BrandPa.com has announced their presence on NamePros...

Hi there! I'm sorry your experience with BB wasn't pleasant :/ If you'd like to try our marketplace please don't hesitate to do so We're new in the domaining industry but very eager to learn! Let me know what you think or if you have any questions This is us: https://brandpa.com/ (or if you'd like to read about the sellers' rules visit this page: https://brandpa.com/start-selling)

Look forward to hearing from you!

Granted, the above post is from the BrandBucket experience thread, and will likely be deleted for being off topic / wrong thread, it was the first time I heard of them. The founder, @Jowita Emberton, had introduced herself in an earlier thread:

Jowita Emberton said:
Hi guys! NamePros is a great website to get invaluable information about the domaining industry. As a reader, I'm here pretty much every day. As a writer, I'm starting today

I'm the founder of Brandpa (brandpa.com), a domain name marketplace similar to BB, BR or Namerific. We use AI and human knowledge to create and judge the names’ value according to how easy to pronounce and catchy they are.

I'm here to learn, get to know you and your recent experiences with other brandable name marketplaces We're still developing the business so any insight on our site (brandpa.com) or anything you're missing from other marketplaces will be very useful

Thanks!

I'm creating this thread to discuss their marketplace, and for those who have experiences with them.

Here's what I know so far:

The founder, @Jowita Emberton, runs two other online businesses according to her LinkedIn page.

Delighten.co.uk - Web / brand design firm.

Weddination.com - Polish wedding services

According to her LinkedIn, she has been operating BrandPa since August 2016. Though, the last cached Archive.org screenshot is a server error on October 4, 2016 HERE

BrandPa.com (2006) is registered to Oliver Emberton, founder and managing director of SilkTide.com.

Currently, there are 562 domains published / listed on BrandPa. It appears most domains listed are handregged by the owners. Not 100% on this; I will run a check when my program is working again.

After reviewing their listings, I found two errors.

The domain regged is MonoRaptor.com, but the text reads ManoRaptor.com

The domain regged is UnknownVenues.com, but the text reads UnknownVenus.com

At first look:

Pros

No Listing Fee
FREE Logos
Domain Owner sets price ($1,000+)
Forwards all offers for sellers consideration
Brandpa is a pretty memorable / catchy brandable domain.
Select 'On-Sale' marketing section

Cons

Low Alexa Ranking (4,557,819)

New site. Assuming low organic traffic, and low type-in traffic due to quality and quantity of inventory.
Piggy-back branding off BrandBucket in site footer see below

Reviews are all from .co.uk domains, yet BrandPa doesn't sell any .co.uk domains. A quick glance at other domains owned by the reviewers and I wasn't able to verify any brandable .com's with history tracing back to BrandPa.

Personal thoughts: I respect that they "allow the seller to submit more domain names" by not charging a listing fee. To me this shows they are willing to work for your exclusivity. Should they gain popularity, I wonder if they'll sustain this business model and/or if their logo / listing quality will decrease over time when resources are spread across the masses.

@Jowita Emberton = Feel free to comment / fill in any of the blanks.

They rejected my $600 purchase Dash/it/dotcom because it has word "shit" in it.
LOL

MetroService.com

This domain is damn good, as already taken in about 15 categories, 15 odd years old and has a wide scope,
What I believe, it can even hit xxx,xxx if properly brokered (its only my appraisal, I do not know what you or other think), as I am not very good marketer so going to put on brandpa and will see if can hit BIN with in some months. btw I can only hope.

There is chance on branded domain platform for this domain to be sold quickly. I also own the .net version of this domain

I sold that on Flippa last year. I guess you were the buyer.

Looks like its already under offer as the "buy now" button is not showing. Did you do any promotion after listing it.

Hello my friend.
I do not know, because I have never sold a domain in brandpa.

What do you think?
best regards

In all honesty I think the majority of people will read DaShit.com instead of DashIt.com

I wouldn't sweat the rejection tho, It's a good name and I am sure you will do well with it.

Doron Vermaat · May 21, 2018

Ok, so apearently Namepros is censoring the S word..

BodCal and Fuzzlee were accepted. 2 in a row; 3 total now. They rejected Investney though, I was surprised by that. I'll try BrandBucket and see if they accept it lol

MitchH · May 24, 2018

Here is the Fuzzlee logo that BrandPa designed... wasn't entirely expecting that haha

domains21 · May 24, 2018

That is a quality little logo and really suits the name.

I think instead of rotating the Historical sales on the Home Page at BrandPa, they should only show Freshly closed sales on their homepage like BrandRoot does. This way, the sellers will know how the sales are going on at BrandPa.

100% agree. Seeing same names over again and again kill my motivation.

I think their sales frequency is not strong enough to show off.
