It’s hard to believe that in today’s world that people even bother putting phone numbers in their ads. I can barely tell you my wife’s number let alone remember some random phone number on the side of a truck. Even worse, the phone numbers in radio ads. You think I have a pen lying around to write the number down? Forget 1-800 numbers. I can’t remember if its 800 or 888. No just give me a memorable company name or domain name.
Even if its just a memorable name I can at least remember that and I’ll just Google it. Even better, give me the name AND the domain name. Then I’ll definitely find you. But I can’t Google or type in something I don’t remember.
A good example is all the landscapers that come in to the nursery. There are hundreds of them. They all have similar names. H&H Landscaping, LS Lawn Maintenance. They all sound the same. Except one. Eddie. Eddie is actually Eduardo. He is a larger than life guy. About 280 lbs and always smiling. His trucks, his shirts, everything has a big yellow sign with a super memorable name on it. I would say what it is but as I was typing this out I saw that the name of his company is up for expired auction at Godaddy. People already remember the name of his company more than any other landscaping company simply because of his name. He doesn’t have a website on the sign but a stupid number that nobody remembers. So every time we refer him to customers we have to Google the number. And I think the only reason he is the top referred landscaper is because his personality and his memorable name.
I’m hoping I win the auction so I can give him the domain. Undoubtedly he will get more business. Because that’s what good domains do. They pay for themselves by giving you more business. Here are today’s domains. Hope you find a good one. Click to see the latest price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Shane you make a great point here. A few years back I tried to talk my friend into using a more brandable domain and company name for his electric company. His was JN Electric, our other friends were CJ Electric, and another was MC Plumbing and Electric. None of them could get those domain names because they were all already taken so they resorted to picking their middle initials or putting the JN at the end or something that added more confusion each time. I told him he should make it Big John (or Johns) Electric b/c everyone called him Big John. He said it was too silly and didn’t sound professional. It might not be the best example, but Big Johns Electric is a whole lot more memorable then JN Electric or any combination of letters IMO.
Blandscaping.com is taken. Hopefully not be a landscaper…
