It's been 2 weeks and they haven't even confirmed that In am in the auction let alone promoting my name ! grrrr Agreed, I am concerned at the lack of marketing for the New York show… mostly because I am trying to have my premium name included.

It's time where the auctionners should be actively promoting the names that will be auctionned, contacting potential buyers, ... We already been informed, so ourselves we could also help promote our own names that will do the show. Will not they get a generous 15% commission? For what exactly? Like allways: No promotion, no advertising, ... just waitting possible sales. Porca miseria! I am smiling but that's so true. There is a long time I don’t pest about these live auctions :)

That strategy might have worked in years past, but its not a strategy for today, its short sighted. The real downside is they decrease visibility and credibility of possible .com sales. The real test is if they get proper end-user .com sales made at this auction which is the reason for the commission. If there are no end user sale prices achieved at this NYC venue it will not reflect well on the marketing department. After all, they should be far better positioned to explain to end users the greater value proposition of direct navigation advertising (solicited advertising) compared to TV, radio, newspaper advertising (unsolicited advertising) in this dipping economy.

I tend to doubt it but would be happy to be surprised. Will there be a flowers.mobi moment?

I tend to doubt it but would be happy to be surprised.
