We're
just about done
clearing the decks here before
heading across Florida to Miami
Beach to get settled in for this
week's 10th anniversary edition of
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference that gets underway with
pre-show cabana networking Wednesday
morning at the fabulous Fontainebleau
Hotel.
This
evening show co-founder Howard
Neu told me, "The cabanas
at the Oasis Pool will
be the scene of some heavy wheeling
and dealing for the

While
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. has a busy social
calendar of their own in place
(highlighted by a huge Masquerade
Dinner and Ball at the
Fontainebleau Halloween night)
Howard noted the show's
location also leaves the door open
for lots of free lance partying.
"
The
night life on South Beach has
been heralded around the
world," Neu noted, adding
"the world famous night club, CLUB
LIV, is right there in
the Fontainebleau where the
stars have come out to play and
dance the night away. We
have also arranged special rates at
the Fontainebleau Spa for
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. attendees"
If
you live in South Florida and
can't make the whole show, there
is another enticement - a lower
priced day pass that will
allow your to bring
your spouse or significant other to
the big Masquerade Ball and Dinner.
You can get yours by calling Howard
at 954-662-1816. I'm
looking forward to seeing you in
person in Miami Beach this week!

One
of the things I wanted to
finish before heading out to
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. was a series of
three newsletters
analyzing domain sales for the
first three quarters of this
year (a topic I will also be
talking about during a couple
of sessions at the
conference). I finished the
last of those this evening and
it is going out to our free newsletter
subscribers right now.
You can also read all three
newsletters online - one
detailing each quarter of the
year to date - Q1-2014,
Q2-2014
and Q3-2014.
There
is a lot of good news in those
reports with the aftermarket
posting |
|
big
increases in both total $
volume and median sales prices
compared to the same quarters
last year. One tidbit -
for the first nine months of
the year to date, total $
volume is up nearly 20%.
I
also detailed this year's
sales to date in the latest
edition of the new Domain
Name Wire podcast
during an interview conducted
by DNW Founder Andrew
Allemann. Before we got
into that subject Andrew had
me tell the story of how I got
into this business and the
kinds of domains that
attracted me. Give it a listen
or better yet download
it and listed to
it on your way to
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.!
I
will of course have daily
coverage from T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
for you in this column
starting Wednesday. The show
continues through the Farewell
Breakfast Sunday morning
(November 2). You can check
out the full
show agenda here. |
