Question for the forum, any thoughts on what would make the best domain or even type of domain for my field-of-dreams project? (if I build it, will they come???). Something for end users to instinctively get, no acronyms or industry specific terms.
So if you could have any domain name you want for the perfect .ca specific marketplace, what would it be?
Should it be a domain/name centric domain name, or a brand centric domain? They all know its a domain they need, but I kinda like the idea of forcing them to think about the connection between their domain and brand.
Spit-balling thoughts:
a) something obvious like ForSale.ca or Aftermarket.ca. Marketplace.ca, etc...
b) something like domain.ca, domains.ca, name.ca, names.ca, etc...
c) some two word variant like DomainNames, DomainStore, NameStore, BrandStore, etc... many many options in this vein.
d) an action word like Prosper, Catapult or Propel as in "Propel your business to the next level with the perfect domain" etc...
e) matchmakers or cupid, as in a matchmaking service for your business and the perfect domain
f) something completely irrelevant but unforgettable and kinda funny like "bacon"? Everyone loves bacon right?
g) something like "jealous" or "envy" - as in "Your business doesn't need to be jealous of our domains, give it the perfect domain and brand name that it deserves!" or "Don't just envy our great domains, give your business the boost it needs with the perfect brand name"
h) vital.ca - the perfect domain is vital to your business' growth
i) something cutesy and brandable, like Brandy.ca - it ties in the brand names aspect, could have a mascot named "Brandy" that will help you find the perfect brand & domain.
Most of the traffic will come from the domain names themselves, so instant SEO isn't a necessity in my book.
The domain needs to fit with the site, and the site & landing pages need to be designed for the end-user with professional level graphic design. It needs to be friendly, inviting, attractive, informative, professional and most importantly, credible, trustworthy and authoritative.
So I'd probably shy away from most multi-word variants, just not authoritative enough for my likes (there might be an exception or two to that though).
Would be happy to hear everyone's feedback. But try not to think exclusively like a domainer, more like a business person. Not dumbed down and targeted at people looking for a domain to sell their crafts, but up and coming successful people who want to accelerate their growth and willing to pay minimum $10K+ for top domains.
In fact, I may have multiple front facing brands skinned differently to target the $10K+ domains, and another for the cheaper domains under $10K.
Thanks in advance!
