When you have the .com, how do you word an e-mail to the other ext. holders?

(If you are trying to interest them in buying)

Do you assume they know enough about the value of .com? How do you word the e-mail or letter without being condescending? Do you keep it very short, like "the .com is available for a reasonable price" or do you go into stats about relative value/traffic generation of .coms versus .xxx, etc.

And if the latter, what are the general stats (I don't mean stats on the particular site, I mean general relative value stats of .com vs .xxx)?

Thanks!!

Let them know if it has any traffic.

Always offer to set up some kind of tracker for them to get access to. (securely ofcourse) if it does in deed get traffic,

make sure they have no "rights" to the name before you send them an email.

dont say "send or make an offer" go with a price you are happy with and say it's negotiable. (so ofcourse you'll probbably go higher) < this doesn't always work hehe.

I'm not a big believer in dot com is king, but let them know how/why it would benefit them having the .com + other ext's.

Make a point of telling them that some of there potential customers may well be typing in companyname.com instead of companyname.ext

never assume they know anything about domaining or where you get your "info" from.

and last dont post the name for sale anywhere untill you have dealt with these people. (if that happens)

Good luck,

Great advice...I'm trying a bunch this week. I think the strongest argument may be that potential customers are coming to me, not them...
