WP(WordPress) Industry

Industry – an activity or domain in which a great deal of effort is expended …
Industry – a particular form or branch of economic or commercial activity …

WP = WordPress, but you can’t use WordPress since it is trademarked. And really WP is cool, wp-admin is what the link to the WordPress backend goes by.

Industry here is taken as the ecosystem of productive activity by a group of companies in the same space. The space in the case of WpIndustry is WordPress; a content management system on which over 70million websites run.

If you’ve heard of blogging, it’s the top application making blogging possible. WordPress is a trademark and so you’ll commonly find WP being used in domain names rather than WordPress.

There are thousands, several thousands of such domain names that have adopted the pattern of WP as suffix or prefix when naming their WordPress-focused business or website.

Branding tip #41

Ward and Lee (2000) found that brand names are a significant source of information; online shoppers, especially, use brand names as substitutes for product information.

They also suggest the shift from reliance on product brands to reliance on corporate brands in the net economy will continue.

This leads to a growing importance of corporate branding in the net economy (Leitch and Richardson, 2003) and makes success on the internet heavily dependent on professional branding (Carpenter, 2000).
