Bricks & Mortar – Interesting Use Of .Com

January 12, 2 Comments

I was driving in Richmond today and noticed this massive domain name plastered on the side of the building. What a great use of a domain name! Look how big this thing is compared to a car – you can see it for miles away.

Being the domainer, I had to park and take a photo. The strange thing is, their website doesn’t even have a picture of the building. You’d think you were almost dealing with an online mailorder company.

At the top of the site is this quote – “When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!” – Brian O’Rourke.

Maybe they got the idea to make those HUGE letters over a few bottles of red wine?

And it was really smart of them to use 2 colors to break up the words.

Why don’t you submit this to Aaron Goldman’s blog over at:

that is a monster sign.
Would it be a good url or a bad url ? seems like a reallyreallylongdomaintome.com
the sign would have been about 50% cheaper with a shorter domain . . .and it’s hard to remember.
Getwinesdirect.com
getwinedirect.com
getwines.com
getwine.com
winesdirect.com
winedirect.com
all potential leaks of traffic
