Most of you know Jennae Signature Design as a full service graphic design firm -- logos, business cards, postcards, ad design, fashion, etc. But as anyone who has ever worked for themselves knows, sometimes business will get slow. In fact, this very fact is what stops many people from going into business for themselves: fear of the days when no work is coming in and the bills still have to get paid. In an attempt to diversify the services JSD offers, solidify our growth and maximize our earning potential, we have begun to invest in domain names. This may seem out of sync with the idea of graphic design, but generating URLs and web addresses that have not already been snapped up by one of the millions of websites on the internet requires as much as, if not more, creative effort as what we do every day. And it has the potential to be very profitable. Think of a domain name as virtual real estate -- a prime piece of property can sell in the millions. Take business.com, which sold for more than $7 million. Of course, there are very few business.coms, but there are many other domain names that can net anywhere from 3 to 6 figures on resale. We have a modest portfolio right now, but the key is quality, not quantity. We are sitting on some gems like: www.steryo.com - Can you think of a better brand for a Web 2.0-era music site? It is obvious enough to generate interest with just enough sass in an alternate spelling to identify it as in touch with its techonological future. www.intensesales.com - This can work for just about any type of business, from insurance or car sales, to a domain name broker, coupon registry or auction website. www.tapfinger.com - In an era when social networking websites are the most popular way to keep in touch with friends (think MySpace, FaceBook, or hi5), tapfinger.com could be the next big thing. And trust me when I tell you that social networks generate MILLIONS in advertising revenue. www.WiiDen.com - Consider this -- Nintendo introduced the Wii gaming console before the 2006 Christmas shopping season hit. They were sold out for weeks after people rushed to buy what proved a superior console to Sony's PlayStation 3. We are heading into Christmas 2007. Good luck finding a Wii on store shelves. It is the Super Nintendo of its time, and everyone is talking about it. WiiDen would be a great domain for a Wii reseller, accessories store or even just a great forum. If you are interested in buying any of these domain names, or inquiring about any of our others, email jennae@jennaesignaturedesign.com or call 678-943-0540. SPECIAL OFFER: If you purchase any of our domain names for $5000 or more apiece, we will give you one free corporate identity (includes logo, business card and letterhead design) per domain purchased, up to 5 domains. Up to a $5000 value if you purchase 5 or more domains! Until next time ...
