I have a product I sell on one of my online stores and the manufacturer runs under ColdBlaster.com


I am an official distributor for this Canadian Company and I run it under ColdBlaster.ca


Without a stitch of advertising I have become the biggest national seller of the ColdBlaster product.


Do you think the manufacturer lost out by not registering the .ca?

Lost out may not be the best term but I’m sure they would love the .ca. It would depend of course on the volume they deal with in Canada.

Have they ever approached you to buy it from you?
 
The manufacturer is from Canada but neglected to register the .ca


I am an authorized distributer and the highest volume selling distributor in Canada, I sell thousands of bottles of this product.


The manufacturer does all the advertising and sells the product direct on the .com. I do no advertising and sell from the .ca. My sales rival his and make me the highest volume dealer in Canada.


So how important is the .ca?
 
So does being a distributor give you the right to register their mark? Something doesn’t make sense to me here.

It’s like owning someone’s TM and running an affiliate site off their products by confusing customers into thinking they are buying from their website.

Nope, I am there biggest AUTHORIZED distributor and have their blessing.
I sell a ton of product and I get all my product right from them so they actually don't mind.

It states very clearly on my site that I am an authorized DISTRIBUTOR.

I have had the relationship with the manufacturer for many years and we are actually quite tight.
 
From what I see the .ca domain has zero impact on sales. People search the product name in Google -- shop.mnm.ca ranks #2. The .com (ranks #1) site's ecom doesn't work at the moment - and, if it did, seems is more expensive for single unit.
