Hi everyone,

I have a super premium domain that I am selling and I am trying to familiarize myself with overseas sales. I just found this forum so looking forward to learning a lot about sales in the U.K.

Welcome to the forum. What is this 'super premium domain' you mention?

Welcome to the forum. You will also find domainprices.co.uk helpful.

Thanks for the welcome. Looking to pick up as much information as I can.

When I hear super premium I am instantly wary, however in this scenario - you actually do have an exceptional domain. I hope the sale goes well!

As above - The jewellers would be a very very good target for this. Have you made sure its a high profile sale?

Thanks guys. I have just begun the sales process after some amount of due diligence. I spoke to several high profiled brokers but couldn't reach a comfort level with their sales processes. I prefer being fully involved as I am with any other important transactions I am involved with. It is listed on Flippa.com. I chose Flippa for a number of reasons but there are issues which I am attempting to address. One big issue is lack of visibility once the name moves off the home page.

My target market right now is technology (mobile communications, telecommunications, search engines), media, and social web. These companies would probably give me the most upside potential since they have deep pockets. It is a question of identifying the decision makers and contacting them which is what I am involved with right now and one of the reasons I am here checking out the European marketplace.

Thanks everyone for their well wishes in my endeavor.

Nice domain, it needs more publicity than just being on Flippa though.

Give it some exposure, to get the best selling price you need as many people wanting it as possible

Hi,

Yes, Flippa provides limited exposure. However, they are fair and there are a couple of other domains on there right now get some press including ay.com and dirt.com.

The best exposure I received was with the press release on 24-7pressreleases.com. Received over 1500 views which was quite good. I was lucky that they chose the press release to be #5 on their front page that day. I welcome suggestions on ways to promote the sale and appreciate all advice. Thanks for the support and advice.

Whoa! Nice name for an introductory post.

I have a suggestion ... how about you tell your story to dnjournal.com, i.e. your domaining background, and see if you can get a front page story on that site ... it should help the sale.
