question Is the oral care industry a good market to sell domains

Always someone buying domains in any niche really key is to find them.

i had a gf in the dentistry business, you can't really explain to them why paying more than 10k for a name makes sense. they do a lot of direct marketing and pay good money for that but they get immediate, measurable results. they are in the "i spend 1k i get 10 new customers thru the door" mentality.

now oralcare.com or dentist.com is another level, that's gold!

Oralcare.com would make a great site for advice for some politicians.

Thank you for your feedback.

@comati from what your saying it takes some work to educate them on why they should spend a good amount of money for a domain name.

Still like you said they are in the "i spend 1k i get 10 new customers thru the door" mentality. So i still believe it's easier to educate or for them to understand the benefits a good domain name can bring from a marketing point of view.

Imagine if you have a oral care related domain that brings some target traffic, example: newyorkdentist.com gets a good amount of traffic per day or month, if i contact a new york dentist that spends 1k per month on advertising and go from the point "newyorkdentist.com is receiving 30 visits per day, majority is people who are looking for a dentist in new york if you redirect this domain to your website you receive plus 30 people who can convert into customers saving you 1k per month on ad's."

I believe you can get around 1k to 5k in avg of sales to endusers for domain names in the oral care space.

I was looking for people who had pass sales to endusers in this space, or maybe turn this thread into a oral care domains showcase.

More feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Majority of oral care businesses in my neighbourhood love to use the word 'smile' in the name.

@Justin Matmor your right i seen a couple with the word smile.

More feedback and domain sales in this space are welcomed and appreciated.

I agree the word "smile" has value for dentists, and so would "perfect" and other words. Recently sold a domain to a practice, the domain had "excel" in it. There are a ton of dentists using that keyword.

This industry is huge but there isn't enough good .com's to go around. I was fortunate enough to pick up one good oral domain with great age but it's tough.

Thank you for your feedback @ultradog @namesquare

I agree with @namesquare "This industry is huge but there isn't enough good .com's to go around" but there's still some .com's with potential for this industry with brandables using great keywords like the ones @ultradog mention, also there's still some good geo .com domains left, but there is a limit of good ones for this industry it's a tough space in the domain business.

I think some cctld's are also good to target the oral care industry.

@namesquare can you share the domain you picked up?

@ultradog can you share the domain you sold?

I can't post it, but if you search for "excel dentist" or other dental practice words with excel, you'll see how this keyword is proliferating -- even a practice in Ireland using it. I suspect a branding deal is responsible.

I think the biggest hurdle you would encounter with the Dental/Oral care industry is that they get swamped... overloaded to the max with internet marketing services (SEO, Social Media Marketing, PPC, SEO, SEO, SEO AND MORE SEO) Mainly because at one stage (during the good old days) it was relativley easy to rank a Dentist for his local area on the top spot of search results...this was even before Google Places existed. The rationale was that because Dentist (as well as many other specialized healtcare practioners) charge a fair amount of money for a single consultation...so even if your SEO work got them 10 extra clients per month it was a considerable increase in their revenue... When my fellow Internet marketers figured this out...as you can imagine.. these Dentists were getting spammed to death and many of them still are.. so if you are going to pitch them on domain name it would have to be over the phone or in person or even good old fashion post cards..lol

@ultradog i did some search and your absolutely correct there is a great number of companies using the term "excel" in the oral care space.

I think it's because a major well known company in the oral care industry branded them self with the term "excel" and had some success so other companies in the oral care space started to follow in their steps.

Also "excel and smile" are great terms to use has brandables for the oral care industry.

@deez007 Thank you for your feedback.

You might be right when you said "so if you are going to pitch them on domain name it would have to be over the phone or in person or even good old fashion post cards..lol" but even if dentist get a great amount of spam from marketers, if you get the email from the owner/CEO and you have a good domain name that will benefit them bringing more customers the owner will be interested.

If that wont work then i would try the phone or in person method (if i can).

I already thought in talking to my dentist if she's interested in a domain that i have (it's a short version of her domain name), i would sell the domain for a reasonable price and free consultations if she's interested.

More feedback is welcome and appreciated.

i think....


if they already have a domain, then why do they need or want yours?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then i think....

when you ask about a market to sell in, and depending on that market...
you may wake up some folks to an area of exploitation, that they never thought of -

or alert somebody, like me, who has dealt in that market and your post reminded them to go back -

then, you could end up left behind, while you still thinking about if it's worth it or not.




still, i sold "painlessdentalcare com'" a couple of years ago, via incoming inquiry.

and just jotted down about six names i can acquire in this space.

danka


imo....

Once again great advice and feedback @biggie

They might need or want my domain because the one they have is 4 words with 26 letters (very long and a bit hard to type) and my domain is just their 2 first words with 12 letters. This is just my opinion doesn't mean they might be interested in the domain.

great points and feedback your brought up biggie always with words of wisdom.

I know i'm alerting others to this space but i'm just feeling this terrain also i already have the domain i was interested in this space and if i alert someone to this market and if it help's other domainers to make money it's a plus to me because i will feel like i at least contribute to the domain community it's the least i could do, since the community helped me so much in the past.

thanks for sharing.

Click to expand...

some markets need or want full descriptive adjectives or long tails, to help define the service they provide

and... if those words help narrow the search, the better for them

ie: childrensdentistnearme.com 22 letters 4 words redirects to http://undertheseadental.com/


imo....

Yes i completely agree with you Biggie.

I think they could use my domain like you said in your example or vice versa, also have other potential endusers, there are so many variables when it comes to "does this enduser need or is interested in my domain" sometimes we have to go with our gut even if there's 99 reasons why the endusers might not want your domain and just 1 or 2 reasons why they might want the domain (just my opinion).

Thanks for your feedback great has always.
