so the question was.
Anyone ever try a using a fake company intro to sell a domain?
let me explain. No. I'm not talking about those spammy Chinese or India offshore services trying to sell you close to expiring domains.
I'm talking about your own outgoing emails to endusers.
hear me out. I was thinking what if instead of sending out email after email of abcde.com for sale and saying how great it is. why not give the potential enduser a "real world" example for your domain?
Nothing (I think) is better than showing them the "intro" for a domain to be used by a company.
I'm sure you've all seen the intro's of companies using their domains.
for example say like Chicken.com
"At Chicken.com we serve only thee best Organic Free Range Chicken on the planet! Our Chickens are happy Chickens. We feed them nothing but the best organic feeds with no pestisides. No expense was spared to provide you thee best Chicken in the world! We can ship our Chicken right to your door in vacuum sealed packaging. We can also season our chicken with one of our 12 proprietary blends of herbs and spices. Live life healthier and free of GMO's. At Chicken.com you know the peace of mind knowing you are eating the Best Chicken money can buy. Healthy = Long Live. You can live a little? or you can Life longer! Your Choice really! Want the best for your family? Then buy Chicken from Chicken.com! You'll be glad you did!"
cmon! if you gave some Chicken company that pitch?
what do you think? is it a stupid idea? or what?
The intro above could in "theory" be tweaked to use for pretty much any domain. At the very least it won't be the typical domain sales email I usually get.
like " blahblahblah.com is for sale. $50K or best offer. Thanks."
sounds so impersonal and robotic. comes off spammy right off the bat.
sure it's easy and efficient because it's generic. just send it out with no name of the person you are emailing it to (in most cases) and see who bites.
most companies (I'm guessing) want real world applications for the domain you are trying to sell them. and what's better than a company intro for the domain?
besides most endusers think we just pulled these domains out of thin air and that they could have come up with it themselves and therefore you don't deserve to get whatever price you are asking for it. ( but I bet you they are kicking themselves for not thinking it faster than you did!)
Opinions wanted. Thanks.
