## About

Quickcue is a domain name service provider that focuses on facilitating domain name sales and leasing, particularly through their platform quickcue.com.Founded in 2011 in Chattanooga, US, Quickcue specializes in domain name services. In December 2013, the company was acquired by OpenTable for USD 11.5 mn. Quickcue has executed 2 deals overall, with its latest deal being a Trade Sale.QuickCue specializes in the sale and leasing of domain names, with its core offering centered around the domain quickcue.com. The company facilitates a straightforward purchasing process, allowing clients to acquire domain names for a one-time payment of USD 9,995 or opt for a Lease to Own option at USD 480 per month. This service targets a diverse clientele, ranging from startups to established businesses seeking online brand presence. QuickCue's operations extend beyond the local market, serving customers in various geographical regions that require domain acquisition solutions. The emphasis on secure transactions and hassle-free transfers further enhances the appeal of their services, ensuring a seamless experience for end users.QuickCue's revenue is generated primarily through the sale and leasing of domain names, structured around direct transactions with individual clients and businesses. For instance, a typical transaction involves a customer paying the full price of USD 9,995 for immediate ownership of the domain or selecting a Lease to Own plan, which allows for monthly payments of USD 480 until the total price is met. This transactional framework supports both business-to-business (B2B) and direct-to-consumer interactions. The company also offers additional support services, such as free transaction support, which adds value to the purchasing experience but does not alter the core pricing structure of their domain offerings.Post-acquisition by OpenTable in December 2013, Quickcue plans to further enhance its domain name offerings and expand into new geographic markets. The company intends to leverage the resources and expertise of OpenTable to innovate its service delivery and reach a broader customer base. Specific growth initiatives are currently in development, aimed at improving customer experience and facilitating easier domain transactions. Plans for these developments are expected to roll out in the coming years, aligning with the support received from the funding secured during the acquisition.
