Rick Schwartz had to go through the hoops of a UDRP process for Queen.com<\/strong><\/a>, in order to show its potential buyer that he meant business.<\/p>\n

While quoting seven figures might seem excessive to some, the long term benefits of owning the domain that matches your brand can be substantial.<\/p>\n

Frands Jepsen, the owner of Danish flower company, Queen.dk, didn’t expect a quote of $2 million dollars, and his response to Rick Schwartz was “Are you kidding me?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Strangely enough, I recently sent a five figure quote for a domain to another Danish company, that came back with “You can’t be serious?”<\/em><\/p>\n

When I asked them to allocate a budget for this short, two word domain, or seek an alternative elsewhere, their response was that “it’s not a matter of budget.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And this is the key to the domain sales kingdom.<\/p>\n

These types of responses aren’t related to the ability of the buyer to define a budget for a domain name, they are linked to the overall attitude<\/strong> towards the acquisition of intangible, digital assets.<\/p>\n

In Europe and elsewhere, many types of businesses seem to find no justification for spending a lot of money – typically, cash<\/em> – on anything that’s not a car or a house.<\/p>\n

Domain names are digital property, and the proliferation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are changing the approach to digital valuation fast.<\/p>\n

Brand specialists, marketing professionals, and digital asset consultants have the ability and authority to repave the road to domain valuation, educating their clients about the true valuation of domain names.<\/p>\n

Domain industry publications, and conferences alike have the ability and the obligation to educate the corporate masses and the executives running them.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, five years or less down the road, such incidents will become obsolete, leading to bigger and better domain sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
