Did you know this week is “customer service week?”

There are quite a few domain industry companies who have team members that regularly go above and beyond to help their clients. These company representatives are quick to reply to questions and requests, are able to navigate difficult issues that come up, and they regularly handle complicated matters in confidence. Some of these professionals aren’t in a typical customer management role, but they work to put the customer first. Put simply, working with these people makes my life easier and helps me run my business.

I want to take a moment to say “thank you” to some of the great people I work with on a regular basis and greatly appreciate:

I grew up playing soccer, and have always enjoyed watching soccer games and matches when I can. My brother got me into supporting Arsenal a bit, so I watch my fair share of English Premier League matches. Beyond some advertising (like SportsBet.io) during matches, I have not really seen much of a tie-in between domain names and football – until yesterday.

Did you know a domain name registrar is the kit (jersey) sponsor for a major professional football team in Europe? I was checking in on some matches on ESPN yesterday, when the German Super Cup match caught my attention. Bayern beat Dortmund 3-2, but it was the Borussia Dortmund jersey that was what stood out to me.
