Hey, domain sellers! 👋

We have a special surprise for you.

Continuing from last year (and last week), we have some exciting updates to share with you about NamePros Parking Landers!

First, consider this:

You price your domain name at $2,500. For years, hundreds of interested buyers want to buy it, but the price is too high for them. They don't even try to contact you because they don't realize that the price is negotiable or may change. Years later, you decide to lower the price to $995. How many previously-interested buyers would buy it at this lowered price? You’d never know — until now!

With our new Buy Now options, you can finally contact those previous buyers to increase your sales opportunities. 💸

Here’s how:

Our landers have an option that requires buyers to confirm their email address before they can see the price. Once confirmed, the price is available to them and their email address is available to you. Simple and effective. Learn more on DNW.com.

Yes, over the past year, we know of several domain sales totaling six figures through a broker who uses our landers. There are probably more sales that we don't know about.

lander is still make offer
Check now. :)

it is unclear to me (as a buyer) that when I enter my info I will see the BIN price.
Waiting for the Buy Now Optimized landing page
The lander is now optimized for Buy Now when parked domains have a price.

Here's the demo:

Cc @pb @Bob Hawkes


The problem I see with the landing page is namepros advertising at the bottom of the page.
Namepros branding is heavy.
could we have a non-branded version
I would be very interested in listing all my names once you Remove NamePros Branding
✅ You can now remove NamePros branding from parked pages under your profile settings.

Enjoy!

@Bravo Mod Team, not sure you spotted it in another post above, but will there be the availability to add a sales pitch to the landing page?

I just threw a few up to see how things operate (very smoothly with rapid verification).

Add:

1) Above the name reads 'Available for sale'. Could it be 'Available for purchase' or 'This domain is for sale'? Sorry, it's been a long day and the grammar part of my brain is not functioning as it should...can't figure out which sounds best. :xf.smile:

2) Not sure if it is active yet but I'm having trouble locating how to set min, etc.

What’s the reason to switch to this landing page instead of using Dan, afternic, sedo or other market places?

This can mean survival or not for a domain investor during a dry spell. This can be a game changer for many (myself included).

Please take a look again at my post above...I was adding an edit when you responded and don't want to clutter thread by posting it again...thanks.

Can ya delete inquiries after testing purposes or should an inquiry not pan out as legit? Not seeing a way to delete them unless I'm missing it?

My biggest dream is to generate enough revenue stream to cover my domain renewals for my entire portfolio. Parking revenue is too low to expect to achieve it and carries risk to high value names. The only answer I feel would work is to offer the prime choice domain that a buyer is seeking with a package deal at an affordable monthly price. Like a business in a box for either a new business or an existing business seeking to rebrand.

I am referring to a great domain with a website and hosting as a base package, with additional optional add-ons available such as logo, email, SEO, etc.

1) That’s a great way to further differentiate between the two landers. Thanks!

2) Coming soon.

If a buyer is not willing to confirm their email address to see the price, then they're not very interested and wouldn't buy regardless.

I don't agree with this.

When I go shopping online I go to a website (so yes, I am serious about buying), place item/s in the cart, and then check shipping costs. If I have to register and/or put my address in FIRST just to getting shipping quote then I just close the tab = NO SALE. Giving my postal/zip code only is fine IF I COULD BE BOTHERED but not the whole lot - email, phone, address, etc.

Every extra step in the path of a sale is just another obstacle for buyers to get through. Why make it harder?

That’s a fair point for commodities.

Our opinion is that each domain is unique and buyers cannot go elsewhere to buy it. If they genuinely want it, a small obstacle like filling out a form should not deter them. There are also lots of temporary email services if they are truly concerned about it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate hearing all perspectives.

Very happy with the page now! I need an option to remove the non-mandatory "Company Name" and "Phone Number" fields from the landing page though.. cleaner the better!

Agree, just remove those optional fields. No one wants inbound calls - no one. And not sure how company name helps. A large org won't include it and a small orgs name makes no diff
