The auto industry transition to digital sales will eventually lead to an
agency model. Dealerships as known will disappear. Dealers that recognize
this shift can position today with an aggressive digital strategy to expand
their business. Our Digital Car Lot marketplace is an opportunity for
dealers, manufacturers, retailers or even banks (create a marketplace for
dealers) to, jointly or individually lead the transition to a global digital
marketplace for everything automotive from parts to insurance and car loans.
Like a great real estate location, the right domain names bring authority,
credibility, legitimacy, memorability and visibility. As a bonus, Domain
names, like real estate and classic art, protect against inflation and can
be resold.
The value of a domain is a function of its profit potential. With that in
mind, what auto retailer would not want to own the Global Domains - New Car
Sales. com and Used Car Sales .com? All 8 Domains can be owned for a one
time cost that is comparable to a nationwide TV advertising campaign or a
few 30 second Super Bowl adds. The annual carrying cost is near zero at
about $20 and unlike real estate their are no annual taxes and insurance.
Imagine the taxes and liability insurance for a multi-million dollar piece
of real estate.
Many major companies own generic exact match domain names. In some cases it
is owned defensively to protect the name from others. The marketing value
isn't being maximized in most cases. When used skillfully, exact match
Domains are the greatest way to assure security and reliability. In 2021
Microsoft purchased Teams.com and will gain those benefits. The right
generic domain will also accelerate traffic and sales for a web site or
marketplace platform. Many generic domain names are common names that are
used routinely in daily language. That is my preference when I purchase a
domain.
I have owned www.UsedCarSales.com since 1996. Then over the years I acquired
additional domain names to form this community marketplace platform. Back in
1996, the only EV I was aware of was Ferdinand Porsche and his 1898 electric
car. I was able to broaden the reach for SEO by using "Alternative Fuel Cars
For Sale". I am a Hydrogen fan.
A group of domain names will magnify the Value of Super-Premium Domain
names. Domain name sales activity is accelerating and prices are increasing.
