.tv Help with potential .tv end user

[nicedomains]

I've been sending out a few end user emails for a one word .tv I wish to liquidate and yesterday I received a prompt response. Basically I believe this end user may be interested in the domain but he is not sold on why a .tv web address is important for the future of his business online. Below is our correspondence minus sensitive info for obvious reasons. Now, of course I am trying to pump the extension because for one I do believe in it and two I want him to buy the name.. any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks in advance.

Hi xxxxxx,

I have a great domain name that you may be interested in. xxxxx.tv is for sale for only $xxxx USD.

In case you are not familiar with .tv, it is the most popular up and coming domain extension. One word .tv domains are highly coveted and are being developed more and more often by end users. Here just a couple examples of .tv sites or domains that redirect to major sites: Altitude.tv, Herbs.tv, Justin.tv, MMA.tv, Eyes.tv, Sports.tv, Chrome.tv, Deals.tv, CarWash.tv, the list goes on and on... If you wish to acquire xxxxx.tv please call or email me. Thanks for your time.

Best Regards,

Mike

His first response

What is the benefit of having .tv instead of .com ?

My answer

xxxxxxx,

Thanks for the response. Do you have xxxxx.com? If not, owning that domain would be impossible to maybe costing $xxx,xxx. I am not recommending rebranding your complete site to .tv. For now maybe it's best to redirect visitors to xxxxxxxxxxx.com. Benefits of owning a one word .tv are in the keyword value, possibility of capturing leads thru traffic, ability to utilize a one word domain in a marketing campaign/promo down the road. There are so many more benefits to list, I have been dabbling in the .tv domain market for only a short time and it has been my most active as far as sales, even more than .com! Internet TV/video integration is completely inevitable which is why investors and smart business owners are securing .tv domains for their future web presence now.

I hope this is making some sense, please don't hesitate to ask any further questions.

Mike

He then asks..

How would the internet TV/video integration effect a web address?

Now, how do I respond??! :lol:

Even if this guy is just running me through a spinning wheel for fun and doesn't intend to buy the domain I still may learn something here... thanks in advance for your comments and input!

Tv is commonly recognised worldwide in relation to television/visual picture content.

As more and more of the bigger internet websites begin to realise that users are more interested in seeing rather than reading they are beginning to integrate more and more videos for a full visual experience by the user.

It is natural internet evolution that video content fits pefectly when aligned with a dot TV domain as users will know what they are getting....A visual experience!!

I think the answer lies within... If tv/video integration is inevitable than why wouldn't the popularity of generic .TV domains also be inevitable? .TV has already come to the forefront of web tv and URL coalesence, it has been established and branded as the 'visual' extension of Internet.

... just thinking out loud here, feel free to add your two cents :gl:

Tell him that video very friendly to any western market .
Also tell him that .tv enables him not only to own a great keyword domain but promote it with success because .tv is different than having a .net or .org and loosing traffic over to the .com.
Anyone will remember to visit a website called xxxxx.tv and more specially younger people that love tv in general.
Plus .tv is universal so can attract people from all around the world.

Thats some basic data, you can edit my words, add and multiply and then remove unnecessary data.(thats a trick I did when I wrote my essays :D)

Here's your answer: .TV - "Future Ad Copy For Smart TV"


Merging the TV and Web (Smart TV) into one seamless experience has been the goal of some of the biggest manufacturers including Sony Samsung, Intel and others. And as you know, the TV market is one of the largest and fastest growing industries on the market today with over $70 billion in gross revenue.

An example of this is Google's Smart TV (Internet TV Browser) which will offer a true and seamless web browsing experience, just as if you were sitting at your PC. This platform is designed to cater to... You guessed it "TV viewers". In this instance, .TV would be an appropriate TLD to use in advertising across Smart TV platforms.

See for yourself: SmartTV

What's the name of the domain? We're always on the lookout for new strong one-word .tv domains that we can develop.

 

[Jason.tv]

perhaps the enduser is trying to act stupid in order for you to lower the price of the domain.

thanks,

Jason

Your first email is difficult to read (I mean to eye scan). I would make the domains into an unordered list. I would also make the urls clickable by adding www.:

Great domain ND! It's not exactly what we're looking for but good luck with the negotiation and don't let it go too easily
