Given the growing popularity of the term âorganicâwith consumers, it is increasingly important that buyers be able to trust that providers who offer âorganicsâcan prove they actually deliver organic goods. The .ORGANIC domain meets that need by requiring anyone who wants to register a .ORGANIC Internet address to submit their organic credentials for verification prior to using the domain name.
The usefulness of .ORGANIC Internet addresses has resonated strongly throughout the organic community, which is why leading organic brands have signed up to become .ORGANIC domain pioneers. These brands include:
âItâs exciting to see these organic leaders adopt the .ORGANIC domain so quickly. And itâs especially gratifying to be able to announce this adoption at Natural Products Expo East 2014. Â The speedy adoption by such reputable organizations reinforces our belief that .ORGANIC will really help distinguish the organic space on the Internet,âsaid Roland LaPlante, Senior Vice President and CMO, Afilias. âAnd for consumers, a special Internet space for verified organic providers means they can have confidence that the information they find at .ORGANIC sites is from confirmed organic community members.â
Itâs easy to join these brands in having your own .ORGANIC domain. Find out more at Natural Products Expo East.
