Priceless but for sale

[Bionic]

What do you think of the PremiumDomains.com winning slogan?

Worth the $1000? :yes:

 

[PRED]

lol
edit: the title of this thread won it

pretty crap tbh
it tries to be clever but fails.
no offence to premium domains owner but i noticed some of his favourite submissions, didn't read well, in english.
i felt some of the submissions were by people where english wasn't their mother tongue. and it showed.

this tagline is similar to when people say something is 'almost unique'

congrats to winner, but piss poor imho

Daft.

I would say that the word 'but' has a generally natural negative connotation to it in most peoples minds so I think having it in a slogan is not a good thing.

Then there is the punctuation of it. If you add a coma after the priceless as in "priceless, but for sale" you can just start feeling the negative vibe you get. It might be priceless but if it's for sale the might be something wrong with it.

If you take out the coma and leave it as is then it just sounds like you're trying to pimp out your girlfriends backside.

If you wanted to go the priceless route something like "Even priceless can be bought" or "Putting a price on priceless" (though that one might have TM issues I believe) would have been a better way to go.

Just my thoughts

Well put.

"Virtually Priceless" - now that's a tag-line...Francois, what's that worth?

slogans dont really matter anyways

he had 500+ to choose and probly just went with a random one at the end of the day from a list of top 10 or 20

was a fun contest tho

 

[stewie]

good contest, nice promo ...

:yo:

 

[newvista]

A branding mistake, a contradiction in a very childlike way, almost as if English is not the owners first language, he should do him/herself a favour and choose another one. It reminds me of a sign I once saw in Athens ' Genuine antiques, made on the premises '

 

[stevo]

"Priceless... Yet for sale"

Might have been better

 

[DN BROKER]

i dont like the slogan either... Premium Domains deserves more!

i like this one which was chosen as one of the 3

Don't Settle for Less.

 

[Bionic]

Looks like the nays have it. I didn't think much of it for 2 seconds when I saw it,
then I thought it was pretty clever. It's a good description of domains, since they
are all unique.

 

[democrat]

I tried to enter but then thought against it when the bigger I thought the bigger picture through.

 

[BLazeD]

Shit slogan

 

[Compassion]

grammatically speaking there needs to be a comma with the word but, but, you know. congrats

 

[Melly]

I don't like it at all.

A very awful slogan IMO. There seemed to be a lot better out there.

I can sort of see where the slogan is coming from, but I echo some of the other views in this thread in that it seems like whoever picked it doesn't have English as a first language.

May as well have had "Priceless to someone, but not to me - so please come and buy it"

Don't Settle For Less would have got my vote, since it actually sounds like the domains being sold are decent.

 

[Onward]

Of the ones he had with a 'star' next to...it is one of the worst - It really cheapens the brand IMO. If I had to go with that slogan I would take Stevo's suggestion and change 'but' to 'yet'.

But it was a good contest...a lot of fun.

 

[petrosc]

I agree with Onward/stevo - replace but with Yet
