For many retailers, Christmas is the most lucrative time of year and represents the opportunity to make significant profit both online and offline.

Hugo Dalrymple-Smith, Director of UK operations at Sedo comments: “At this time of year, many people are looking to purchase the perfect gift for their family and friends, but it’s also a great time for businesses to get their hands on a powerful Christmas domain name. With such seasonal collection of domain names, it’s the perfect time of year to be offering someone the ideal destination address for their Christmas activity.”
Xmas doesn’t have to be too expensive
Dalrymple-Smith continues: “Around Christmas we always see the rise of those prized gifts that everyone wants to get hold of. However, not every domain is like one of Heston Blumenthal’s Christmas Puddings. There are still many strong keyword domains available to purchase, if you know what you’re looking for.”
For example, Christmas-hamper.co.uk was purchased recently for just £200, while giftforchristmas.co.uk and Christmastreelights.co.uk were sold for £650 and £500 respectively. There is also a selection of keyword domain names available now, such as:
Domain Value
Christmaspaper.co.uk – €200
Christmasbooze.co.uk – €200
Christmasfairy.co.uk – £320
Dalrymple-Smith explains: “Domain names offer significant advantages in terms of a businesses pay-per-click and search engine optimisation strategy. Keyword domains related to search terms will often rank highly in natural search listings and receive better click through than paid search campaigns. Such domains also benefit from high levels of natural search traffic and can prove a great source of positively converting and highly relevant traffic.”
