No value in a short .ca? (1.Viewing)

MapleDots · Feb 10, 2021

A while back I was contacted by the company above running under

mmca.associates using the email address info@mmca.associates

I quoted 2.5k for the domain and said it was a limited time offer.
I have since been contacted numerous times via broker, afternic etc and each time I quoted 5k because the initial offer of 2.5k had expired.

I received another offer last week and I requoted the 5k and I was politely turned down.
The offer was from a generic gmail address so I cannot say if it was the same people but I decided to visit the website and saw they are now using https://mmcaassociates.ca for the main website and info@mmcaassociates.ca for email.

The mmca.associates is also still functioning.

Again a company that failed to see the value in a direct match url for 2.5k
Even the 5k I am asking now is a bargain for a direct hit url.

That is a problem with a lot of these big companies. Some of the people at the top have no idea the value of a domain name.

I recall reading an article on the owner of VPN.com and why he paid a hefty 6 figure price for it. That guy knew the value and knew the extra added value and income it will bring towards his business.

I always like to explain in child like sentences for people who have no idea about domain names. I normally say that a great short domain name is equivalent to a store in a great location. A long hard to remember name is more equivalent to a store out in the boonies that nobody visits.
