel.

Problems? What problems?

Was looking for a telname to link to my website and didn't know where to start. A couple of phone calls and e-mails later it's up and running! But with a slight glitch. That was sorted over the weekend thanks to some great out-of-hours commitment from the support team!
Now I've got a mobile website - lavvly jabbly!!

Confused!

When signing up to this I asumed there would be some sort of outthere advertisements, but noone seems to have heard of telnames, so who will see my business on it ..Or am I misssing the point ?

John, We’re sorry that you had misunderstood how your .tel name works. Hopefully following our call it’s a bit clearer that your .tel name is a web page rather than a directory listing or advertisement. Your .tel name, http://selectivegold.tel has provided you with an instant mobile web presence to complement your existing desktop site. We have details in the FAQ section of our website (http://www.telnames.com/faq/) on how you can combine both so that any visitors to your .com page are automatically forwarded to your mobile friendly .tel name.

All of us here at Telnames want you to have the most positive experience and we are keen to help you to get the most out of the service, so please get in touch if you have any further questions.

A NO BRAINER- for any forward thinking business

I have 4 .tel sites . one for each of my Coffee Shops and a generic one.
It was easy to set up, very cheap to own, great for getting a mobile ready website up and running in minutes.
I can update it on the go direct from my iPhone using the mobile app, so if i need to set up a promotion or coupon I can do it from anywhere.
They keep improving the capability all the time as well.
It helps with my Google rankings and local search results as the shop ones have a place name in.

Telnames, tell everyone!

For driving instructors the telnames mobile site is the perfect solution for their driving school. A great low cost web presence that gives them easy, direct contact with their target market - 16-24 year olds. A huge 71%* (18.5m) of people who access the internet through a mobile device are in this age group.

With images of your tuition vehicle, pupils with Pass Certificates and a linked DSA Driving Test video clip it creates a real attraction to new customers and projects a professional image.

It is the best and most cost effective way for the independent driving instructor, in fact any small business, to reach new customers. I can't recommend it enough.

So far so good

As a web design agency we were looking for a mobile site company after one we had used went out of business so I followed up an email we got from tel names. We have 5 domains with them so far and haven't had any problems so we hope to get more of our customers to have a mobile site as the prices make it affordable for any serious business to offer this service for their customers where ever they are. Beside which you could find some new customers who find your mobile site so what's not to like about that. Peter@cottagewebs

Helen, I am really sorry that you have not had an entirely positive experience with Telnames.
Looking at your page it seems there are a few things you could do to help in terms of being found in search;
Submit your Telname using Google Webmaster tools. Perhaps change the Headline to reflect your Business name and the description to reflect that you are a Counselling and Complementary Health Clinic in Nottingham. You can add more detail in your Profile section too. Another tip is to link from your Twitter account Profile showing your Telname (this way all methods of contact will be available to your followers), Link also from your Facebook (great to see that you are very active from a Social Media perspective). And lastly link from your main website to your Telname (your contact page appears to be broken right now). I am very happy to set up a call with you to maybe go through any of these points if you like and can be reached via reviews (at) telnames.com
All of us here at Telnames want you to have the most positive experience and we are keen to help you to get the most out of the service.

Quick, simple and great value for money!

I recently signed up to telenames so that my B&B & all that it offers could be found easily on a smart phone search. My page is clear, easy to read & hopefully stands out. The whole process was so simple, an 'idiot' guide style form to fill in, background colours to choose, or your own photo, in my case a picture of the house on a sunny day-obviously! The price, an offer for FSB users was the huge sum of £5.00, even full price it's less than £20.00, compared to other sites, which recently offered me exactly the same thing, but..... to the tune of £90.00, plus VAT-eek! So just a suggestion but why not check out telenames & put your business on there too, we all need as much publicity as we can get in todays economic climate & it's excellent value for money, check it out!!
