Are new gTLD Renewal Rates Realistic?

Extract: "With .COM the renewal rates hovers close to 50% (this is the last I’ve heard, correct me if I’m wrong!) I think new gTLDs should be expecting closer to a 30% – 40% renewal rate".

Reminder:

• Fan Clubs can register a ".club" domain name with UniRegistry;
• Brands can submit their trademark data into the Trademark Clearinghouse ("TMCH") to participate in a Sunrise Period. The TMCH calendar is available here;
• Promoting new domain names to end-users requires time, contact Jovenet Consulting for help.
