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

All those sound like something a teenager would pick for personal social media handle, not brandable startup names. You can't just put an adjective in front of an animal name and call it "brandable" xD

I'd wager that a majority of domainers who regularly use the term 'brandable domain' have essentially no meaningful comprehension of what a 'brand' is.

Sure, they can run off to wikipedia or dictionary.com, collar a broad definition and feign knowledge, but 'branding' as a practice is as wide as 'medicine' or 'landscaping' or 'farming'.

It's like saying "what's the best land for farming?"

It depends on what you intend to farm.

Some markets are best served by an abstract brandable domain, others a keyword brandable. Some of the most potent 'brandable' domains are single, common dictionary words, branded to represent a product or service. If Steve Jobs never existed and someone came to Namepros asking what to do with Apple.com, most people here would think fruit.

That's why they're here.

Got this from a history of apple on uk mac world.

"According to the biography of Steve Jobs, the name was conceived by Jobs after he returned from apple farm. He apparently thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating.”

The name also likely benefited by beginning with an A, which meant it would be nearer the front of any listings."

The brand has been in existence for ca 42 years now. Any brand name like that takes a lot of lifting imho.

Stubt.com

There's a name out there (long since regged) that is perhaps maybe the very best of them all.

Especially now. I've long-wanted to acquire it but there ain't no way in h*ll it's going anywhere.

And, it's not "brandable".

Brandable domain sounds with a hidden meaning but not always. Google doesn't have a specific meaning. But its very popular around the world.
