Wanted My new service

[tomalley]

I hope everyone's weekend is going well so far. I'm actually pretty nervous to post this link today, because it's a passion project almost a year in the making. I would say the site about 90% there - but I could really use some feedback from my NamePros fam...

Blipbrands
The premise is simple: two domains, in your inbox⁠—every day at ridiculously undervalued prices. We're not talking groundbreaking one-word names here, but easily brandable hand registrations that will be a fantastic starting point for any entrepreneur or easy flip for any investor. Usually well under $200 each. I've seen a few of my comrades launch similar services with great success and (frankly) my names are better. So take a look and let me know what you think. Constructive feedback welcome!

PS: Happy to return the favor if ya'll need feedback or user testing on any of your projects

Make sure your VerticalFold pages are ready (content, contact us, etc asap) - A Vertical Fold Project link is both important and relevant to y visitors (credit link is similar to a letter of verification / trust / veritas). Regards

Looks nice, very professional looking,!

The only thing that caught my eye was 1. up top, instead of "Domains" you may want to spell it out Domain Names, just to avoid any language or semantics concerns. You never know who will find you site - hahah.

2. stick the dot whatever it is on the names listed..com, net whatever.

But really looks good and really doesn't need any changes - just passing on my thoughts, take with a grain.

Thanks.

Your idea and the concept are viable. I just visited your website. Let us see how things goes on, as the success mostly depends upon its promotion. Congratulations.

Hey Samer, that is a selling point my wife keeps pushing us to commit to. Do you think we should continue offering logo ideas? What about logo design / refinement after the sale? For a $100 domain, that could really cut into our margins if you factor in labor... thoughts anyone?

Both really valid points and (luckily) easy fixes on my end. Thank you!!

My friend your wife knows something about domaining— keep heeding her opinions.

That’s all brandbucket has. the only thing makes them “special” enough to pay thousands of dollars, 30% com and market exclusivity. Your designs are amazing, hide that ‘secret sauce’!

 

[tomalley]

@Samer ya know what? You (and my wife) are absolutely right. Thank YOU!

Really appreciate it, @Shaan Chopra !

Curious .. your pricing model means you'll have to get significant volume (well over 5-10% sell-through rate) just to break even.

Is your target audience end-users or domainers? Because I think the whole point of end-users is that they don't want to check lists daily, if they did, they would be domainers.

So your prices seem too low if you're targeting end-users, and too high based on the quality of domain for domainers who need to get high sales multiples themselves.

That being said .. I'm definitely not saying it won't work .. actually pretty curious because if you do get it to work that could be a decent model.

However, at those price-points you might be better off simply putting them at auction at NameJet starting at $69 or $79. Although I'm not sure how many would sell.

I think the problem you'll likely run into with your current set up is finding the volume you'll need to support your prices.

I definitely wish you luck, because if you do succeed in getting the high volume you'll need, then it's a new pricing model/strategy we'll all need to consider!

ADDED: Oh yeah .. the site itself looks great btw!

WOW, first of all, thank you for the straightforward feedback. It hits real close to home. This has been my internal struggle since day one: is Blipbrands for entrepreneurs or domain investors? If it's for entrepreneurs, I should probably skip the daily mailing list, raise my prices to BrandBucket caliber, and hope to get a couple sales per month (is BB even having success?). If it's for investors, I'm happy to be known as the bargain basement for quality domain names, but I don't see how I could possibly go lower than $60-ish per name... Any further insight on this very important piece of my puzzle?

I liked the site but failed to understand what is this all about...

if Ategy thought good enough charge either
to target either demographic that means the advantage is lower pricing, since smarter entrepreneurs “end users” rather pay less.

i would experiment with both; look at the advertising of “KillerLaunch” the “BB killer” they’re trash, they charge monthly fees 2 list (dont know whether or not you entertain list, consider it in the future, if biz grows enough)

You should advertise “brandbucket but thousand dollars less” i honestly see quality comparable (especially logo incorporation)

Consider copying this site’s formula for
side by side comp but say $249.99 max)

I think you can target end users for $249.
but what do i know? this business saturated and growing by the day. Study all of them. Learn from them. hear “DomainHero.com?)
you dont need list others’ names for side by side, if good inventory, logo etc. Why better? logos included all purchase thousands less!
