.tv Ebay blast

[smashfactory]

i moved this to its own thread from the kuwaitnews thread-

if people are interested then we can set this all up- i suggested blasting ebay with a bunch of tv names.
now, the actual purpose would be more to spread the tv word, but if a sale happened, awesome

ebay gets a lot of traffic. you never know who your enduser might be. my thoughts are if on a certain day, a large amount of tv names went up for sale, it might have a greater impact than one or two.

it would need to be consistant tho. you dont see mcdonalds rolling out 50 different theme songs at one shot- it would not help to build the brand. the listings would have to be consistant- repetitious.

they would all need to use the gallery image, to make an impact- and we would need to do a write up for the description- and the same write up shows on every listing. after you put the details about your particular name, you pop in this description.

people read over and over and over about .tv and where it is going, and how it fits.

now- there may not be a single sale- and the point is to go into this not exactly expecting one- it is more of a marketing plug. but who knows, someone may make a sale.

ebay is cheap- and this is a real cheap way to reach a whole lotta people, and make a little noise about .tv. so for me to spend 15 bucks on a few listings, to me is not money wasted, if it is done right.

but, 15 listings wouldnt do it- people wouldnt even blink an eye. we need alot of listings for people to look and say, holy crap, what is this all about???? if you cant garner that kind of reaction, then it is a waste of money.
so, this may sound unrealistic, but i am thinking there should be no less han 100 listings hitting all on the same day- i know i would be at least ten of those

100 or more .tv listings, rolling out at once, in mass form. i do think that might get people looking, and reading, at .tv and all it is.

so anyways, thats my idea

Smash, hope all is well in E-bay World!!!

I had 3 E-bay stores.Now down to 2.
the first was an auto parts store.
I came across many deals on some used but mostly new auto parts.
I had a huge account with a Foreign exhaust company.
Problem is most foreign exhaust systems are all one piece.
LOL
Shipping was a Bitc!!
I had most everything freight delivered.
My shipping times got hammered, which in turn...
I got slammed on Feedback ratings.
That store had over 300+ Feedback rating,
but I lost my Power Seller status.
So the $$$ was great, but it wasn't worth the headaches.

I have 2 as of now,
One that is doing nothing is Hot-Assets.
It has a Feedback rating of over 100 I think about 125
and that has a perfect 100% Feedback rating.
I want to develop that one into an exclusive Domain Name Store.
I probably have about 30-40 Domain related Domain names,
but I dont know which one would be best for development.
Of course, I want to list all of my names under that .com
and open the E-bay store with the same name.

Then that leaves #3...
my crazy named store that I had absolutely no faith in.
This was my test site for anything and everything.
This was the store I didn't really care about.
This was the store that I did the absolute best with!!!
LOL
A Bunch Of Shiznit
This store has over 700+ Feedback and a Power Seller rating, also!
Every once in a while I find some Shiznit, cross promote,
email market, and sell my A$$ off!
I dont know how or why...
probably cuz I have the most fun with this one!

Well, Smash you have a killer idea!
I wish I didnt just join NamePros as of 2 days ago, and I could have helped you...further!
Just do me a favor, I'll start a thread, and it'll be all of my Domain names
related to a .com page and an E-bay store, give me your advice on what you would pick, alright???
Thx Alot,
and Good Luck to all!
Red Rock!

Any sales go through from this?

dont ask take ten years at least for dot tv to take hold i have always said this

 

[RogueWriter]

Heh, I'm kind of surprised no one picked up Swords.tv for $199 at the last minute. It had 77 views, but no one snagged it. As for the others, I had some fairly high asking prices, so I'm not surprised that folks would take a bit to stew on.

i purposely set sme of my prices high- i had no intention of selling at ebay cheapo prices- my goal was awareness on this- marketing- if i wanted to sell names on ebay i would have started the reserve at 1.00

i knew i wouldnt sell a name-

I did have one guy interested in 2 of my domains. He was looking for a discount if he won the auctions. I told him that he would have to win them first.....He never made a bid so that was the end of that!!

dont u think names related to the tv Extension will be the ones the man in the street will find more appealing .names with movie films drama.like classicmovies.tv
there was no interest in my names on ebay but i did lern a lot from it.

As did I. I got a lot of interest on taiwanroc.tv(not on ebay views, but the site itself) because I started an email campaign to the taiwan media and other concerns. I did the same for wino.tv(wineries, distributors, etc.) and toychest.tv(toystores, etc.). Noticable jump in viewing website.

Marketing was the key, Smash, am glad we pushed this through.

Did get one question from a potential buyer. Time will tell.
