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.)
• Domain Verification: Verify your domains by using any of these methods: name servers (NS), CNAME, or TXT records.
• 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)

Wait, there’s more!

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

• No upfront fees
• No monthly fees
• No commission (0%)
• No upgraded account necessary

How does all that sound?

Just curious what those of you using a phone to view your landers think about the experience?

I'm a desktop dude and the NPs landers normally rank from 93 to 96 on the lander score but the phone score runs from 48 to 65. Of course, this may be a normal response for a phone but it would be interesting to learn what others think.

Below is a recent score breakdown (score rating of 55):

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)0ms
Time To First Byte (TTFB)1.7s
First Contentful Paint (FCP)2.3s
First Input Delay (FID)0
Interactive To Next Paint (INP)214ms
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)2.5s

Going to spend some time checking the few I still have pointed to Gddy and Dan landers.

There's nothing wrong with the real experience, and those scores are in effect for namepros.com, I believe.

For NamePros the desktop rating is 89 and the mobile is 56. Seems fairly consistent.

Works fine and I do more work on my phone than on my laptop.

Works great either way

@Bravo Mod Team ,

Your namepros lander beats a lot of fancy subscription model out there ..I hope you guys will find a way to relaunch on a separate name and then add a chat widget and all that.

Add a bot to handle payment like at old Dan but I don't know if you guys are ready for the heavy workload to handle all the headaches that goes with it.

But it's really impressive that you guys improve and add more features and even ask for suggestions and get to work .It takes decades for some big company to even work on the bugs on their site and still haven't figured it out .

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I would like to have my general sales pitch with payment info in the second field, and if provided, I could have my domain specific pitch/info in the 3rd.

I would like to see the ability to Have one field the same for all domains, another field edited by groups we can import and the final field manually entered for each domain which contains everything specific for that domain.

We have a solution for this coming soon.

The issue is the data entered in the field does not translate to each induvial domain page so editing is not easy.

That wouldn't be ideal because whenever you want to change your base template, you'd have to update it in every location that you customized it.

Our upcoming solution resolves that, too.

It will be a template variable that you can set and then include in your expanded descriptions.

You guys are Rockstars .Thank you for all the effort . Just bring me smiles .

Hi, I'd just like to catch up regarding the bulk domain price and minimum offer update feature. When do you expect it to be ready? I'm sure it will be very helpful for anyone with a large number of domains.

I've been waiting for this feature also.

It's surprisingly complex to do it efficiently, but we're actively working on it.

We hope to have it ready sometime this month.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I think it would be nice having a "coming soon" lander with contact form. Do you plan of adding it as an additional choiche along with BIN and MO ?

Yes. Initially, we were going to create an option for this, but we may just allow you to customize all text on the lander instead so you can make your own lander (e.g., "Coming soon" or "Under construction").

Core Web Vitals is based largely on the hardware of the device viewing the page.

In our case, our landers would have nearly perfect scores if it were not for reCAPTCHA, which is the technology that reduces robot inquiries (e.g. automated form-submitting spambots).

Google's reCAPTCHA technology performs very poorly on mobile and hurts Google's Core Web Vitals score. Ironic, right? Get it together, Google!

We plan to switch away from Google's reCAPTCHA in the future to a better solution.

Thank you for the response/explanation.

It takes me back to when my father would say 'any day you learn something is a good day'.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

A lot of requested features just became available. It's going to take us a while to write up a summary of them all, and we'll probably forget to include some of them, so...

Happy hunting!

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Here's a fun one!

Display Images: Bring your landers to life with domain logos, accepted payment methods (e.g., Visa and Mastercard), relevant photos (e.g., puppies on awesome paw-some domains), paint a picture of what the domain can become, etc. You could even include your company's logo, your headshot, etc.

• Tip: Use ChatGPT to create a visually-inspiring image for each of your domains!
• Pro Tip: Images with transparent backgrounds look amazing!

I was thinking more of being able to add one image/logo that would be individual to each page (or could default to the same image via parking profile setting)

Time to add those awesome images that you share on social media to your landers.

It's ready!

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

About Seller (You): Tell visitors about yourself or your company with advanced text styling inside your user card. The perfect place to showcase your experience (e.g., total sales, awards, certifications, notable past clients), your company's details (e.g., slogan, phone number, hours of operation, languages spoken), etc.

So, how many languages does everyone speak?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Another improvement suggestion to "Minimum offer" feature:
Instead of having a fixed "Minimum offer" for all domains, there should be an option to choose a percentage.
For example:
If domain1 is priced at $1000 and the Minimum Offer Percentage is set to 30%, the Minimum Offer for this domain1 will be $700.
If domain2 is $50, the Minimum Offer will be $35.
etc.

Added!

Minimum Offers: Save time by setting a minimum offer amount to manage buyers’ expectations. Set it as a specific amount or a percentage of the buy-now price (e.g., 50% or 100% to match it exactly).

Did I mention I made my first NP sale the other day? It was only a couple of days after moving the domain to NP landers. …Granted, it was for only 30% of BIN, but it was also a really good learning experience.

Thanks NP & @Bravo Mod Team! If our paths ever cross in real life, the next round is on me!

So you had a BIN listed and the buyer made their own offer? Did you negotiate, or just took the offer? How was it finalised, escrow, paypal, something else? Sorry for all the questions, feel free to not answer.

No worries. Loosely, I was made an offer just about 25% of BIN so I countered 30% from that, to a total that was about 30% of BIN. But like a true rookie, I just elected to pay escrow’s fee [as the seller]. Again, learned a lot. And just the stress of navigating Escrow.com for the first time nearly gave me a stroke.

@Bravo Mod Team ^ The header alignment could be improved.

Improved.

 

[Future Sensors]

Improved.

Thanks.

On mobile, it's already an improvement, because all 3 lines in the header are now centered.

On desktop it's still uneasy for the eyes because the lines are not centered yet.

I suggest for all the headers:

• Complete centering of all text lines
• More balanced vertical spacing between the lines
• Removal of the checkmark, it's messy in that specific place (maybe place elsewhere, or just not show at all)
