Domain sales letter example

Hi there,
I was wondering if some of you could give some examples of your domain seller letters that you send to partys you think might be interested in buying them.

Dear ......

etc etc


I am interested in how some of the more experience domainers here pitch their product. In our case domains.

i only have a look

The following is the template that I use and I have had a lot of success with it. I like to be as vague as possible in order to create an air of mystery, but also add an element of personalization so that I can connect with the end-user. There are 5 elements to a proper domain sales letter and I will cover them below.

1. Title - I use the following because I think it appeals to everyone on a basic core level of human longing.

Your Good Fortune!

This approach implies that the contents of the email are about good fortune. Not just good fortune in general, but rather their good fortune. I ask you, who among us is willing to pass up the opportunity for good fortune?

2. Greeting - I want to use a greeting that catches the users attention and lets them know that this email is specifically for them.

Hey, you there! No, don't look behind you, I'm talking to you, the one sitting right at the computer reading this. I am genuinely glad to make your acquaintance.

As you can see, this gives the user a profound sense of inclusion and they will derive a feeling of great importance and personal validation from knowing that I am speaking directly to them and no one else. Also, they will feel warm and fuzzy inside, because I am genuinely glad to be talking to them. None of that fake, lip-service BS.

3. Pitch - This is where I like the mystery to come into play. I don't even tell them specifically what I am selling. All they know is that there is a domain involved and a possible exchange of money.

I you have domain. Give me money NOW!!!

Notice how I intentionally made a sentence structure error in order to add confusion? I, you... They're not sure if I have the domain or if they do. However, I seem to be adamant about not having been paid. This works, especially with large companies, because one department never knows what the other is doing. They may think there is a possibility that an accounting error has occurred and are likely to inquire further about which domain I am referencing.

4. Signature - Now this is where you really step it up a notch and add a lot of personalization.

Your BFF,
htimS nhoJ
I said FOREVER!

Notice how I state that we are Best Friends Forever? Obviously, your best friend wouldn't try to steer you wrong, so this instantly helps you to gain a level of trust with the user. But, just in case they may have their doubts, I signed my name backwards. The capitalization is at the end of each name, so they are likely to catch this and figure out that my name is actually John Smith. This will undoubtedly make them feel intelligent and it will give them a sense of personal accomplishment. Immediately, they will connect this feeling with John Smith and this will help to reinforce the fact that you are indeed Best Friends. Then I go a step further with the positive reinforcement angle, by declaring once and for all, that friendship and loyalty are valuable to me and are forever.

5. P.S. - Now that we've connected with our user and have clearly invested in our friendship, I like to ask them to reciprocate this sentiment.

P.S. Please send this email to 10 of your business colleagues or you will break the chain and have bad fortune.

Nobody, I mean absolutely nobody, wants to have bad fortune. Even if you might be arrogant enough to pass up the opportunity of good fortune, no one is daft enough to willingly invoke the wrath of bad fortune. This adds a viral element to our marketing approach and ensures that our offer of friendship and demands for money will be heard the world over.

So altogether, it looks like this.

Your Good Fortune!

Shirley, you must be joking.

 

[DaddyHalbucks]

The chances are your email recipient is not the right person to make the decision.

Then, your next problem is that the decision maker probably is not knowledgeable about domain names.

Just keep those things in mind!!

 

[AlexanderC]

Thanks for all these examples. It's helped me out a ton.

[PHATnames]

what do you think is better a personalized letter or mass mailing

It's been awhile, lets see if any new ideas get shared in the mean time, Here's the ?

Do you think that a personalized email to a few people in one company is better than a mass mail of say 250 people in a few different companys in the same nich. Of course you'd bcc all the emails I would think.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

My name is <<ur name>>, and I am the owner of the internet domain: DiamondBourse.net (ur domain)

I am writing to you because I am offering the domain name for sale. I am convinced that the domain would be an important marketing tool, and a valuable asset of eletronic property for <<Company Name>>.

Kindly note that all other extensions of name DiamondBourse like .com, .org, .info, .biz are already booked.

Please feel free to contact me if you have interest in acquiring this domain, or if this information sparks any questions.

Thank you @ domaindevelopers. After all these years I still found your mailing format appropriate and straight to the point. Would definitely put to good use.

Hi, I have applied for a Trademark under "domain name" in my Country as I have a Company under the same Name and I am waiting for the approval of my international trademark as all the papers have been filed.

I am interested in the domain but when my trademark does come through, please note that any sort of usage of the domain for the same purpose will be considered a Trademark Infringement and or usage under bad faith

I'm managing a Domaining Company..I'm pretty sure our offers won't match and the negotiation won't lead us anywhere since I'm not looking to spend much on the domain especially when I own various TLDs of similar names.

Hello,
My name is ...Joe Smith, registered owner of the web domain: Doitytgyhot.com
I am currently offering this domain "for sale". Domains are growing in value each year. I am convinced
that internet presence is an essential marketing tool, and a valuable asset of electronic property and authoritative online presence.

I believe that this business/industry specific domain is very useful for your organization. Should your organization, have interest in acquiring this domain, or if this information sparks any questions, please
feel free to contact me.

An atempt will be made to contact industry related individuals and domainers, as our portfolio will
systematically reduce domain ownership.

This domain should serve work to your advantage in the search engines and in Internet and offline marketing campaigns.

This is a very short term, first come first served opportunity. I am contacting other _________ businesses today about this opportunity.

I will sell this domain today for _________.

Thanks and regards,
Your name
Your website
Your contact details.

 

[RowanAlive]

You should be able to find samples on Google.
For me it should be simple and straight to the point.

 

[enlytend]

If you just Google it you don't know if what you find actually works or not. In this case, people posting from their own experience is more likely to show useful strategies.
I think we may have at least one other thread on this topic here at Namepros, you might want to try our site search for more ideas.

 

[Georgi Vasilev]

What a thread! It deserves to be brought back to life! Let's see what a nowadays sales letter looks like. I will post mine in a few hours.

 

[Altoz]

I agree with Georgi...

 

[Nice Guy]

This is a great thread thank you! Wondering if anyone has tried a combination of letters throughout the pages and found favorable results versus others listed throughout the pages?

 

[Syasya I]

If you have a list of LLL.(their country's extension) and it can ALL be used nationally/politically/socially etc, are we still allowed to pitch domain sales to the *government* of that particular country? Since government or national websites also mostly use short domains as well. Thanks

 

[noonoo1]

Has anyone got a lease letter/email rather than a sales letter/email ?

 

[Dondomainer]

I sent this couple of days back on behalf of a seller.
