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.

Now, let’s talk new features!​

    • Escrow.com (Recommended): Starts an Escrow.com transaction for you and allows the buyer to pay immediately.
    • PayPal: Creates a PayPal transaction for the buyer to pay directly to your PayPal account.
    • Email: You and the buyer use email to choose a payment method (e.g., crypto), discuss lease-to-own (LTO) options, etc.
  • Location: Country, region (e.g., state or province), and locality (e.g., city, town, or village) of your inquirers to help you understand where they are located, the best time to contact them, etc.
  • Bulk Management: Set options on multiple domains at the same time: prices, payment methods, appearance, etc. using our website's interface or your favorite spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets).
  • Exports: Download a list of your domains and their settings, customizations, and inquiries, including buyers’ email addresses, offers, etc. (CSV format.)

PRO TIP: There is a common misconception about how many domain sales happen because of marketplaces. In reality, many sales would still happen (and do happen) without the help of a marketplace, so NamePros is providing a free solution to sell domains and you keep 100% of your profit.


Our for-sale parking service is 100% free:​

  • No upfront fees
  • No monthly fees
  • No commission (0%)
  • No upgraded account necessary
  • 100% of your sales belong to you!

How does all that sound?

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
It’s a very interesting idea!
Thanks. Experimenting with "My maximum budget" vs "My offer" is interesting, too (only one of those fields presented).

A savvy buyer would not share their maximum budget, even with a broker or representative of theirs.
Exactly. That's why I asked precisely this. When confronted with those two mandatory fields, it really gets interesting. If that's the only way to get in touch with Seller, by the way.

It is a sign of negotiating power that is subtly radiated.

The header alignment could be improved.
Suggestions?

It looks beautiful for domains that are average length or longer.

Admittedly, it doesn’t look as nice for short domains. 😔

Edit: Maybe the domain just needs to have a larger font size when the domain is short.

The current alignment is quite uncomfortable for the eyes. Centering everything in the header (in the recent screenshot on mobile, above), would look much nicer. Perhaps the icon should be removed.

CYA - cover your ass

Every company should do more of it but not too much of it. Have suggested this to Porkbun, where a user can opt out of alerts/confirmations, particularly renewals. With an opt-out, there's hard evidence: "But you literally told us not to tell you".

@Bravo Mod Team ,When you set a Bin, and an offer comes through,does it still show make offer on the bottom ?My buddy just tried this and it showed BIN and then make offer on the bottom,even after I set to only Bin .Maybe I need to link to escrow to eliminate this .

Also,can you still set to receive email notifications if make offer is not met ,so we don't have to see it only when we sign in to namepros to view the inquiries .

When you set a Bin, and an offer comes through,does it still show make offer on the bottom ?My buddy just tried this and it showed BIN and then make offer on the bottom,even after I set to only Bin .
You can use the minimum offer setting: "Use buy-now price when available or no minimum offer otherwise."

That setting is the only way to indicate to buyers that you are not willing to entertain offers except your BIN.

Also,can you still set to receive email notifications if make offer is not met ,so we don't have to see it only when we sign in to namepros to view the inquiries .
A minimum offer means that you don't want to be notified about offers less than that amount, and we inform buyers of that. You can disable the minimum offer if you want to be notified about all offers.

The following upcoming feature will mention offers below your minimum:
  • Account notifications: Inquiry summaries and account notices about your parked domains, sent by email.

We hope that helps.
