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:

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.

upload_2017-2-20_14-27-32.png 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. :penguin:

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
You can submit a support ticket regarding the rejected name to have it reviewed.

And I am pretty sure that it is/would be possible to re-submit names at a later date, should circumstances have changed, that would give it a better chance of acceptance. E.g. A similar name to yours has been sold already or removed from the marketplace.
can you fire off a different 5 every week for their review process ?

>> can you fire off a different 5 every week for their review process ?

@ThatDomainGuy -

Are you asking about 5 new names every week?

Or asking to re-review 5 prior rejects every week?

Currently you are only permitted 10 submissions per week. Flooding the system with 5 prior rejects each weeks seems regurgitated.

Currently you can submit 10 per week, so you should be good.

Best of luck.

one of my domain have 6 Favourites in 2 days it can good sign for fast selling?
https://brandpa.com/name/corpious

Doesn't mean much. The names I have sold did not have favorites, as far as I noticed, and I have a name that went to 10 favs and back to 3 with no sale or offer.

I have to yet see the connection there.

Just joined, they approved 50% of my domains , site looks good and waiting for logos to be done. Not sure if domains will sell or not, but so far it was a good experience with Brandpa, will report in future if anything happens.

If you really sure about value of your domain name then suggest it otherwise just publish it based on BP suggested price.

You see a lots of names priced for $4k & more by their owner & no wonder if they don't see any sales within 2 years.

I'm not that expert but according to what I read here and there
Since platforms such BB,BP,BR,NF have only BIN option
The most sales are between $1500 to $2500
To me these (prices) are reasonable

You should put the price you are willing to sell at even if that is over what Brandpa suggested. It’s your name.

Thanks. Contact support to get an invite. I think you have to have a certain number listed though. Not sure on the number.
