news NamePros Landers with Buy Now, Escrow.com integration, and much more

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.

Want to see more styles and options? Visit our live demo domains!

Now, let’s talk new features!​

• Buy Now: Add a Buy button with a sales price and payment options for buyers to purchase your domains.
  • 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).
  • Bulk Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.
• Exports: Download a list of your domains and their settings, customizations, and inquiries, including buyers’ email addresses, offers, etc. (CSV format.)

• Supersonic Speed Boost: Our landers already loaded blazingly fast, but now they’re even faster — a powerful increase in performance!
  • For techies: Go, Redis, and Elastic (previously only: PHP and MySQL)

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?

P.S. Our announcement last week was not a prank. Spatial Scrolling™ is real, courtesy of NamePros innovation!

 

[Mister Funsky]

Just to be clear - I generated a checkout link from afternic and it was a dan.com URL. The buyer used that link and somehow the transaction got stuck somewhere between afternic and dan. Even funnier was when afternic (after a few days) asked me to push the domain to them after the domain had already disappeared from my account via fast transfer. But eventually them managed to find it.

Oh, okay. I guess I've been lucky not having any issue with it yet. I will be glad to have the sedo option again.

 

[Mister Funsky]

@Bravo Mod Team, I just had a lead come in and for the first time I noticed the added data...well done!

ADD: I'm just curious why kilometer vs mile? Oh, it is based on the origin location of the inquiry, correct?

"47 people/km2
The number of people per square kilometer for the postal code(s) associated with the inquirer."

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

@Bravo Mod Team, I just had a lead come in and for the first time I noticed the added data...well done!

The new data is also on all of your previous leads if you go back to check them now.

 

[pb]

"47 people/km2
The number of people per square kilometer for the postal code(s) associated with the inquirer."

Please also add weather data (temperature, precipitation and atmospheric pressure), I need to know what mood the buyer might be in.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I'm just curious why kilometer vs mile? Oh, it is based on the origin location of the inquiry, correct?

Just a more standard unit of measurement.

There’s only like 3 countries in the whole world that use miles instead of meters, and even scientific communities within those countries use meters instead.

Us U.S. folks are weird.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Yes I don't know if I would ever need most of the information provided on an inquiry, but it is impressive. Clearly the location data is the most critical. To all involved in the lander project, fantastic work.

By the way, I really appreciate the OpenIt link at the top of NamePros in the announcement about the lander. It allows me to readily check over and over each day that I indeed have no new offers or inquiries !! Seriously, although I do check the associated email account regularly, nice to have such an easy way to get to the offers.

Thanks again,

Bob

Okay, this begs the question...what is the breakdown (country wise) of NPs users?

My assumption (I know, I know) is that a higher percentage comes from the US, followed by UK, with users contributing from all over the world. That is the reason I thought miles would be the unit of measure.

Well, one day, we in the US will FINALLY convince the rest of the world that miles are the way to go.

My dad was a chemical and mechanical engineer and he traveled the world. He had an office in Germany and in Honduras and did his best to get me to use the metric system as a child. I was in elementary school when 'they' said we would be slowly converted. Actually, I am surprised the US has not made the move yet...I'm sure there is some top secret reason our government has not made the change...

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

what is the breakdown (country wise) of NPs users?

The U.S. is usually the largest percentage of users, but it’s less than half of total users:

United States is 186,673/524,151 = 35.6%*.

* This data only includes the forums and does not include any traffic from parking landers.

Us Americans might just be more stubborn and resistant to change, unless it’s a shiny new iPhone.

I remember in 1975, President Ford wanted us to begin using metric more. I see there was H.R. 8674 that was passed "Metric Conversion Act". I remember the entire class of 6th grade every one of us got everything wrong after being taught for those first 10-11 years Imperial. We could not get the hang of it and in later grades it didnt show up as much until I was in Engineering in college where everything is metric. Physics, Chemistry but not Electrical - that was already standardized globally. For me, I learned enough of it just to complete the assignments and work.

However, to this day I still cant wrap my head around metric!

You were likely joking, but we might just do that. Excellent idea, honestly!

Sunny, clear skies = happy buyers.

 

[Domain boy]

I have never given it a try but, in terms of exposure, is namepros doing a better job than Dan, afternic, sedo, etc? Is it worth it to have your domains parked here?

If there is some sort of proof that supports that it would be amazing and a win-win (less commission which in the domain investing game is a huge difference) and at the same time higher chance that the name gets sold. What can be better than this?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

If there is some sort of proof that supports that it would be amazing

The best proof is that the same types of sales that happen at other marketplaces are also happening with NamePros Landers. Domains are what sell, not the landing pages, so you might as well not give up 20-30% of your sale for no reason.

All sales through our landers are private unless sellers decide to share them.

Here are some examples that members have shared:

• .IO domain sold for $75K less than a month after acquiring it using NamePros Landers
• Video that mentions undisclosed brokered sales (six figures) closed through NamePros Landers
• Yet another famous domain broker doing deals through NamePros Landers and praising them
• There's a recent $150k sale (not .com) that the seller said they'll report to NameBio soon, verified and closed through Escrow.com

Here's another $30k sale:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1852447134731080115

We know of a lot more, and we hope sellers will share them when possible.

Watch this new thread for additional updates:

Also: this interesting experiment by @Kyle Tully is still ongoing. I'm looking forward to the results.

It's actually a field of research, but it appears to be not that simple

Tried my first NP lander. Not what I hoped for. The price is blocked until the email is verified. I realize most of you want the email but for me, I really don't care. Show the price even if someone doesn't want spam to verify their email. I mean, how many hoops can you make someone jump through to see a price?

I realize I'm likely in the minority here - but these landers don't work for me. Perhaps when you add the ability to customize them with branding (ala Dan) I may deal with the email verification blocks. But at the moment, I prefer Bodis who just shows the price with Escrow attached. Both are free - and Bodis doesn't have any hoops for the end user to jump through.

yea I told them to disable emailconfirm if we pick the all setting. like bodis does and everyone else.. but they are in love with confirming email. for me that just scares buyers.away. I want all inquiries. confirmed or not. and in my mailbox. if I pick the all setting.

I'll wait for this change before I'm here. anything else and u just give buyer extra work plus some people just dont see and or forget they need to confirm. not for me. cheers.

I tried the Namepros Landers, but it won't work for me without BULK updates using a CSV or TXT file -- Min, BIN, and also download of all names listed in my account.

I'm getting alot of zero offers, and also a bunch of low-ball offers -- at least a MIN would filter out this type of activity.
