Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of AFPG.COM. As the news spread amongst your partners, employees, and customers, your mobile is ringing for three days. You've got a huge number of calls, a mailbox full of messages and congrats. Everything is looking good but you need a bit of time, to process it all, to see the numbers.
It has now been six months and the numbers are in! 40% increase in direct traffic, then shortly after the number is 70%. Repeat customers have grown well over 200%. Who would have thought? Increased trust, word of mouth, no traffic leaks, an important immunity against another brand who may grab the domain, better SEO and more effective marketing campaigns. You didn't even realize you were missing on all of those before.
It's been a year now. You sit back and reflect, you've spent three months and a small fortune to acquire AFPG.COM, and looking back you conclude, it was the best investment you have ever made.
I hope you enjoyed the journey. While the story is fictional, it is based on real people and real events, all of which are listed below.
When it comes to domain names, we understand you have options. You can register a new domain name, add a word or a hyphen, or get a local domain extension. As a matter of fact, if you are just testing an idea, if your products or services are limited to a local market, or if you're creating a non profit or a hobby project, we would advise you to do just that.
If however you determine that the domain AFPG.COM has the potential to uplift your brand and that you have the infrastructure and vision to extract the maximum value from such a strategic investment, we want to help and are looking forward to hearing from you.
A premium domain name is a domain that has characteristics above the norm. Such characteristics could be strong commercial appeal, short, catchy, keyword rich, brandable, generic, descriptive, memorable, and appealing.
A premium domain name can help your business achieve instant brand recognition, significantly lower marketing expenses, maximise brand recall, and accelerate value creation.
Premium domain names are suitable for established or funded businesses and funded startups. The acquisition cost of a Premium Domain, whether it is secured via cash only transaction, equity agreement or other creative solutions, is oftentimes not suitable for side and hobby projects, personal blogs, and ideas that are not market-tested.
