How to Leverage Social Media for Domain Reselling Marketing

With roughly 60% of people worldwide and 93% of internet users currently using social media, it’s no wonder that social platforms have become an integral way to interact with businesses.¹ However, when brands fail to leverage social platforms to engage with customers, they miss out on many consumers who use social media to learn about new products and inform their purchasing decisions. Fortunately, with the right strategy, modern brands can harness the growing social media landscape to engage with customers directly.

As a domain reseller, you can attract users to your digital platform by building your presence on social media. A robust social media strategy can provide a foundation for your overall marketing plan, helping you educate your audience about your domain offerings and drive new users to your business. 

The Power of Social Media for Domain Resellers

By leveraging social media to promote your domain services, you can enjoy benefits such as:

• Increased Visibility – You can use multiple social media platforms, from Instagram to TikTok, to promote your domain offerings across various target audiences.

• Engagement and Interaction – The interactive element of social media keeps customers engaged, allows you to build a relatable brand image, and fosters authentic customer relationships.

• Competitive Edge – Building an active social media brand fosters customer loyalty and creates a digital community, helping you remain competitive in a highly connected digital world.

• Measurable Results – Social media analytics empower you to gain insight into customer trends and better measure and optimize your marketing strategies. 

Leveraging Social Media for Domain Reselling: Top Considerations

Part of crafting a social media strategy that promotes your domain services involves producing awareness-based, shareable content educating on the value of domain names. To that end, consider using the following techniques to curate a social media presence that attracts interest to your domain name offerings:

1. Create Your Campaign For Your Domains

Use social media to highlight valuable domain names in your portfolio. By spotlighting domain extensions for particular niches, such as .CAFE or .PHOTOS, you can more easily connect with and attract social media users within those communities. 

Creating campaigns that speak to the interests of different social media groups can help you: 

• Demonstrate the value of domain names to new audiences
• Expand your customer base

Support your domain-specific campaigns with use cases and relatable examples that showcase how custom domain names have fostered success for your customers.

2. Look at Examples of Other Registrars and See What Other People Are Doing

Analyze and incorporate the most successful content trends and elements into your online interactions. 

In particular, pay attention to which posts from other domain registrars and resellers resonate with audiences, and try to emulate those posts in your content. Along with the content itself, you should also consider: 

• How frequently do competitors post
• Where they post
• What audience do they target 
• How they respond to messages and comments from their followers

For instance, Name.com has carved a niche by generating educational and valuable content specifically tailored to new, aspiring small business owners. This content focus helps them build unparalleled credibility within this specific target audience.

3. Collaborate with Influencers and Industry Experts

Influencers and content creators have unlocked the power of social media to cultivate authentic connections with their followers and promote their brands and others. Collaborating with digital marketing influencers allows you to build off this trust to promote your domain services. 

Leverage their platforms to highlight their experience with securing a personalized domain name to boost their brand. You can even seek out influencers within a specific niche to promote certain domains in your portfolio, such as working with a travel influencer to share the power of a .TRAVEL domain extension.
