I have stated several times that your reply to an email offer is Key! You need to be different then what everybody else does. You have one great shot at making your point and most people fail with a short 2 or 3 line reply with really nothing that "sells" the domain. I mean, this is Your Shot at Selling your virtual real estate and you have to show your interested party that the interested domain IS the one!
You can see my Hype and be Different post here if you didn’t get a chance to read that.
The following email reply is what I sent out to back up what I said! It took me about 10 minutes to put together the facts. I backed up my price and proved this domain is the Perfect Domain in several ways. The only thing I forgot and wish I would of put in, was a time frame the offer was open which Stephen Douglas suggested and is also a good idea. Here is my email reply to an offer for OrganicPrices.com .
"Hello William,
Thank you for your interest in OrganicPrices.com . I guess I do not have to tell you about the boom in "Organic" everything that is taking over the world but I do want to provide you with some facts about the domain name.
I watched a program on Oprah last week and it compared Organic farms to Standard farms. In the end, it all came down to Prices for the organic items. Prices on organic items were all slightly higher but not overly that much higher than what non-organic items were. But people were clearly interested in Organic Prices.
Organic food prices are expected to surpass $25 Billion in 2008, which is up from the $1 Billion in 1990 and the $20 Billion last year. Organic foods continue to be the fastest growing sector with a rise of about 20% since 2006.
OrganicPrices.com is simply the best domain name for Organic Prices. It "Makes Sense", describes exactly what it serves with no domain name better for Organic Prices. There can and is only one OrganicPrices.com and it matches what people look for on the internet. It is vital to use "natural branding" because you are already providing what your customers are looking for, Organic Prices!
OrganicPrices.com does not restrict you to Only organic "food" prices or organic "coffee" prices or organic "milk" prices etc. OrganicPrices.com allows you to cover them All. You could consider advertising at $2.61 Per Click for "organic milk prices" or the $1.90 Per Click for "organic food prices" with some "catchy term" but the ten’s of thousands spent each month trying to advertising your Organic Prices site would drive anybody crazy. I mean really, all these people want any way is the Organic Prices, so why not just go to OrganicPrices.com!
Our offering price for OrganicPrices.com is $2,480 USD. We use the secure and bonded escrow services of EscrowDNS.com or Moniker.com . Your email address is the only information needed to get started and the domain name can be in your total control in 24-48 hours or less.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working with you and appreciate your business.
Best Regards,
Jamie Zoch"
