I’m happy to tell you that the Registry promotions that we ran throughout 2008 with much success will be returning again in 2009. Last year we worked with various Registries to offer special pricing to OpenSRS Resellers including .INFO, .TV, .AT, .CN and more.

We’re doing things a little differently this year. We’re asking our Resellers to opt-in to each promotion. There are different requirements that need to be satisfied in order for us to offer special pricing, so we need to ensure that each Reseller has agreed to the terms of each promotion. We’ll also make any marketing materials or other resources available to you when you sign up.

The first promotion of the year is for .INFO domains. Just like last year, we’ve put together a great promotion with Affilias that allows us to offer you .INFO domains at a Registry cost of zero – yes, as in nothing. All you pay on .INFO domains is the ICANN fee of $0.20 and your OpenSRS Management Fee. You can opt-in to this promotion by filling out a quick and easy form. More details can be found here.

And, to commemorate US Presidential Inauguration Day, the .US Registry (Neustar) is offering a special promotion between now and the end of February, 2009 on .US domain names. Effective immediately, .US domain names will cost you five bucks instead of ten.

You can mark the occasion by offering your customers the chance to display their patriotism with a .US domain name.

Like the .INFO promo that is currently underway, you need to sign up to receive the promotional pricing. Click for more information about the terms and conditions of this promotion and to sign up to receive the special pricing.

We’re committed to passing on the savings to our Resellers and we hope you take advantage of these promotions by doing a little marketing and promotion of your own. These promotions continue to be a great way to drive sales among both existing and new customers.
