I believe I've read somewhere that a member was looking to promote and try to sell names from a booth or something at golf tournaments and such.
Curious how that worked out.
@ThatNameGuy care to share?

NameSplice...glad you asked. I'd planned to have a booth at the worlds largest amateur handicap golf tournament in Myrtle Beach, SC last August, but it turned out my nephew was getting married that week, and Donuts (the registry for
.Golf) was transitioning, and couldn't co-sponsor/partner with me. A good friend played in the tournament and said I really should have been there
I even planned to have a LPGA pro and another golf pro work the booth with me, and a representative from Donuts. I do plan on going this year for the 36th annual tournament where over 3.000 male and female golfers from around the world will be there. I also looked at it as an opportunity to introduce the domain industry, not only to golfers but bankers, lawyers, doctors, business owners, teachers etc.that play in the tournament.
I also intend to display "industry specific" domains at trade shows in the homes, realty and mortgage industry where I own a couple hundred domains that relate to those industries. A registry in my hometown owns Homes(.)com and the new gTLD
.homes. Originally I was hoping to work with them to help promote domains in general, but it appears now they're going to want to work with me
Finally, i'd like to create a briefcase domain display where a domain agent, like a real estate agent, can sell domains on a street corner in Manhattan
I've actually created a .com domain that's perfect for selling domain displays. It would be perfect to take it to meet-ups, Chamber of Commerce meetings, colleges, or even Startup incubators.
While it would be nice to sell domains on the spot, at least enough to cover expenses, the real value will come from the contacts and interest we're able to generate for the domain industry
