.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

 

[freedom30]

I can pitch up 10 names as well.

 

[Disintegration]

Happy new years all! I'd like to help get the word out, 5 for me.

 

[RPK]

[smashfactory]

dottie- 10
rouge - 10
bulldog - 5
millers - 10
len - 10
filter - 1
searching - 10
disintergration - 5
freedom - 10

ok- doin good!

for those listed above, please let me know, here or pm-

> if you are listing it or you want me to bulk list it under my ebay account

> if you are going under my ebay account, which is fine, then you will need to start to get together your list-
* domain name
* start price (if you do a low start and a reserve, that is fine, but the reserve costs- just let me know)
* your description for each name (dont forget things like google results and overture if the numbers rock- really sell your name!)


any more takers? just need a few more- thanks!

i adjusted the .tv description a bit with the numbers equity posted- if anyone has anything to add let me know! do NOT forget- if you are listing a premium, please say so

[RogueWriter]

Will these be listed in the 'domain names - other' category, then?

 

[smashfactory]

yepper- but i think what i am gonna do is also list a few of my tv.com names in the com area, modify the description a bit, and point them also to the .tv wave that was listed

 

[hullswingerscom]

5 for me
i can list in my own ebay..as my paypal will not work to pay you

 

[smashfactory]

gotcha hulls!

 

[Broker]

I would put all these .tv domains in the .com area are you kidding me :imho:

When are we doing this?

 

[freedom30]

Smash,

I will put mine in my account as well. I need time to write the descriptions of the names.

We need a marketing plan besides putting the names on ebay, something of a bang like was mentioned before like leaking our activity on some trade rag like dnj(thinking of the book I'm reading now with the decision Gardenburger made and how they profitted from it. Of course we are so much smaller but we could create a pop or two, believe me.). That would be nice.

When doth it commence. We have time to do it right, so let's not stop the ideas.

Smash, I did a rewrite of the .tv push letter for my entries, enclosed below.

Nice one freedom30.....Especially the tag line at the end!

 

[WolfMother]

I'll do it. Please PM me when you are going to list Smash.

 

[smashfactory]

I would put all these .tv domains in the .com area are you kidding me :imho:

When are we doing this?

really? cant we get in trouble for that?

 

[freedom30]

really? cant we get in trouble for that?

I doubt that we would get in trouble but we would be defeating our own purpose. We ARE .tv and we need to establish that fact by the procedures we are setting forth. Climbing or raiding onto .com will only verify what everyone knows, that .com is the dominant extension. We aren't disputing that, we are a seperate entity, a branching off and climbing UP the technological evolutionary ladder, so to speak.

We should be quite able stay our ground and make it be known that WE ARE THE FUTURE PRESENT of the Internet and beyond in terms of interactive and visual media.

In essence, we don't need .com to springboard us if we know how to market ourselves. It's going to happen and we are going to be there to see it through.

However...If one or two .tv domain names should happen to fall through the cracks and find their way to a .com accidently, that would not be the end of the world either.

i like your tagline and the few changes you made freedom- looks likes a winning effort!

i would like to do this after jan. 10th- after the domaintools auction, but before the 17th, before the great domains auction- sheesh- is that right?

if we do it for 7 days, we pick the day we want the auctions to end on, and basic time, then take it from there- in doing a little research it seems we should have the auctions end around 10pm eastern time on a sunday night

some stats-
between nov. 30 and dec 29th-

140 domains sold via auction- 8 via store
192 were listed for 3 days, 545 were for 7 days, and 100 were for 10 days
51 sold on saturday, 38 on friday and 32 on sunday (guess we need to move to a sat night end)
most domains sold between 7-9pm

 

[freedom30]

It's a start.

Decide on a definite date and time and it's a go for me.

 

[smashfactory]

ok then how about- 7 day run- start on 19th, end on the 26th- does those dates sound ok to everyone? does it conflict with anything?

this will give me time to set up

sounds good to me.

 

[TheBulldog]

In as well. You can list mine if you want to.

 

[mwzd]

Till there is a separate .tv category at ebay, you'll be better suited in listing under .com, thats where the eyeballs are.

And Let me know the date, I'll list two too...just for moral support.

Good Luck
