Competitive Advantage
The word “oriented” is used by millions of people every day, has multiple definitions, can be used in different parts of speech, and elicits a positive, emotional response.
Even amongst the world’s most valuable generic domain names, it is extremely rare for a one-word domain to have this combination of attributes because of the unlimited ways that it can be used to firmly establish brand recall and loyalty.
Stephen Houraghan explains the science behind this phenomenon.

Kyra Dawson:
“Companies spend millions … by incorporating music, sounds, images, vivid color and celebrities to trigger huge sensory responses towards their product, company or innovation. An emotional response towards a name is the human-to-brand connection that is sought after like the Holy Grail. If customers feel drawn to something, loyalty … is sure to follow.”
