How will you address this client

[cillx]

Hi guys,

I have a client who was contacted by me (outbound). I have done business with him previously and therefore I just offered him S O T E L . C O M.

Then he said that he is working on a project of new luxury hotel chain. According to him project is not lavish style but true genuine luxury. Where all your true needs are covered - hygiene, food, air, water.. 100% green.. etc. for that, they need a new name, to show the difference. He love the name "S O T E L" because it sounds the same as "hotel". But he is thinking about meaning of it, how "SO" could be explained.

Since he had bought hand reg domain from me for 5K without any negotiation i know he is a serious buyer. Any new creative idea how So in S O T E L could be explained? How will you address this situation if he was your client? How to convince him to buy S O T E L ?

Below is Just My opinion and would vary from person to person
Wish You All the Success

I Would Highlight the definition as below and the origin of the name Hotel and your name in comparison of SOTEL commonality where you dropped the H and you have the S "OTEL" is of Key importance

"The normal pronunciation of hotel sounds the h-, However, the older pronunciation without the h- is still occasionally heard,
Origin
Mid 18th century: from French hôtel, from Old French hostel"
I will pm you a link which could be helpful

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but there seem to be a lot of electronics companies using the word s o t e l in their name. This might be your most profitable market for the name.

We have tried them all with no luck

If you can't sell your own domain..

Try to find one to his taste and broker it... IMO

Do you mind sharing the price you are looking to get? On it's own how would you value it, if this client didn't have this project?

Sort of hotel, so tel your friends about sotel. I'd say sotel could be a brand new type of hotels, just elaborate how motel was incorporated as word. I could be wrong but it appears to be it started from mobile hotel, so s could be splendid, smart or even stylish + hotel. Sotel could be a wave of new hotels, who knows! Something just a tad short of super luxurious hotel.

I was going to mention the motel play as well...

Just as a hotel is different than a motel, a sotel can be in a category in itself.

At Sotel - premium amenities is our standard.

I like the sophisticated play as mentioned above. Think SoHo --- So also being an english word is an EASY syllable to remember.

As always great work there! The way just L+otel sounds it instantly makes up in mind for something related to hotel, I think motel plays an important role here as well as we know they're specific types of hotels and basically mean Motor hotels, so you just gotta make up for word S a simple way could be Sauna like hotels with Sauna in it, works for luxury and elegance part as well. Nevertheless it is a great domain and I am quite sure he'll be able to sell it one day or another.

I would go with that!

"So-Tel..... So Much More" You're welcome... I expect payment. =)

 

[maksimfa]

social + hotel

I'm sorry but that is so freaking stupid.

What' does Social have to do with a "luxury" hotel.

Some words just don't belong together. =)

For A hipster hotel? Maybe, but it is a stretch, but not for a luxury project. =)

 

[1Darko]

It's SO much more than all the other hotels!
