                                thing that they say sets them apart from the
                                crowd is a focus on selling
                                domain names as brand building tools for business
                                end users. Founder and CEO David Clements
                                said, "End-user marketing and sales is
                                about building relationships with business
                                owners and their key decision makers. According
                                to the Bureau
                                of Labor Statistics, businesses with
                                less than 500 employees account for 99%
                                of the independent enterprises in the US. When
                                domainers refer to the term end-users, they
                                really mean these businesses and to sell to them
                                you’ve got to build rapport first. Only then
                                can you educate them on the value of using a
                                relatively new asset class for branding and
                                marketing."

                                        Clements said, “I’m very excited to
                                        be partnering with my brother David on
                                        this new venture. Brannan’s offers
                                        additional value and opportunity to
                                        domainers and especially to my current

                                        It gives me another tool to market
                                        domains without getting things too
                                        overcomplicated or watered down.” |  David
                                added that he and Toby will also work
                                with all of the other auction houses and brokers
                                in the industry to give sellers the maximum
                                possible exposure for their domains. David
                                noted, "Our
                                first priority is to speak to domain investors.
                                If you own or manage a large portfolio and we
                                haven’t met or spoken or emailed in the past
                                two months, please reach out to me at your
                                earliest convenience. I’d love to help you
                                sell some domains at our upcoming first
                                auction and I can also talk to you further

                                first auction David referred to is a week-long
