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.

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!

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
The primary display and {domain} variable are based on your choice, but you can certainly add more case displays to your descriptions.

Would you like us to add variables for the domain in all lowercase and all uppercase?

That'd be easy for us to do.


Yep!

Images can also be added to descriptions: Learn more.
In my opinion if the names are displayed in all upper and all lower it reduces the risk/chance of confusion between certain letters, namely l and I.

@Bravo Mod Team ,"Sold and Pending sale button", should be added to your future list,if not already in the works.
I know you can read my mind 🤣.

Thanks, Bravo Mod. Actually, yes. I think it causes more confusion than adds benefit. I would say replace it with something trust inducing, though I can’t come up with something clever in this moment. I’ll get back to you.
Hi @Bravo Mod Team. I think that space could be used to educate endusers, and thus, possibly install a little extra trust.

Real endusers often don’t know what a “domain name” is. (Really, try asking your kid’s first grade teacher.) All they know is they want to create a website, and if anything, call it a “website name” in their minds.

Perhaps we could use the space to very briefly define what a domain name is in layman terms?

To those of you using Google analytics — are you using the same property in each domain’s setup?

You only need one property.

Just paste your GA Tag ID into your Namepros Profile and Settings.

Hey @Bravo Mod Team. Can you use a break tag in the Short Description? It doesn’t seem to work.

On second thought, I’m again voting for removing that line. And there are short & long description fields already — and they look nice! Those are good for my earlier comments.

I would like to point out that on a Make Offer only domain, that statement, is to Contact the seller. It’s only when you have Buy Now set that you get that random Just one available statement. Contact the seller makes much more sense.

Remember, most of our actual end users are not technologically savvy and could easily be spooked. IMO.

Keep in mind that “Contact the seller” is only applicable to one of our payment methods: Email. The rest do not involve contacting the seller.

Hey @Bravo Mod Team. (Don’t worry, I’ll tire out soon. 😉) Can I suggest that from the buyer’s perspective, Sale should actually be replaced with Purchase… this domain name is available for purchase. It’s already on sale!

Show attachment 263342
We use that for priced domains:

Both are widely understood:
  • “Available for sale” is common in real estate, e.g., “For Sale” signs in the front lawn, without a price shown.
  • “Available for purchase” is common in e-commerce, e.g., online ticket sales, with a price shown.

Edited to add examples.

Do you like "Your future website name" better?

Your future website's name​

Any other suggestions for this text?

Sale should actually be replaced with Purchase
I agree with purchase over sale in the given wording (mentioned this much earlier in thread). I spent time looking around how others use it...it's a matter of preference as it is used both ways.
