Comments on: Domain Names And TV Advertising http://www.conceptualist.com/2007/12/19/domain-names-and-tv-advertising/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:21:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: don't get it http://www.conceptualist.com/2007/12/19/domain-names-and-tv-advertising/#comment-4353 don't get it Sat, 22 Dec 2007 16:32:17 +0000 http://www.conceptualist.com/2007/12/19/domain-names-and-tv-advertising/#comment-4353 I think it is important though that Enom stop advocating child pornography. The names they are selling as "premium" and profiting off of (high school and teen porn names) needs to be removed off of the premiums list. This is really a disgusting way to make a buck and it brings down the overall integrity of the premium tv names. And more than that, they should not even be involved in selling teen porn names. They have been listed since day one so they are more than aware of them. They charge more than enough to profit well from other names- they need to remove these and get their profit driven heads out of the toilet.

The .TV domain name is to provide depth advertising to your business. Some businesses also buy taxi ads, local newspaper and other form of marketing to introduce their business.

If you think of .TV and video or commercials then it applies to almost any product and service. A commercial is just that. One can say, Loans.tv, hmmmm, that makes no sense. However, if you really think about it it makes absolute sense in an age where streaming media has caught or is catching up to the net. Loans.tv can be a site for commercial use with videos explaining products and services much like commercials used on television today. There are many available generic terms available today and while some carry heavy renewals it is well worth it for business and branding. In 2008, Next.TV will launched by HP and basically be marketed to 20 million or so HP pc users and this is not hype. Sahar, I am very glad to see this post. Advertising is shifting and right now there is a huge opportunity for business and investors alike. .TV is an opportunity to BRAND, BUILD and drive traffic, imo.

The public can be trained. Over time it has been done over and over and over. Simple generic .com names are the Holy Grail- and most can not touch them. You can't keep preaching to the choir about getting a generic .com name for your business, as it is usually not attainable. I think we are confusing domainers/businesses/users with this. It's great that Frank and Rick have done so well with their parking lot business- but the names they have- THEY have. It's irresponsible to lay that down that kind of pressure. And it is insane to think the public will only react to a .com name. Don't get me wrong, I invest in .com as well, but I can see the overall underlying value .tv has. The internet is moving towards internet tv and video. You couldn't have a brighter red carpet laid out for you. And many aren’t even going for the premiums but using solid reg fee generics in .tv.

There is no doubt that TV is the most recognizable abbreviation worldwide no matter what the language. Infomercials like JohnBeck.tv use the extension and there are several other Infomercials that use the .tv extension. PS Is there any place safe from Wrixon pumping IDN ? WOW Nice to see you warming to the .tv extension, Sahar you are certainly a bright domainer and entrepreneur.

So many great memorable names are available for branding and that are easy to remember. There are hundreds of what Enom likes to call premium names that may cost you $500.00/$1000 a year or more, but if your spending thousands of dollars a month or more on tv/radio ads then it is well worth the expense. Also lots of great regular names available for $24.95/year More and more large companies are starting to use the .tv extension to promote video sites and are promoting them on commercials as well.

Studies found that these attempts to make phone numbers easier to remember actually hurt sales as callers struggled to convert the letters into numbers when dialing. Now if you pitch CoolTies.com, it's super easy. And look at that- capitalize the words in the url, leave off www, no hyphens and dot com only! Keep It Simple Stupid- KISS still rules in advertising...

I now have a list of almost 250 examples here http://searchdomainsforsale.com/creative-domain-marketing.htm I'm not sure they are the most memorable names but for some reason, there is a major trend to use what I call "Creative Domain Marketing".
