Interesting domain industry white paper

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Among the many things I wish I'd discovered earlier in the process was Dan Warner's thoughtful 47-page 2006 article entitled "Aftermarket Domains Value Segmentation."  Dan is COO of Fabulous.com, one of the leading domain monetization programs.  His article is a very deep summary of the domain market, and its inherent difficulties, as well as lots of great suggestions for making the domain market work better! 

A few points very relevant to the situation of selling a domain like table.com:

  • Aftermarket domains are a niche market, not a mass market.  Buyers are rare and need to be targeted with deep narrow spectrum marketing techniques.
  • The commission structures in place are not high enough to push the current market beyond reactive sales to proactive market development
