discuss New ways to sell domains?

[Arpit131]

Hello guys..
Let's discuss new ways to sell domain names.

It's been quite sometime since we happened to brainstorm on this particular things.

Last I heard, someone was using Twitter ads to sell their domain names and it was working for them!

Let's discuss some more on this..
Think of the craziest ways and share it here. Who knows, something worthwhile comes up maybe!!

The idea is to think out of the box! Go crazy!
Share the best way you could think of

I suspect no one will share something that's good.

@Riz M. -

Thanks for your post.

Please let us know your results - more specifically your Cost-to-Return rate.

Since we are dealing with digital assets, it is common for us to think "online" is the most likely avenue to get results - but if you find that "old school" print advertising works - that would be a surprise by many of us. And definitely something I (we) would be interesting in hearing about the technique used and Cost-to-Return results.

Thanks,

I am curious...

Has anyone tried posting YouTube videos to help sell a specific domain. I am not talking about "Hey - make millions selling domains" type videos.

I am talking about a specific video post that is directly pitching / promoting / advertising a specific domain.

If so, please post here (or DM me) the link to the piece as I'd be interested in what sales dialogue (sales script) was used and what sort of traffic, lead gen, or sales resulted from the effort.

Thanks,

As i mentioned it will be a test but i believe many offline businesses would be interested in acquiring premium names but they dont know how to do it...
It will be a test as soon i will have results i will open thread with results..

I have not yet done it but it is an idea I have been thinking about for a year and a half. Something short enough to be viewed and engaging might well get your domain in front of eyes that would otherwise never see it.

Hi Bob -

One word you mentioned says it all - "engaging"

In sales... people buy emotionally and justify intellectually.

All these "brandable" sites use (quantum) sales techniques... meaning they advertise their site but do not spend or promote any one specific product that they have as inventory on their site.

They say "come give me a 30% commission and I will make a sales landing page for you" (aka- Shelf Space is what we call it in the retail industry)..

All the advertisements for the Old Spice branded deodorant do not promote the Proctor & Gamble website in their ads, rather the other way around, P & G promotes their BRAND of deodorant called "Old Spice".. They develop their target audience by developing an emotional tie to the brand - what is known as a "brand identity" or "brand character".

In my opinion... the "brandable" sites of today have it bass-ackwards!!

Sorry for the rant, but there are too many sites promoting their ability to sell "brandable" domains, that have it backwards.

A SLP (Sales Landing Page) is NOT a proactive content piece that proactively reaches out to a target audience - it is nothing more than a bed for the domain to lie on and wait patiently to be sold. The most passive and antiquated thinking I've ever seen!!!!!!! Shame on us for accepting this as "the standard" approach for selling these products.

What this industry needs... is an enema!

I want to sell my domain name is smartexpress.in

Although the thread is about selling names, I don't think this is what they mean

I am really curious about this....

The future of search is voice, video, immersive content and telepathy so if you are looking to promote an asset, how do you this for millennial's, generation z or Gen Alpha (little way away yet!)

We are currently in a decision making wave of Baby Boomers & Xennials BUT the next gen of leaders are here and they interact differently with the world

Content, Engagement and Positioning will be/are crucial and how you go about this will have a massive impact on sales/revenue in every industry including domaining.....

I love the idea of positioning yourself as a thought leader within an industry - original content, sharing ideas, collaboration, peer to peer networking with decision makers etc etc (buzz word city!) This can be done within any industry and could create a lot of engagement imo

Position yourself, Share, connect, engage and spread the word!

Good thread......

I believe I've read somewhere that a member was looking to promote and try to sell names from a booth or something at golf tournaments and such.
Curious how that worked out. @ThatNameGuy care to share?

Nevermind,
I've found the thread and the plans for this strategy had been put on hold due to a family wedding.

Still curious if there has been another attempt at this strategy and if so how did it work out.

Your domains don't need marketing
