RevenueDirect Gets A New Parent Company: SEDO
Posted on | February 24, 2009 | 4 Comments
I just received a very interesting e-mail from RevenueDirect, a domain parking company that I use sparingly. Apparently, Sedo now owns RevenueDirect. Not that great of news to me since for some reason Sedo has left a sour taste in my mouth late-2006 after trying to squeeze out “acceptable” customer service from them. Business is business, however, and I’ll be watching to see watch happens with these two companies and if monetization will get better with this merger (apparently there will be a transition to Sedo’s platform. Hopefully they can improve their hideous templates). Check out the e-mail for further informations (there’s also a FAQ included if you scroll down enough).
Here’s the e-mail:
Dear Sammy Ashouri,
As a valued RevenueDirect client, I would like you to be among the first to know that RevenueDirect now has a new parent company, Sedo, the leading international domain parking and marketplace platform. By joining forces with Sedo, we will soon be able to offer RevenueDirect clients the opportunity to gain new parking advantages and award-winning marketplace solutions, while continuing to deliver the benefits you already receive through RevenueDirect’s customized services and tools.
At RevenueDirect, we believe that keeping the best interest of our clients at the forefront of our business decisions allows us to move forward confidently in the direction of these new opportunities. As General Manager of RevenueDirect, I will be working directly with Sedo’s team of monetization experts to personally ensure that you continue to experience the highest level of customer service and product satisfaction throughout all upcoming initiatives and alignments with Sedo.
Sincerely,
John Smrekar

Hopefully we get integrated with their aftermarket… I need to sell more to compensate for the big drop in parking….

I am very glad I don’t have any domains parked wit hRevenueDirect as I absolutely hate Sedo for the way they not only held on to my domains but ignored my emails to help me.

I’m just dead curious about the templates. Will RD users have to start logging into Sedo.com now? I would really like to see how the transition is going to be handled, especially with many people claiming they haven’t been paid by RD in a while.

Not sure if sedo is going to be able to influence parking earnings though.
