Domain Acquisition
We help a range of clients acquire the domain names they desire.
Many of our corporate clients are business owners or start-up founders who understand the need for a strong domain name that helps them stand out in their industry. For the modern business, your domain name IS your brand. Having the right domain name makes it easy for customers to find you. We have helped hundreds of clients acquire the perfect domain name to brand their business — even hard-to-get domains that are owned by someone else.
If you wish to buy a domain name for personal use, we can also help you navigate the process and secure the right domain. Whether it’s a family name, a hobby or blog domain or even something you’ve always wanted to own, our expert team have handled it all.
At Brannans, we also have an extensive client base of seasoned domain investors who come to us whenever they wish to add a domain to their portfolio. If you are interested in having us represent you as your go-to broker for domain investments, or are new to the world of domains as an investment asset, please reach out to us today.
No matter what your reason for buying a domain, the buy-side domain transaction process remains similar.
We do the following:
Buy-Side Domain Name Transactions
- Determine fit and brand value of target domains for your business.
- Thorough targeted domain appraisal to estimate domain market value.
- Acquire registered domains – even those not yet listed for sale.
- Locate hard-to-find domain owners.
- Develop domain owner profiles to determine communication and negotiation strategy.
- Successfully manage, secure, and verify domain name transaction.
- Confidentiality assured.
Negotiations for off-market domains
If you’re interested in buying a domain name that is currently registered by someone else and therefore off the market, all hope is not lost. This domain can still be bought, it just requires the means to open doors that only seasoned domain brokers like Brannans can open.
We have helped many individuals secure off-market domain names that on the surface appeared to be taken. With the right connections and negotiation tactics, previously registered domains can change hands in a private transaction facilitated by an expert domain name brokerage like Brannans.
Selling Domain Names
Valuable domain names are sold for many reasons.
For instance, you may presently find yourself in any of the following situations:
- Established businesses and brands who have surplus domains originally acquired during product development.
- Established businesses owners who are retiring or closing a business and know that the domain has value to be realized.
- Corporations who have built a portfolio of domain names through the IP of acquired businesses that have become non-performing assets.
- Domain investors who wish to recapitalize a portion or all of their investment.
- The time has come to liquidate a family domain name held through generations.
- Or simply, an individual who has changed their mind and no longer wishes to own a domain they previously registered.
Whatever the reason, we have decades of experience in serving all types of domain transactions. Professional sell-side domain brokerage services like that which we offer here at Brannans are about so much more than simply listing a domain for sale. It involves curating and outreaching to a highly targeted prospect list of buyers, which requires the right connections and experience to gain access to.
Rest assured; nobody will work harder for you than us to find the right buyer at the price you want for your domain.
Sell-Side Domain Name Transactions
You can expect the following from sell-side domain name transactions at Brannans:
- Comprehensive strategic sales to maximize return or rapid wholesale transactions for fast results.
- Exhaustive linguistic, branding, and contextual research to develop potential buyer target.
- Gauging current and past market interest in similar domain names.
- Develop buyer profiles to determine communication and negotiation strategy.
- Thorough domain appraisal to estimate domain market value range.
- Pre-qualify potential buyers.
- Successfully manage, secure, and verify domain name transaction.
- Confidentiality assured.
Managed Domain Name Auctions
Managed domain name auctions are effective tools for maximizing the return on domain names — especially high-profile domains, high value domain brands, and unique domain keyword combinations. The most successful domains to perform at auction are usually one-word domains registered for twenty years or more. Brannans have auctioned a range of domain names with favorable outcomes for our clients over our two decades in business.
Domain Name Auction Formats
- Public, single-domain spotlight auctions.
- Private, invitation-only single-domain auctions.
- Public, multi-domain portfolio auctions.
- Private domain portfolio auctions with select pre-qualified bidders.
As with all transactions at Brannans, your confidentiality and sensitivity is assured with domain auctions. If you wish to find out more about the different types of auction process, please visit this page.
Domain Appraisal And Valuation
Sometimes it can be difficult to know how much your domain is worth, especially if you are new to the world of buying and selling domains. We understand how stressful this process can be, which is why we offer free domain name appraisals and valuations for prospective clients. All we ask is that your domain is a short one-world or multiple letter .com domain name. You will not be charged anything unless we manage to sell your domain, or secure the domain you wish to buy.
If this is of interest, contact us today to initiate this process.
Domain and Business Name Consulting
The domain name industry is a complex network of primary and secondary markets. It can therefore be hard to determine what the best course of action is for you and your business. Sometimes, our clients need domain consulting and domain branding advice. After all, a domain forms an integral part of your overall brand image and marketing strategy.
Or perhaps you understand the value of a powerful domain name and want to use that knowledge to guide you to make the best decisions about what to call your start-up or business.
This is where we can help. Together, we can brainstorm and work through a range of names that are best suited to your new company and find the matching .com domain from the get-go.
We can help you figure out the following:
- What is the best domain to brand my business?
- When should I buy a domain?
- What is a fair price to pay for a domain name?
- When should I sell domain names?
- How much is my domain worth?
- What domain names should I keep for the long term?
