Your Opportunity:

StageHire.com is the best web address and business name for any company within the Stage Hire Business/Industry.

Simply put, it is the most memorable address, it will perform the best on all search engines correctly developed. It passes the 'radio test' with ease and will inspire confidence into clients and future customers that you must be the Number 1 in the business. It also has built in traffic. Visitors looking for Stages to Hire for their event, festival, party, wedding etc.

Some of this traffic is direct navigation, where users type our domain name directly into the browser. Other traffic comes from search engines like Google and Yahoo. If this site is properly developed and grown into a business then this traffic and bult in sales leads, will grow and grow. To date, no promotion or marketing or google adword campaign has taken place. Think of the possibilities.

We are offering a ground floor opportunity for one business to purchase full ownership and rights to our domain name. StageHire.com

It is the first time the domain has been available for sale publicly and is a limited time opportunity. We registered the domain back in the day and had a vision for the site and business that we still have. The defacto destination for everything stagehire. For lead generation and outsourcing, supplying contracts on commission basis to a few hand selected companies within the industry, globally.

We manage a number of businesses and simply put do not have the time presently to pursue this business plan. We are therefore inviting offers from established Stage Hire companies or new startups to acquire the dream domain and company name.

For small companies we would suggest this domain name would likely be out of your budget or possibly be too big a name to live up to. Having said that, there may be small companies that are extremely experienced and have big aspirations, and have been waiting for a one-off opportunity to become one of the leading lights in the industry.

With the category defining domain name, StageHire.com, and exact search term your clients are looking for, it would certainly be the most powerful way for any company to force their way into this position.

Setting The Stage!

Of course there can only be one owner and once this domain goes to someone within the industry, it likely will never come up for sale again. Why would anyone sell the best category defining domain on the planet in a given industry to a competitor.

If we do not achieve the price we are seeking in 2010, the domain will go into full scale development in conjunction with our business plan and be developed into a Global business in 2011, whereupon we will be seeking partnerships and affiliates.

You can get in touch with us to express an interest and an offer via our contact page. At this moment we do not have a fixed buy it now price in mind, but the guide price for full ownership of the domain name and brand is £75,000 >>> £120,000. (Offers below this range will not be responded to.)

The profit from a few major events or contracts that come from owning this domain after it has been developed further, could pay for the purchase price of StageHire.com in one hit.

Essentially it could have paid for itself within a very short time in the right hands.

When searching 'Stage Hire' on Yahoo, almost 54 million results are returned. Our website is on page 1 of Yahoo, currently positioned 5th. Our site is just a showcase for the domain sale currently.

A fully developed site with products and services, and promoted, would almost certainly climb even higher. Most web surfers don't go past the first page or second page of results. If you're business is way down the search rankings you are essentially invisible to new customers. Think of the lost income.

Currently we are on page 2 of Google for the search term 'stage hire'.

Google returns over 6.5 Million results for this search term.

We are initially contacting UK Stage Hire companies to let them know that StageHire.com is for sale on the open market for the first time in many years.

We are UK based so it makes sense for us to take this approach, along with the fact we would like a UK company to have this opportunity. Obviously, Canada, New zealand, Australia etc. all have a vibrant stage hire industry and use the exact terminology as the British.

.com is the gold mark and is the premier domain extension, a top level domain, and is regarded as such, above the hundreds of new extensions that are flooding the namespace.

No company should be in any doubt to the value this domain may bring to their business, not just in search results, and generic branding, but by being THE name in the Stage Hire industry.

Bear in mind ownership of StageHire.com would enable high search rankings in all country results and an opportunity to expand your business internationally. Potentially Globally.

The performance on the search engines bringing in lead after lead should be the icing on the cake, and should make a huge return on investment, year on year, for life.

There is the additional bonus of branding and memorability. When people attend an event and see a stage with a logo 'joebloggsltd.co.uk' on the side, will they remember it? Of course not. If they see a stage banner with 'StageHire.com', they have a huge chance of remembering this for when they need stage hire.

Consider driving past a lorry on the motorway, are you going to remember 'example1897@btconnect.com' ? like so many companies use? or a long mobile phone number or 0845 number?

Or would you remember 'info@stagehire.com' or 'sales@stagehire.com' ? It says what it does on the tin.

We have explained all the benefits to owning our domain name, and of course many companies visiting this page will know all this information already, we hope!

For any decision makers unaware of the market value of premium domain names, you can visit the following industry resources below. Stating some of the higher reported sales from past years. Again, this is for undeveloped domain names.

PartySupplies.com selling for $360,000 this year is probably a good correlation, although our guide is far lower.

Our time is extremely valuable to us as we are sure yours is too, so we would ask no emails from @gmail.com or @yahoo.com or any other throw away email addresses. Only from established companies or entrepreneurs. We like to know who we are negotiating with so that we dedicate time and resources to the deal in hand.

Further details regarding how to purchase, domain transfer and escrow questions can be discussed with clients making a serious approach. sales@stagehire.com

Disclaimer: We reserve the right to remove the opportunity to purchase StageHire.com at anytime prior to an agreement being reached. The guide price quoted above is a guide. We reserve the right to sell above the guide range quoted depending on the level of interest generated.
