Deep dives
Impact of Payment Plans on Sell-through Rates
Payment plans have been shown to improve sell-through rates by 20 to 25% based on data from Squad Help. This increase in sales can be attributed to the affordability of domains with payment plans, which is especially important in the current economy where entrepreneurs are looking to conserve cash. Squad Help has also introduced an early payoff discount feature, offering buyers a discount if they pay off their domain early. This not only reduces the risk of cancellations but also increases sell-through rates.
Effective use of AI Tools for Domain Investors
Squad Help has developed several AI-powered tools to assist domain investors in finding valuable domain names. The Expired Domains Discovery tool scans expired auctions and closeouts at popular platforms like GoDaddy and provides a shorter list of domains that are more likely to become brands. The Domain Insights tool scores domains on a 10-point scale based on 50 different signals to assess their potential value and sell-through rate. Additionally, the Brand Alignment tool helps buyers find the perfect domain name for their business by analyzing their brand vision and suggesting relevant names.
Optimal Pricing Strategies for Domain Sales
Squad Help conducted tests to determine the impact of pricing on sell-through rates. The data revealed that pricing domains just below psychological price boundaries, such as $5,000 and $10,000, improved sell-through rates compared to pricing slightly above those thresholds. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in sell-through rates between domains priced at $2,000 and just above that level. This highlights the importance of pricing strategies that consider buyer behavior and psychology to maximize sales.
The Power of Remarketing in Domain Sales
Remarketing has proven to be an effective strategy for increasing domain sales. Squad Help utilizes remarketing ads on various platforms like Facebook, Google, and others to stay at the top of potential buyers' minds. Remarketing not only influences buyers who have previously visited a specific domain but also exposes them to other domains they may not have seen before. Approximately 35% of sales have been influenced by these remarketing ads, demonstrating the value of continued brand exposure and easy access to domains.
