BrandBucket Experience

Site Glitch:

1) The arrow > under feature names redirects to www.brandbucket.com/staff-pick-business-names

2) The arrow > under premium names redirects to www.brandbucket.com/premium-business-names

3) The arrow > under recently added names redirects to www. brandbucket.com/names

In which the domains are sorted by default to staff picks, instead of recently added domains.

Is this intentional?

If it is, I think it's a little misleading. Every other arrow goes to where it says it'll go. Link 3 by default promotes domains from link 1 and 2.

Shouldn't the arrow > under recently added domains by default redirect to:



Thank you @michaeljkrell in advance for looking into this.

I see more domains now on BB that were rejected when I submitted them and seemingly have been approved later when submitted by their new owner after I sold them here on NP.

I think BB sellers getting domains rejected should resubmit again and again and again to prevent that situation and see others profit from it.

Look what i found in my Inbox.


Brandbucket Sold Domain Data Released...

New Brandbucket Domain Sales Data.

Hi, my name is James and today I'll be sharing with you some great stuff.
Well to keep things short and sweet I basically promised a friend to share his great work with my fellow domainers if and only if I was able to profit from the BB sales data list. So it all started when he decided to invest in brandable domain names so at that time he turned to branbucket to submit his domain names but unfortunately hundreds got rejected. He was a novice at that time and thought any names could sell on the fly.

So after reading many popular blogs about selling brandable domain names he discovered that analyzing sales data especially ones from brandbucket was really helping. But after a Google search he couldn't find much up to date list that he could use. So him being a programmer came up with great method to acquire does data that brandbucket don't publish.

So far I have benefited from the list and obviously himself. If you wish to download an up to date brandbucket sales data thendnbolt.com is the place to go.
Thanks for your time and get back to me if you found this useful.

Happy domaining!

You're right Jack, it would be oh so dum to think everything can be completely hidden

For these type of high dollar purchases it is vital that the customer trust the marketplace, especially when it comes to something like a domain which is difficult for many customers to wrap their heads around. Taking them to the marketplace where they can see who we are and what we do ultimately makes them feel more comfortable making the purchase. The most successful outcome for us is someone seeing the landing and purchasing that name.



We very much appreciate your feedback, and will take it into consideration if/when we start testing modifications to our current landers.

Honestly, this is not fair to a seller. Everything on a Buy Now page should gravitate towards the buyer making THE purchase, NOT showing him other names.

The moral thing is to allow the buyer complete checkout, then on the thank you/congratulations for payment page, other similar names can be shown.

You mentioned the current method proved most successful,...... to who? Sellers or Brandbucket? Because once a buyer clicks Buy Now, it is most certain that he has taken a decision on a particular name and wants to buy. So why make him start another decision making process with a list of other names.

From your testing and tracking, what is the percentage of buyers that bought the first buy now click, and what is the percentage of buyers that changed their decision and bought from the similar names list instead. This will help us sellers appreciate the exclusivity agreement, listing fee, and "forced" suggested price range better.

Sold a name this month p.a.y.a.r.c.

Thanks for the platform

Have you ever seen that you have sold a name on BB before you receive the email?

I was trawling through my names last year and noticed a red 'sold' banner across one of my names, 24hrs later I received the email.

Probably it may be the time necessary for the confirmation of the buyer's payment.

This has happened to me.

I now have a nervous habit of looking through my BB domains when I'm needing a sale.

Yea, me too. Some sales are made by phone and I assume they flag/reserve the domain right away to set it aside but don't contact the seller until the buyer makes payment. I don't see any harm in it. I always get paid

It happened with me before, however it was a false alarm, sale never went through. It hurt a bit.

Recently I registered a domain name, but when I tried to add it to BB the message was "Domain already exists", so I contacted the support and they put it under my account. However this time I had to pay the $10 listing fee (last time the domain was published immediately). The domain went straight on the bottom of my list, meaning it was the oldest one...

Probably this time you got a domain that was accepted on BB, but was never published

How do you request a logo change? Couple of mine were probably assigned to the same designer, who was not only too lazy to add any real logo work, besides a random font and lines, but also to even change font colors from one name to another.

Compare:

How much have you allocated for each logo?

It's also necessary to consider the logo price. My names with $100 logos are definitely inferior logo-wise.

I haven't increased budget from $100, if that is what you are asking. And I don't think I should. I love what was done with this one for the same budget:

Well - i can tell you that none of the buyers of my names at BB is using the BB logo.

Good point!

So, no one knows how to request the logo change? )

It is not about whether the logo will be used, it is about visualization what can be done with the brand and improving chances of sale.
