You may find your Brand in this Bucket

When starting a business one of the major decisions you face is the selection of your start-up’s name. You would like to find something memorable for the customers you target and something that they can associate your services and products with. This will help them find you and remember you when they want to buy the the things you are offering.

Your internet address or your domain name as we usually call it, is directly connected to the name of your business. Customers will most of the time assume that your web address is your company name with a “.com” extension at the end. So, finding a business name that can also be registered as a domain name is critical for a profitable web presence.

However, if you actually start looking for the domains you think would be suitable as your business name, you will find out that most of them are not available or at least the “.com” extensions are already taken. Eventually this may turn into a frustrating deal leaving you with limited options.

Need a name for your new business or product?

At BrandBucket you will be able to find unique and hand-picked domain names that have great branding potential. There are no keyword based domains, but brand names that are created using catchy and creative phrases. When you browse the domain name list you will notice that each name has detailed information which will help you determine if it fits your purpose. A description explains the origins of the phrases used and a summary of possible uses is also available to help you with your decision.

To locate your dream brand more quickly, the site offers filtering by price and by category. In case you cannot find the perfect name, BrandBucket suggest you contact them directly for help. Domain names at BrandBucket also come with professionally designed logos, so you don’t have to spend too much time on branding and can focus on your business.

Want to sell your Domain Name?

If you have a registered domain name that you will not be using, you can put it up on sale at BrandBucket. You can open an account and submit as many names as you wish. The names you submit are reviewed before they can go on sale, though. BrandBucket checks whether your domain names fit the standards of their collection – no keyword based names, but chatchy words and memorable phrases. The name you submit also gets a professionally designed logo which is going to be displayed with your listing.

To maintain the quality of the domains offered, BrandBucket charges a one-time fee for listing of approved names. You can have your listings featured on the home page for an extra charge as well. You have complete control over the pricing of your domain including how much the logo designer will get paid. Keep in mind that a consignment fee will apply to cover marketing and selling costs. You can get details about fees and how you can sell your domain at BrandBucket’s website.

Can you design logos?

If you are a designer, BrandBucket offers you the opportunity to help create great brands, earn money and generate more business. You can sign up at BrandBucket as a designer and design logos for the listed domains. Designers are accepted based on space availability and compatibility of their portfolios. Once you are in, you can reserve a name you want to work on and will have 24 hours to submit your creation. You can reserve names depending on the credits you earn from the sale of brands that include your design. When the brand that has your logo sells, you get paid and have the opportunity to connect with the buyer for revisions or more work at your own terms.
