I have already switched back to the 12 installments (no lease) with Make Offer!

This way I can still have BIN and / Make Offer on my landers!

I don't trust buyers paying more than a year while "RENTING".( I'm not in this to rent names) They may simply back out, decide it's not worth it, Plus on a xx,xxx name( this added interest is Not pleasing)

Also I I have realized one other "hurdle" of why my offers have slowed since using 80% dan landers......The buyer HAS to Stop and Make an Account first to send one! Where as on my efty landers....it was a painless fill out your name, email, offer and message and hit send BOOM done, contact with seller, and INFO!

Going to stick with it a lil awhile more, but feel I'm going to start moving some of my landers here shortly.

I agree the "boxes" are un-needed, where some things should take priority others are instead, just the simple fact to have that over a "contact this seller" button is a simple example.

I test about half of my domains on my own Lander
as I'm not convinced that the DAN versus undeveloped
was a great move

and nobody cares to reply to my request
to have my old undeveloped lander back

Hey guys @Dan I believe you tested thoroughly
but did you do it for .de domains? and german markets?
does any of your online support guys speak german?

I have decades experience with A/B testing

but I can't test anything with DAN

 

[Nikhil Jain]

buyer HAS to Stop and Make an Account first

Not sure if there is some confusion? I tested one other domain by making an offer using a new email, just to see if DAN prompts me to create an account. Expectedly, they did not. They simply mailed me a confirmation email and done.

we don't get your email, Dan does!

If you don't relay, no chat,Dan relys

Does'not work that way

Your "offer" still goes through "dan" and your new "email" needs to be confirmed by Dan.

It is not Email to Email like a efty lander

No Confusion here.

 

[alcy]

as everyone can see by countess confusions, questions and comments here now... i believe dan has become complicated for nothing. yes I am a lover of simplicity... and efficiency in all regards of life... but one does not need to be that to realize that these new moves are causing more confusion and chaos than imo positive things.

plz mr Dan... keep things simple.. strive for even more simplicity in future... and concentrate all your efforts (or almost) toward exposure of our listings on your marketplace... and an easy lander for buyers and sellers... this is what makes money in the end! for us... and for you! thanks!

I still don't get your point. This process has always been there with DAN even earlier. Nothing new.

Below is the email once the email verification link is clicked, seller received the offer on the domain, and buyer receives the below email. Thanks.

There is something that I suspect causes many to abandon the making offer form: you need to enter you phone number, many ppl do not like to share their phone number and consider it private thing.

Phone number is usually only asked at checkout when you enter payment method details, I dont think it is wise to put it in inquiry form.

If your a company, making a purchase......your going to leave a #

Im not worried about mom and pop shops down the corner

It is not about companies vs individuals. My point is that: You ask for phone number at the right place and time (ex: checkout) not in landing page.

OMG


MY point was.....on a EFTY /bodis lander........I can receive a email and commnicate with a Buyer, just by them landing on my page, filling out and hit send! BOOM

1,2,3

Offer VIA DAN...( you will not know who the buyers is but you as in your IMAGE have to communicate THROUGH DANS PANEL)

What is so hard to understand?

you fill out my efty page, I can reply to your Personal Email and have your INFO

IF you send me a offer THROUGH DAN


Even IF I REPLY....& IF YOU Do not respond THROUGH DAN............I will NOT HERE BACK from you!

Go back to Business 101

 

[Nikhil Jain]

Even IF I REPLY....IF YOU Dont respond TRHOUGH DAN............I will NOT HERE BACK from you!

My point is simple. That these processes and method of communication have always been this way with Efty and DAN/Undeveloped respectively. Nothing new in there is all I am saying. This is not something that has happened with DAN today. It was always in place.

Correct! If you go BACK to my first post

All I said is that I REALIZED as far as MAKE OFFERS go...that "what is already in place" is another "HURRDLE" as oppose to Make Offer via private lander.

once again, I'm not the one confused.

I simply made an Observation

Good point. I agree with you. There should be minimal friction to get a lead from prospective buyers. Or at least DAN could make this an option in the settings (require phone # yes/no).

Also the pop-up buyer sees when submitting offer is "My offer is legally binding and I accept the terms of use". This is another a lead killer. This message should be shown to the prospective buyer after the sale price has been negotiated with the domain owner.

 

[Maxxo]

Feature suggestion for DAN options/settings > for sale landing page - have an option to change the color/theme of landing pages in bulk so sellers don't have to do this manually one at a time.

 

[frank-germany]

Whats the diff between Und & Dan? I dont get it

undeveloped:

left hand input box
asking for
My offer for this domain is:
( great text )

NO DAN all over
( aka no undeveloped all over )

DAN:

dan all over
input box right hand

a lot of stuff in the middle

text in image
the domain xxx is for sale

for some domains its better not tell people its for sale

 

[DNGear]

Could we get leads if they weren't confirmed their email?(like efty, uniregistry)

[main]

How do I disable the "DAN.COM Domain Expert at your service" box?

This is creating friction for sellers that don't redirect their buyers DAN's internal sales pages and don't have a chat widget.

Buyers that read someone is "at their service" have an expectation they can easily reach the broker, but there is no easy way to contact them. It is removing the impulse buy. Please allow ability to disable this.

I prefer the previous site design.

Asking for phone number on inquiry form is a big mistake. It's too early for that but OK on checkout after price is accepted of course. Many buyers will give a fake number or worse yet abandon the inquiry form never to be heard from again.
