Sedo to Broker Sale of Jets.com Domain Name

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sedo, the leading online domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced that it has the exclusive rights to broker the domain name, Jets.com. The address, which was formerly used by one of the largest private jet brokers in the U.S., presents a solid investment opportunity for a travel industry company in terms of attracting more customers and increasing profits.

According to Forrester Research, online leisure, unmanaged business, and managed business travel spending will increase to $117 billion in 2009 and reach $158 billion by 2013. Owning an ideal domain such as Jets.com can help the right company tap into this huge revenue pool, because of the emergence of direct navigation as one of the most effective online marketing strategies today.

“As travel companies continue to explore creative ways to maximize their web presence, this premium generic domain presents an excellent opportunity to expand their reach and ultimately bring more customers to their doorstep,” said Jeremiah Johnston, chief operating officer and general counsel, Sedo. “Because more and more consumers are bypassing the search engine and typing in terms relevant to their searches directly into the web browsers, this domain will generate tremendous natural type-in traffic that can be redirected to a company’s primary website.”

Buyers who are interested in acquiring the highly valuable domain name, Jets.com, may contact Matt Savage, domain broker, at matt.savage@sedo.com or by calling 617-499-7247.
