A few of you have been asking me to post sales. Here's one from last year that I didn't report yet (
Decibel). I'll try to post more sooner than later if I ever manage to fine the time! lol .. In the meantime, here are some more purchases.
Nice names. Did you get then all in closeouts, or you had to jump into auctions for some? What was the highest you paid and for which one ?
I already share soooo much information here and at NameCult that I try to avoid posting specific numbers. I will say that most people would be very surprised at some of the gems I find at closeout .. although I most certainly will bid at auction if a name is very strong. If you want to know about one or two specifically, feel free to message me privately!
TelemarketingLists // dot // com (1999)
Absolutely monster stats on this keyword domain. As much as people don't like telemarketing, the reason it continues to exist is because there is huge money in it .. and every single company involved need lists!
VistaMortgages // dot // com
A really nice strong mortgage name. I googled a bit and found a few companies that use the name in various parts of the world.
MajesticFireplaces // dot // com (1999)
Pretty much the perfect name for a fireplace company (retail or manufacturer). Again, a quick google check and I found a handful of potential end users.
CellularPros // dot // com (1999)
For any business who wants to be known as the Pro in the half TRILLION dollar a year cell phone industry.
Appnomics // dot // com (2008)
Lots of money in apps. Great name for a app consulting agency.
Nubii // dot // com (2011)
Fun way to say newbie! Great brand for e-learning and online courses.
VapingAssociation // dot // com (2012)
I'm not a smoker, but it's pretty clear Vaping is a huge growth industry fighting an image problem due to its comparison with cigarettes. As such there's a lot of interest and focus on industry image, which is where Vaping Associations will most certainly be spending big advertising and lobbying money.
WTFBox // dot // com (2006)
I absolutely love this domain for a monthly subscription service for fun, weird and interesting things. Essentially a perfect for birthday or holiday gift for people who are usually hard to shop for.
Online/Computer/Support // dot // com (1999)
19 year old domain with 12,000 exact monthly searches times over $7.75 per click = $93,000 monthly search revenue. The monster stats on this one made it a total no brainer as it's also extremely obviously fantastic key words despite it's length.
WagMart // dot // com (2005)
People love their dogs (those of you who follow my daily auction lists often hear me refer to my little Steamie ..
SteamieTheHotDog.com .. lol), and lots of people spend a lot of money on them. It's a huge business, and I love this name for a pet store, both online or traditional!
Pride/Travel/Agency // dot // com (2000)
It takes extra disposable income to travel .. and although technically people in the gay community can adopt children, compared to the hetero population, they have very few children, making them a segment of the population with well above average disposable income .. making this pride travel domain a very smart niche marketing name! An 18 year old domain registered in 2000!
MovieOutpost // dot // com (2010)
Billions and billions of dollars in the movie industry. While sales in DVDs might have gone down, there still is a massive amount of marketing dollars being put in promotions and advertising both for going to see movies in theatres, as well as all the streaming services pouring millions into advertising trying to compete with Netflix!
SpeedCritical // dot // com (2009)
Really like how this one flows off the tongue and also really is an amazing brand for any industry where speed is of importance. Logistics, transportation are deliveries the most obvious. However the name definitely works in many other service sectors as well.
Tetrachrome // dot // com (2009)
Not only does this sound cool, but it's based off of a real word. I googled it before buying and there's actually a few companies in a broad range of industries from oil/gas to tech/communications to a design studio. I really like it when a name is used by multiple companies in a multiple sectors as it not only obviously really increases the chance of sale, but it also pretty much eliminates trademark issues!
LexaCoin // dot // com
Just liked the sound of this one for a coin brand. Short, simple; and Lexa is a cool sexy techy word/name.
