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 Edit: Export, Edit, and Upload to apply your changes all at once.

The same problem exists as it's written now (to check the price). It doesn't imply the price will be emailed

That's certainly true, it could be improved. All this is part of a larger scheme.

Here's an invitation to discuss all these Trust-Building and Call-To-Action elements in this dedicated thread:

Exploring the Best Visual Domain Landers: Insights and Perspectives from Domain Sellers

https://www.namepros.com/threads/ex...and-perspectives-from-domain-sellers.1334947/

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

Enter your contact details to…

• … check the price now
• … verify you’re human
• … see the price by email
• … get the price by email
• … continue by email

 

[internext]

whether other sellers will appreciate it as much as us

Maybe more along the lines of "Provide details to receive human verification code" ?

Or more succinctly: "Enter details to initiate human verification"

 

[Future Sensors]

Since the page already includes a reCAPTCHA, asking visitors to verify their humanity again seems redundant. This approach emphasizes a negative aspect—proving you’re human—instead of highlighting the positive elements of the sales flow. To maximize the impact of the best CTA elements, it’s crucial to avoid unnecessary repetitions and focus on what truly matters.

 

[internext]

Since the page already includes a reCAPTCHA, asking visitors to verify their humanity again seems redundant

I didn't see/realize that the form had a reCAPTCHA. Given this, I agree this is redundant and a change is not needed

 

[Future Sensors]

Indeed. You should see this clickable logo at the bottom right.

 

[internext]

If a change is needed maybe something more along the lines of "Enter your details to start the conversation" ?

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

If a change is needed maybe something more along the lines of "Enter your details to start the conversation" ?

That’s what it says for unpriced domains.

Example: Gesture.com

 

[internext]

You should see this clickable logo at the bottom right.

While I recognize that logo and I did notice it, I somehow didn't realize that's what it was

 

[internext]

That’s what it says for unpriced domains.

You guys are good! Lots of forethought here! Maybe its already just as it should be

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

As perfectionists, we enjoy these discussions, even if they have negligible effects.

 

[Innoverge]

You can remove it by using the recommended option:

• Price display: Hide pricing until email is confirmed [Recommended]

Here's the idea behind it:

​

---

That's what it says; it makes the buyer aware that this is their only chance to acquire it before it's gone forever.

We're happy to change the heading text but not remove that area. Let us know what you'd like it to say instead.

We'll run a poll once we have a few options. So far, we only have two options for the poll:

1. Just one available
2. Your future website name

It's a definite stretch and it's not how it comes across.
When it comes to landers keeping it simple is better, especially incoherent call-to-action phrasings that could raise red-flags to a buyer.

"In order to reduce spam, we kindly ask that you provide your email address so that we can send you a verification email."

 

[NicTraders]

Hey @Bravo Mod Team. As an end user, I’m usually hesitant to disclose contact details. As Seller’s, we’re not asking so we can spam people, however, nor to sell their contact info, etc. We’re asking to verify they’re human (essentially).

So, why not just say that? …Please enter your contact details to verify you’re human. (As a buyer, that’s reasonable.) And we already tell them in the line above that the price is instantly available, which I like, btw. Thoughts? Thanks!

Show attachment 263416

Good idea. I almost never enter my details as I expect to be spammed. But to verify I'm human, I'd be more likely to...

 

[internext]

to verify I'm human, I'd be more likely

Then how about:

Verify you are human

Then by the filling required info into the form and passing the captcha, the buyer is verified (and gets the price)

 

[NicTraders]

Some good points from @Future Sensors
Maybe this is a good one to use as it indicates why I'd be entering my email address (and why it needs to be the correct one):

Enter your contact details to…

• … get the price by email

though, I probably prefer ... 'receive the price by email'. But no big deal either way.

 

[internext]

'receive the price by email'.

Another thought
Leave that line alone, and instead change the heading.

Instant Price Via Email
Enter your contact details to get the price now

OR Keep heading as-is and change as noted

Price Available instantly
Enter details to receive pricing by email

Or a 3rd option

Verify you are human
Enter details to receive instant pricing by email

 

[Name Trader]

All my domains are currently make offer. In fact the most domain offers received is "none" or some other word meaning "you make me an offer". Which is not the purpose make this of kind of offer. Which don't deserve a reply. I started off making offers, then I switched to something similar to a polite reply that I expect a proper offer. None of these worked.

So now I want to send a fixed reply to everybody who sends me a none valid value and to ban that person forever responding to any future activity on my domains ever again. No second chances. And to sent that reply to potential buyer and to me.

Can you PLEASE organise something like this so I only receive offers from people who have a genuine interest in buying the domain.

 

[OceanKing]

Can we customize this text? If we can customize this text would be great.

 

[justlife]

I'm testing the Buy Now (price is shown) + start a conversation with payment method: email.

After I as the buyer confirmed my email, I'll be lead to page stating email confirmed.

But below it, there's the domain with Buy now and make offer button.

Since I clicked 'Buy Now,' I think the 'Make Offer' button should be removed. The buyer is ready to pay the full amount, and the 'Make Offer' button might make them second-guess their decision.

If I clicked 'Start Conversation,' I may want to ask questions about transfer or installment options, but again, the 'Make Offer' button could make me inclined to pay less.
