XXX Goes Live and This Is How We Push It

We’re the only Irish company offering the new .xxx domain name extension, as we’re the only Irish company that has  ever been accredited by ICANN as a domain name registrar.

So how on earth does an Irish company promote .xxx domain names?

I guess the answer is – very carefully.

So here are a few of the images that we’ve come up with and that we will be using to promote .xxx domain names

XXX Domains - Naughty or Nice

XXX Domains - Naughty or Nice

With .xxx launching in December a Christmas inspired image was inevitable and the “naughty or nice” concept lends itself to .xxx pretty well.

How about this one?

Expose Yourself to XXX

Expose Yourself to XXX

It’s a little “tongue in cheek”, but I doubt anyone could find it offensive.

And the last one, of the current batch, is this one:

Grab your XXX

Grab your XXX

Based on our previous experiences with imagery of scantily clad people (male and female) this might work for a lot of women, though we could be wrong.

UPDATE. Based on feedback we thought we’d throw in one with a slightly different theme:

 

sticks and stones - xxx domain names

sticks and stones - xxx domain names

 

UPDATE 2 – here are a couple of more

It might be the niche for you

It might be the niche for you

All Undressed and Nowhere to Go?

All Undressed and Nowhere to Go?

Update 3: And probably what will be the last set for a while

Expose Yourself to the world of XXX

Expose Yourself to the world of XXX

Expose Yourself to the world of XXX 2

Expose Yourself to the world of XXX 2

So what do you think?

Are these images striking the right sort of balance?

Are they too risque?

Too tame?

What could we do better?

Edit: Updated with some typos removed :)
