discuss What makes for a good brandable domain ? Showcase your brandables here

[oldtimer]

With thousands of startups needing a name for their new company and many more existing businesses also branching out all the time and needing names for their new line of products and services it seems that brandable domains is one of the areas that could be very beneficial to domainers both old and new and deserves to be explored further.

Below are a few points of discussion to get this thread started, if I have left something important out please let me know so that it can be added to them. If you have any tips or advice about brandable domains please feel free to share them with the rest of us.


1-What is a brandable domain.

2-How many different types of brandable domains are there and is one type better than the others.

3-What makes a brandable domain stand out amongst thousands of others.

4-What is the optimum length for a brandable domain, how long can a brandable domain be and still qualify as being a good choice.

5-What types of brandable domains are most desired by startups and existing businesses.

6-What is the best way to find brandable domains.

7-What is the best way to sell brandable domains.


Attention Newbies: It's probably best to first hear what some of the more experienced domainers have to say about this subject before you consider getting any domains, and even then it's probably best to experiment with just a few domains at a time. You should be able to sell one domain and then use the proceeds from that sale to get more domains, if you cannot even sell one domain then you are doing something wrong and need to adjust your strategy. IMO

You seem to have a knack for selecting great names.

I really like this one, and you'll probably have no problem selling it.

Quhr.com

Migrated into my account today.

I like pronounceable "Q" domains.

[hookbox]

Ms Domainer the only problem is that the name Quhr is pronounced Queer. So who would buy it? Please don't take it offensive but I am curious of your thoughts on it.

every time i register/buy a brandable name i ask myself if i would name my business, brand, product, app etc that name.
if/when my answer is yes i would gladly take the name ...and then upon having it in my account i dont want to sell it anymore, i wanna keep it even though i'm pretty sure i would never use it for something real in my lifetime. this is frightening me..


back to domains.. brandables.. well, today i like NuDot

Ms Domainer the only problem is that the name Quhr is pronounced Queer. So who would buy it? Please don't take it offensive but I am curious of your thoughts on it.

Actually it's pronounced "core." Had it been Quehr or Quer, I would agree.

But the hr at the end gives it the "o" sound.

Aside from that, the academic gay culture has adopted "Queer Studies" as a literary genre, so if the right buyer sees it as "queer" and wants to buy it, it's all good.

[steveteva]

What do you think about cloudiffy?
There is cloudify.cc and other cloudify that are trademarks. So got cloudiffy dot com.

There is cloudify.cc and other cloudify that are trademarks. So got cloudiffy dot com.

I don't think companies would want a name that is too similar to another one.

 

[BrandFishing]

Sorry , But none of these are brandable

I am sorry but none of these are really brandable
Kindly Go through this thread again and you will get an idea of How you should select Brandables.
The Names Should be small
They should be catchy and easy to say
The should be spelled as they are pronounced.
I have a few brandables at both namerific and Brandbucket.
Examples like Rosova, Zorono, Splenova,
and many more.
Hope I was useful.

Hi all,

Where are the best places to list your 'brandable' domains for sale?

The obvious ones would be Namerific and Brandbucket (if they accept them). I have found icBrands.com as well

I was wondering whether there are any other companies that currently do the same thing so i can list the domains on several platforms. or is there any brokers who specialize in brandable domains?
Any help would be great.

 

[Honey Domains]

Hi Nappy Bunch, thanks for the list and that is a great question. I just checked out icBrands.com, do you have any listed with them yet?

I just got one name accepted to Namerific and have another 8 they are thinking about. Looks like the days of learning from their personal rejections are over! I only got an automated refusal. I subbed to Brandbucket nearly 2 weeks ago so am still waiting to hear back from there too.

It looks like Brandroot is a professional-looking place to keep an eye on, as the option to sell with them is "coming soon". I don't know of any others, and would love to hear of any others too.
