Fresh domain parking firm adds a charitable twist
Fresh domain parking firm offers charity donation and no cost brokerage services.
A domain industry vet has started a fresh parking firm with a charitable twist.
Jakob Knightly, formerly with NameDrive, is launching Rikimu.com next week.
At a high level, Rikimu is a domain parking service with a charitable element: the firm donates 5% of its share of revenue to charity.
Right now you can choose from three different charities. Two of them are domain industry favorites: The Water School and Mike Mann’s Grassroots.org.
It’s a nice perk, yet the nominal charity donation itself probably isn’t enough to get people to switch parking firms. (Although a similar charity offer got a lot of people to buy Ethos water at Starbucks.)
But Rikimu has some other interesting features. A key one is free domain brokerage services in which Rikimu will handle negotiations and not charge a commission.
For domainers more interested in maximizing sales inquiries than domain parking revenue, the firm offers sales-focused landers such as this one:
A number of domain parking firms have come onto the scene in the past two years, and Rikimu has some features to make it worth a look.
