BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

Good luck to you. just remember, the program/store is not shutting down.

Yes the BB program continues, however I am shutting down my program of using BB as a marketing tool.

I was great to have a well thought out and reasoned question and response with you. I wish you great success!

 

[NamesMax]

BTW I just had someone offer me $2,000 for all 300 names. That works out to $6.66 per name. That was hilarious. I guess I needed that laugh.

@NamesMax, I appreciate your open and honest assessment of your situation. I'm sorry to hear that your sales at BB have been so disappointing. I hope things pick up for you as you move on to other platforms and/or sales strategies. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, either now or in the future.

Best,

Keith

I noticed that the number of published domains over their rolling 7 day tracker is way down. It used to be close to 300 per 7 days. Right now:

Published Last 7 Days: 134

Either they are becoming more choosey or they are slowing down on their reviewing.

They are really slow on reviews. I have names submitted as far back as July 17 that are still pending review. They knocked out all of our approved names relatively quickly over the last couple of weeks though. Could be intentional to devote resources to getting approved names listed.

July 16th here and I'm almost fed up. I now go with my new domains to Brandpa instead of BrandBucket. For the time being, I will keep my 200+ portfolio with them intact. But if they don't sort their sh*te out soon enough, I sure will be considering my options.

 

[Eckhart]

Yes, veri slow. Let mov to brunpa, it bettar.

 

[frank-germany]

What I really dislike is the fact that I have an account in "bad standing"
as I decided to take the domains out of BB

and show them on my own Landing Page instead

.. after the 1 month holding period-
that shouldn't be a problem at all...

 

[Keith DeBoer]

I understand everyone's frustration with the long delays in name reviewing. This delay is responsible for the low number of domains being published on the site. According to BB the problem stems from summer vacations and staff changes. They say it is taking time to train new members of the review team.

Like the rest of you, I hope it will be resolved soon

 

[NYJimbo]

SEVENTEEN F-CKING DAYS waiting, only to be rejected.

I don't mind being rejected, but it should not take SEVENTEEN DAYS to tell me.

Never gonna waste time with BB again.

There is NO lame excuse for this like "It's summer" or "We're training people" that is acceptable.

That's really frustrating. Wish you Good luck with your features brandable marketplace.

10 of 15 rejected.

Hoping (anticipating) the remaining 5 will be accepted on the 2nd pass.

Review window was 07/22 thru 07/29 for us.

 

[Furquan]

10 of 15 rejected.

Hoping (anticipating) the remaining 5 will be accepted on the 2nd pass.

Just now got 1 rejected out off 9 submitted name. I hope all other get accepted.

 

[Finest]

16 rejections but luckily most of them are unregistered.

 

[Embrand]

Yes, this is getting frustrating. Far too long to wait.

I would also like for BrandBucket to clarify their strategy. Where are we heading?

 

[BRANDERX]

The one, domain.com took away after having purchased it at GD closeouts, got rejected.

1 unregistered got rejected.

2 still pending review.

pending review since July 20th & 26th..

feeling good about BB..

 

[DomainsMaven]

I just losing hope with brandbucket. After have 800+ domains and i don't see any progress.

I think i will be better off selling them my own. Brandbucket just have too many crappy names. Here are few,

generiic.com
permiit.com
fiighter.com
quiiver.com
tactiical.com
radiical.com
kindlyy.com
gladlyy.com
cyyclone.com
siimulator.com

They should have focused on quality then quantity. These domains will be impossible to sell other than selling them on namepros.

I agree some domains may not look brandable to us. But I have also noticed that startups these day pick unusual brandable names which may no look good to us at all on first impression.

I am not defending BB but it is just my own observation that startups these days love to pick strange and unconventional names.

 

[Keith DeBoer]

Every brandable marketplace has been criticized by domainers on NP for having low quality names. It may be true. Or maybe not. It's really hard to say because brandable domains are so subjective. We've all had the experience of a domain being rejected by one site and being accepted by another. I've sold several BB rejects to end users. I know others have too.

Likewise enduser habits are unpredictable and have been criticized for their naming tastes (or lack thereof). Brand consultants hate the choices many startup founders make for a brand/domain name.

Lyft, Stripe, Facebook, Pinterest, InstaCart, CreditKarma, Quora, Reddit are all amazing brands that are memorable and succinctly convey the company's message. But a car service called Uber? An apartment sharing platform called AirBnB? A unicorn level fintech company called Kabbage? Another unicorn and 3D printing company called Desktop Metal?

Personally I think the name Amazon is/was a horrible choice as a brand for an eCommerce site. But some companies become a mega success in spite of their stupid naming choices

BTW ........... here's some double "i" letter listings from a BB competitors website:
Desiire, Enviiro, Kiings, Indiie, Hugii, Quiik, Triive, Ziipy, Qiirk, Sumiit, Haawaii, Eiight, Fiiber, Sumiit, Premiier, Inspiiration, Whiisk, Goriilla, Fiigure, Traiin and Piinky. Some of them I like, others are head scratchers.

And from the home page of another BB competitor's site:
Walrs, Stackrr, Officair, Eshopo, Blipser, Whoal - these domains are priced between $2,800 and $6,200.

It's a crazy domain marketing niche we play in
