Our
free monthly newsletter is being email to opt-in
subscribers today but we think it is one that everyone
will want to read (it is also available online here).
The newsletter contains our |
|
latest quarterly
analysis of domain sales data to see how the the
domain aftermarket is holding up in the face of the
financial meltdown in the general economy. We compare the
recently completed third quarter of this year vs. the same
quarter of last year as well as Year to Date results for
2008 (Quarters 1-3) vs. the same time frame in 2007. The
results may surprise you!
The newsletter
also features more details (and new photos) from domain
industry giants Dr. Chris Hartnett and Dr. Kevin
Ham recounting their experiences at the Harvard
Business School where they just completed the rigorous
and internationally acclaimed Harvard Advanced
Management Program. |
