One of the neat sales tactics offered by Squadhelp is the price increase notification sellers can add to their landing page. Sellers who utilize this tool will show a message on their landing page that informs visitors the price will be increasing. This is a smart tactic from this innovative domain sales platform.

While I have not used Squadhelp, I agree that this can be a smart tactic. In fact, I manually use a similar tactic in my negotiations with prospective buyers. When discussing the price of a domain name, I will say something like this:

For many of my domain names listed for sale, I have a “Make Offer” option next to the buy it now price. Domain name pricing isn’t science for me, and if I miss the mark by a considerable amount, a prospective buyer may simply choose an alternative domain name. I rely on domain name sales to fund the majority of my business, so I would prefer to give someone the option to make an offer rather than pass over an overpriced domain name.

Darpan Munjal, Founder of Squadhelp (a branding agency with a focus on domain names), shared an observation that domain investors may wish to consider when listing their domain names for sale:

I had a nice five figure sale to close out last month. It was the kind of name I can easily replace, and in fact, I have been working on that. I have been buying similar types of names inexpensively, figuring if one startup paid five figures, others would probably do so, too.

Although it didn’t cost me much money, this wasn’t the best move.

After I sold the domain name, the nameservers changed to GoDaddy default servers from my Dan.com servers. The Whois record was private, like all new GoDaddy transfers. I had no idea who bought the domain name or how it would be used. This afternoon, I checked on the domain name to see if the buyer is using it yet.
