The economy is highly reliant on tourism and service industries. The country struggled to maintain a good fiscal stability in the recent years but has shown a promising future with its reformed economic policies. Foreign investors have also shown a strong interest in expanding in Jamaica because of its impressive and low-cost workforce.
If you are planning to open an online store in Jamaica or simply make a professional website for your company, a .COM.JM is ideal for several reasons:
- .COM.JM is unsaturated. You don’t have to choose a misspelled keyword or register a domain name that is extremely long just to have a website that “fits” your trademark. .COM.JM increases your chance of getting a domain name the perfectly fits your trademark or brand name.
- .COM.JM is a premium domain suffix at a fair price. It is unique and is rarely used in the internet. It gives a quick recall to customers and it prevents your business from being mistaken or confused with other online stores.
- Even if .COM.JM is not very popular yet in online businesses, it doesn’t mean that your website will be penalized by Google or other search engines. Google explained that ccTLDs will be treated just like how .COM or .BIZ is treated. The same SEO rules shall apply! So there is no need to always register a .COM website because other domain extensions are just as good.
- .COM.JM improves branding especially if you are targeting Jamaicans or local residents of Jamaica. It is common for consumers to shop first from a local website instead of international ones. Ease in online transaction and shipping are some of their concerns. If your website is localized, expect to earn higher level of trust.
