question What is the deal with this GoDaddy sales email?

[LunarJump]

Opened this email from GoDaddy trying to sell me a premium listed domain.
Is this sales method something they do for all domains listed there or is it a feature you can pay for?

Thanks All

Maybe check your account notifications, not sure. Huge domains have it listed for $2,795. I'd question "premium domain", in the given case

It's a campaign GoDaddy has done from time to time. Here's an article from 2017 about it: https://domaininvesting.com/afternic-outbound-email-sales-tactic/

Clever tactic. The strategy apparently worked in this instance, providing quite a bit of extra marketing!

And when people look at your name they make alternative suggestions just like this on GD.

So this is an added perk to being on the Afternic Fast Transfer network? Godaddy may do some outbounding for you, to owners of similar domain names?
That is great to hear, especially if excellent graphics, like the one shown above, are used in the outbound email.

Yeah, I believe it's predominantly Fast Transfer domains, but not exclusively... I've never been sent one of these promos personally but I understand GoDaddy runs them from time to time. I think it's a useful added perk.
