sales "Domain Advertising"

[ThatNameGuy]

Ever since I arrived at NP and on the domain scene three years ago I just knew there had to be a better way to buy and sell domains.To sell pretty much anything in life you have to advertise whether it's cars, boats, clothes, homes, mortgages, tools, or even food.

I never once bought into the theory if you buy it, then list it with one of dozens of brokers like Afternic at Go Daddy, with Sedo, Huge Domains, Uniregistry, Dan, Sav, Domain Market, etc. they'll come. I actual thought the business model for the domain industry was a joke, and as it turns out most of my business peers who aren't familiar with the industry think it's a joke as well.....i'm sorry if that offends anyone reading this, but it's the honest truth.

I've recently partnered with an ad agency whose understanding of the domain industry parallels mine. I've shared with them the hit piece by Jeanne McPhearson that Verisign did on the secondary market a few years ago, and I also shared why I believe Verisign who has the exclusive distribution rights to the .com extension shut off further comments.......and for those of you who are familiar with what I'm referring to, it's obviously a "Catch 22", and to share some irony, the grand daughter of the author Joseph Heller of Catch -22 actually works for the ad agency that's partnering with me.

Finally, for discussion purposes, have any of you worked with an ad agency to help promote your domains? If so, please share your experience as to why or why it didn't work. Thanks

It's worth thinking about it ,thanks for the article

So far, I haven't spent any money specifically for domain names, except for domain landers such as nkwp.com

Oh, and you might want to check your math on the bolded part.

Yeah, something sounds off there. I am not a mathematician but wouldn't the actual math be -
"100% of registered .com's are NOT AVAILABE to register"

Moi!...It's actually more than that. Here are two where I haven't bought the alternative YET, but I would suggest you check out the .com to see where they lead you.

SunBathing.com
Suntan.com

can you believe neither of these domains leads to a website, but having registered 1,503 equivalents in another extension, I know first hand You can play the semantics game until the cows come home, but very few good .coms are available to register at any price.....FACT!

I also can't buy a Michael Jordan rookie card for $5 or a NYC brownstone for $50K. You must be equally infuriated by that as you are by not being able to hand register premium .com names.

At least when it comes to .com domains, you can still register perfectly usable names for $10. Startups do it all the time, and even build multi-million dollar businesses on them.

Bummer thread could have gone a different way as most clicking were here to read about the advertising industry.

Lol, 'domainer' is just another label for people 'collecting' domains for monetary gain. Nothing wrong with the label although I'm not a domainer first. What's your issue with domainers Rich? By definition you would fall into the category.

an "end user" doesn't care about a domainers credentials

I agree on that. Till you want to take it to the next level. For example, you know Kate. Credentials help at some point.

he/she only care if they like the name, it's easy to pronounce and it's affordable. It doesn't get any more complicated than that Dirk

Wrong. So wrong.

Now look at that... they do own the online, some defensive regs. As a 'domainer' you should ask yourself, what are the odds they will pay a premium number for a random TLD? Also, if you don't tread carefully it would be considered cybersquatting.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I also can't buy a Michael Jordan rookie card for $5 or a NYC brownstone for $50K. You must be equally infuriated by that as you are by not being able to hand register premium .com names.

Oh Joe....where have you been I have plenty of those too. Do you just make this stuff up on a whim?

Now look at that... they do own the online, some defensive regs. As a 'domainer' you should ask yourself, what are the odds they will pay a premium number for a random TLD? Also, if you don't tread carefully it would be considered cybersquatting.

Bummer thread could have gone a different way as most clicking were here to read about the advertising industry.

Lock...not my fault brother. There are plenty naysayers here that don't want this to succeed. However naysayers make my day

i don't know whether you noticed this, but our plans are to form a "users group" of businesses/consumers that part of their initial purchase and a percentage of their annual registration fee will go to support nTLD that's part of the domain. In addition, much of our advertising dollars will target the .com as a dying breed that's not available anyway, and there are several viable solutions.

I started this thread asking if any other domainers are or have used any form of advertising to promote/sell their domains. I can only speak from my past business experience about advertising which if you understand the definition of "advertising" it overlaps "marketing"

To start us off on a better foot here is what Wiki says about advertising;

Advertising
"Form of communication for marketing, typically paid for.

Advertising is a marketing communication that employs sponsored non-personal messaging to promote or sell a service or idea. Sponsors of advertising are typically businesses wishing to promote their products or services.

I think we can all agree that "advertising" is all over the this very page we're posting on. Dynadot advertises here, Escow.com advertises here and so does Nameworth. This advertising is "targeted" to those in the domain industry....that would buy their products or services. Even the registrar that sponsors .TO advertises here....just go to Register.TO to see what I mean.

Owning over 1,500 domains of a particular extension I'm giving some serious thought to advertising/showcasing my portfolio right here on NP with a personal message from me. How does that sound? Good idea or bad idea? I could even be getting exposure for your domains with a "matching" extension.

Lock, again I apologize for allowing this thread to deteriorate like this. Now that we're back on track any comments?

 

[ThatNameGuy]

"Endangered"....how and to whom would you advertise it? Any thoughts?

That's actually a good idea. But do keep in mind that people watching will primarily be resellers.

Make it coincide with a promo ran by the registry and/or registrars to lift along on the hype and get more eyes on the prize.

Put in some effort to get your portfolio website ranked and advertised on search engines. People searching for domains and a specific TLD will eventually be targeted with your ads when done right.

It takes some work to pull it off but I think it can be done with the right amount of time and work put into it.

Will be it profitable? Who knows. You seem to have plenty of spare time so it beats doing nothing and letting them drop after a year.

 

[Mike Goodman]

Most people in every industry will fail and be bitter. Show me an industry that does not have someone rant against it because they have not been doing well.

I agree with the sentiment, @AEProgram, but I'd restrict it to most sales people in any industry. It really is the hardest skill to try to recruit for. Quite often the most unlikely candidates succeed whilst the streets are full of those with "obvious" potential, failed and knocking on doors to find yet another sales job.

The same goes for business startup owners. Sadly too many domainers (among lots of other failed startups) are already looking for the "next big idea" they can still afford to get into and there are many more who will inevitably follow.

In spite of all the efforts at sharing knowledge, coaching and teaching such as Cyger's and more, nobody knows, not even the most experienced in any line of business, what that little touch of magic, that tiny spark of difference, is that leads to success. Perhaps because it is some factor within, or even missing from, individuals that we haven't even recognised yet that makes the difference?

Thanks Dirk...i just emailed the registry to see if they will support or even help pay for the advertising. After all, we're already partners in theory, or is that reality

I got a good laugh from this thread from the logic of @ThatNameGuy and his lawsuit: "First, i'm in the process of filing a law suit against the largest registrar in the world (Go Daddy)" to @Peak.Domains and his fairy tale about his uncle who told him to buy .online domains at any cost.

So thanks for the laughs, guys.

. After all, we're already partners in theory, or is that reality

Depends. Some seem to be in direct competition. Most registries are looking to get a bigger piece of the pie themselves, hence premium registrations.

It's just business. They don't care one thing about domains, the internet, not like they did when the gTLDs came into fruition. For most, if not all, it's just an investment opportunity.

Same could be said about legacy gTLDs to some extent. Recall past years attempt to take over the .org TLD by Ethos? It's money that makes the web go round.

Gosh, at least someone read it.

 

[Joe N]

Oh Joe....where have you been I have plenty of those too. Do you just make this stuff up on a whim?

Classic avoidance.

Rich, you're a businessman who doesn't get the concept of an open market. You disapprove of passive domain sales, yet those are the only domain sales you've made. You complain of being a victim of cancel culture, and then report members who express their opinions about topics you raised.

The irony is so thick you must be swimming in it.
