IncSpring: The Future of Domain Sales?
I discovered IncSpring a few days ago on Twitter and quickly checked out their website to see what the buzz was all about. IncSpring is a community of graphic designers who create “brands” for sale, beautiful logo designs with fictional company names. Occasionally a brand for sale on IncSpring will come packaged with a domain name.
Matching up a quality domain name with a well designed logo really has potential. Unfortunately, many of the domain names graphic designers choose to use are not the best quality.
An example would be, “Alidocious.com” which is currently listed with a pretty logo featuring an umbrella and stars. While this is creative (Mary Poppins reference) it is not a functional or user friendly domain name.
I would love to connect with a great logo designer (have a few in mind already) to match up with some high quality .COM names to be listed on IncSpring.
IncSpring is a new site still in beta, so if you do sign up and start posting your brands for sale, don’t expect them to sell the next day. Over the coming weeks and months I expect IncSpring to draw more traffic and more potential brand buyers.
Visit IncSpring.com now if you’re in the market for a great brand or interested selling your own.
What do you think about IncSpring and it’s potential as a domain sales venue? Please leave a comment below.

I think it’s a great idea. However, how successful can it really be? How many people are searching the internet looking to spend $2k on a brand?
I’d like to know if they have plans on getting end users to visit their site and spend the money. After all, as has been discussed before, end users don’t exactly frequent domain auctions or sites. Why would this be different?

I think this is a great and well executed idea. Brings closer together all parties involved in brand creation, end-users, domainers, grapic designers ..etc. Dan Warner, from Fabulous, in one of his analysis in the past, mentioned that domain buyers are not looking for window shopping experience, now this surely will put this idea to a good test.
Good Luck IncSpring.

Any chance for a domainer to break out from the traditional domainer haunts and get exposure for their names/brands is a GOOD thing. I’m signing up now…!
Time for us to don a new (yet another!) hat and cast our domains as brands… and SeeHowFarWeCanGo (.com) Sorry Mark, LOL :)

This is a great idea. If IncSpring can come up with fresh ideas, they will surely be swarmed with potential clients.

Brilliant idea for new and small businesses! Branding is an important part of marketing, and having the ‘right’ look from the outset can only be a positive!
