So, somewhere down the rabbit-hole of QUAD office discussions the subject of whether “sharing domain offers on social-media” amounts to the domainer’s version of “kissing and telling” came up. For those of you unfamiliar with the reference, “kissing and telling” alludes to making something public that might otherwise need to remain private. (At least if you want “it” to happen again.)
The discussion was quite animated; but was filled with some thought-provoking commentary. It prompted most of the team to ponder whether the idea of sharing too much on social-media applies to the domain space. Of course every domainer has the right to do what works for them; but it’s worth considering whether sharing in this case is truly “caring” or “daring”. Especially in the public sphere.
For the record, QUAD doesn’t disclose offers for a few reasons. One of which being that potential clients and competitors frequent the same social-media channels we do. To us, disclosing an offer is like getting the phone number of an attractive person, running to the street, waving it around and yelling “look what I got”. (Someone in the office discussion actually used this exact example.)
All in all, QUAD isn’t against the concept of posting domain offers online or asking others whether they should be accepted or declined. It’s just not our style. Hats off to domainers or companies this approach works for though. We just wanted to take a moment and share some of our internal discussion with others in the domain space and get some different views. Also, there’s a friendly wager on the table.
