Subject: .shop is the only TLD that makes sense for retailers. ICANN HELP!

Message:
 

 
As a niche retailer I can tell you this whole .com,.net,.org maze on the net has been a nightmare for me as far as marketing and brandability costs go.  My sites get plenty of "hits", mostly from content seekers, not shoppers.  I revise the sites constantly trying to provide more extensive and updated content relative to my products, in addition to the content provided by my merchandisers, and I keep up with the technology and try to keep the sites attractive, debugged, and easy to use.  My marketing and advertising budget has quadrupled over the past year, with little improvement showing in my sales figures.  Meanwhile, my brick and mortar establishments are doing great, with much less aggressive effort.

I believe that the release of the .shop TLD would help me a great deal, at the very least, help to direct the "shoppers" to my sites.
