On today’s show, two leading domain name brokers discuss a tipping point they are seeing in the domain name market. As supply of premium domains decreases and demand continues to increase, the market is also maturing to the point of many end users understanding the value of quality domain names.
Andrew Rosener and Chris Zuiker, both of Media Options – who recently won the Escrow.com Broker of the Year Award once again – have daily conversations with top global decision-makers at end user corporations and startups. They are seeing a distinct tipping point in how end users understand domain values and how this is causing a shift in supply and demand, and therefore in domain values. We also cover:
- The corporate carrying cost on a domain, including the opportunity cost
- How often an end user comes back to a broker wanting to acquire a domain they previously passed on
- How startup founders’ common “Hustle Mode” often leads to a huge scalability mistake
- The 2 types of startup founders who get the value of a premium domain
- How voice recognition will contribute to increased demand (and again, reduced supply) for premium domain names
Domain investors, corporations and startups who want to understand the value of domain names and how the market is shifting, will benefit from today’s show!
