The New Norm for Consumers
Shopping, from the all-encompassing Amazon to niche sites like Iced Out Gear and Nordic Walking Online embraces almost all activity online in one way or another. Books? You bet. Digital media streamed directly you your phone? Of course. Ringtones. Software. Diapers. Dog food. Office supplies. Intellectual property. Real estate. Antiques. If you can name it, it's shopped-for online. With the huge need in mind, .SHOP will be one of the most highly sought after new generic top-level domains (new gTLDs)
Supporting Shopping Online
Even the largest physical stores are facing increasing competition from “showrooming,” in which people buy online after shopping in person, sometimes buying online with their phones while still in the brick-and-mortar store.
It's hard to imagine how recently this all began. After all, Amazon launched in 1995 and eBay in 1996. People once scoffed at the idea of shopping over the Internet. Today, approximately 8% of all retail sales are online - over $140 billion per year in consumer sales alone.
.SHOP has quickly become one of the most contested new gTLD and has received eight applications. Applicants include Dot Shop, Beijing Jingdong 360 DU E-Ecommerce, Charleston Road Registry (Google), GMO Registry, Sugar Maple with Donuts, Amazon, Commercial Connect and DotShop.
