Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate the discussion and understand that brand names can be subjective - what resonates with one person may not with another.
At DAAZ, we see our name as more than just a label; it represents our vision for the future of Digital Assets A to Z. Strong brands arenโt built overnight, and while we may not have been on your radar before, weโve been rapidly growing, now hosting close to one million domains on our marketplace.
While some great movie titles, brands, and even technologies werenโt universally understood at first, they became widely recognized as they established their value. We are committed to delivering that value in the domain space, and our increasing inventory and expanding user base reflect this.
That said, we always welcome constructive conversations with domain investors. Our goal remains clear: to provide a marketplace that benefits domain sellers by maximizing visibility and sales opportunities.
We appreciate the feedback and the time you took to share your perspective in a very clear manner. We are the domainer friendly marketplace , we continue to evolve taking all of your feedback. Thanks again.
Lots of nice sounding management speak. But you seem to be in your own little fantasy world and not acknowledging that your name is a washing powder and that's all I see and perhaps only what many others will see.
Brand names can't be subjective otherwise they won't have wide appeal.
This is the same mindset that some artists and bands have, who decry commercialism and only want "to reach the true fan with their message" and that it's not about money. They can do that, of course, but they'll be scrimping and saving, ducking and diving, jiggery-pokerying their way through life and living in spartan or austere conditions.
After 27 years, what are you expecting domain owners to "understand" that they don't already about you? Strong brands aren't built overnight, but after 27 years where are you? I wouldn't say you are even a brand at all.
I think it's quite silly to imagine yourself in the same shoes as Ford, Apple, Google and others who people didn't understand at first. VCRs, CDs took a little while to take off but it didn't take 20+ years.
I think you need to reappraise your entire business strategy, especially your name and to stop imagining you are some great innovation and pretending you are in in the same ballpark as the great names we all know and which have long become household names.
Just like that crook Elizabeth Holmes, who launched her crooked company Theranos. She wanted to be a female Steve Jobs and focused on getting the look (turtle neck, mannerisms and speech), but she didn't do the important parts, which was to have something real, good and different.
It's not enough to want to be like the great names of the past, you actually have to do great things. Just like all those boxers with shaved heads - it doesn't make you a great boxer just because you shave your head.
And having a name that no-one can identify as being about domain names is one thing that will hold you back.
