BrokerageFirm.com Announces Exclusive Sale of WindowTreatments.com

BrokerageFirm.com announced that WindowTreatments.com domain name is listed exclusively for sale with their company.

 

You can read the press release after the jump:

“Descriptive, category owning domain names have historically been the most valuable properties on the Internet. With the inventory for premium .com domains becoming so scarce, domains like WindowTreatments.com will only appreciate in value over time, allowing built-in asset protection on the buyer’s upfront investment. Last week, Brokeragefirm.com announced that WindowTreatments.com is listed exclusively for sale with their firm.

The commercial window treatments market profits are over $1 billion dollars per year. As there is no company with a dominant market share in the industry, the owner of WindowTreatments.com brand has the unique opportunity to become the the leader in this category.

With over 550,000 searches each month, WindowTreatments.com offers an unprecedented branding and e-commerce opportunity that is highly marketable and easy to remember. The domain is not only short in length, but spelled accurately and commonly used from an SEO perspective.

“Recovering housing markets and increasing disposable income have brought window treatment revenue back to positive growth according to an IBIS World Market Research Report. As housing starts skyrocket over the five years to 2018, this growth will strengthen, but online competition will still pose a threat!” says Gylije Veljic, Senior Website Consultant representing the sale. “It’s not often that a domain name of this caliber becomes available for sale, and we are honored to have an exclusive on WindowTreatments.com.”

For additional information or offer guidelines on WindowTreatments.com, please contact Gylije Veljic directly at 312-801-7131 or gylije(at)brokeragefirm(dot)com.”
