Received an email before few minutes and it stated the following.
"
We're very excited to announce the upcoming launch of our new partner Brand New Name.

Brought to you by the people behind BrandBucket, Brand New Name is a crowdsourcing platform focused entirely on the initial branding needs of a new bootstrapped business: a startup name, tagline and logo.

By engaging a global creative community, Brand New Name can help the bootstrapped startups of today become the brands of tomorrow.



How Does It Work?
  1. Entrepreneurs ignite a contest outlining their logo design and/or name/tagline needs in a detailed brief.
  2. The community of creative logo designers and naming gurus suggest concepts in hopes to wow them.
  3. Entrepreneurs pick a winning concept and an award is paid to the winning creative.

An Exclusive Invitation
Brand New Name is launching soon, and they're looking for creative logo designers and naming gurus. Since they are promoting quality over quantity, all new applicants must pass a design test and portfolio review. However, active logo designers on BrandBucket can bypass those requirements and go straight to designing!

A creative within the Brand New Name platform can either be a logo designer, naming guru or both. As a logo designer you'll be able to join and participate in logo design contests with a cash prize of $150 per contest. That's a good chunk of change! "



Not sure if everyone got the invitation part as I am a designer there. This service is very similar to SquadHelp I think though it is not clear if creatives can list any names. I just signed up and I dont see any option at the control panel to do this. So I think, this service is basically intended to counter Squad Help and provide another alternative. I have plans to start something like this and even got a name, but BrandBucket beat me to it at the moment.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Where did you get that info from? if that was your own experience then you can't generalize.
Go to the SH page and see. When many premium domains are submitted to contests, most receive low rating just because of the price. Most look for unregistered names, it is not just my experience and many others share and see that.

I meant how did you know that buyers only buy in installments and that there are no big spenders? I saw some big sales on their featured sales list, some over $70k and I remember there was a sale over $100k.

I was expecting you would quote those sales. How many? 2, 3? One word English names? No surprise there actually. I see sellers here posting they sold a name for 6 , 12 , months installments etc, when in fact it most of the time costs less thank 2K or just prices. Other sales happen of course, outright sales in the same prices, but I have seen a lot of installments. So this tells you the buyers of SH and their preferences.

You can disable installments.. if the buyer really wants the name he will buy in cash, as you said $2k price is affordable and I dont think installments will affect the buyer decision to buy or not, if it is $100k price then installments will definitely help big time.

Yes it is affordable, however, it goes to show what the buyers want to offer. Looking at their recent sales, you can see the names which got sold with installments and which where sold outright.

Some of the designers at Squadhelp are really great. Underpaid, but great.

Not a fan of the name, either. Then again, I think 'Squad Help' is ass-backwards, and not much better the other way around.

Back in 2013, I set-up a site and pitched the ideal of a domain, logo and video service for startups,
called Startupurl.com -- got no traction. Not even a pitch reply from a Startup Domain Fest.

Glad to see the market blossoming, though these models are not for me. But you can't close a Squad Help account once opened. So I'm chained to the squad... like a slave chain gang they can work to profit from its 'member base'. Of course that violates the law, and the dignity of a 'domainer' -which is sadly ironic.

Andreas: Now, we do it all the time, but everyone in marketing has said, “Someone needs to write a book about this.” Jeremy Miller has written a brand new book called “Brand New Name: A Proven, Step-by-Step Process to Create an Unforgettable Brand Name.” The book codifies the brand naming process and guides you on ways to think about a name. There are abstract names, concrete names, acronyms, and more. Jeremy Miller’s approach to naming a brand has a lot in common with how we think about and develop and execute naming strategies for our own clients at Graphos Product. So it was a pleasure to just drop the list of questions, and talk shop about a really critical first step for a new business or product.

A Marketplace with so many brandables, and they choose that second class, put you to sleep name for a brand. But with money/marketing; i guess you can turn trash to gold.
