and business leaders is clear: a weak domain is far more than a branding inconvenience. Whether through reduced trust, weaker customer recall, lower click-through rates, or lost direct traffic, respondents overwhelmingly believe that domain choice has a measurable impact on revenue year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, serial entrepreneurs are more likely to estimate a higher loss of revenue from a poor domain with 67% of founders overall and 84% of serial entrepreneurs suggesting a poor domain will cost at least 15% in revenue. More experienced founders and business leaders have a greater understanding of the value of a strong domain, and the impact of a weak one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">93% of business investors, and over 90% of founders, consider that the revenue loss of a poor domain is over 5%. Even small businesses with an estimated annual revenue of just $1M stand to lose between $50K (at 5%) and $350K (at 35%)<em> <\/em>every year on a poor domain. This makes domain name a crucial early investment for the trajectory of your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in digging deeper into our findings, or asking your own questions on domain choice and branding topics, contact <a href=\"mailto:thom@atomradar.com\">thom@atomradar.com<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further Reading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atom.com\/radar\/domain-name-data-and-insights\/\">Must-Read Insights on Domain Names Backed by Deep Audience Research<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atom.com\/radar\/brandable-domains-startup-success\/\">Brandable Domains Correlate with Startup Success for Business Investors: 94% Associate Weak Domains with a Risk of Failure<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atom.com\/radar\/investors-on-startup-vision\/\">Business Investors are Unanimous: 98% Say Name and Domain Signal a Startup\u2019s Long-Term Vision<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every early branding decision builds a foundation, the strength of which impacts your business\u2019s fortunes and trajectory for years to come.
