You mean shopping for new "Domain Name / Web Hosting Services", not just renewing existing?

If you would consider buying new... changing services if you found a better deal, or adding another domain name or something... it would still apply. Generally the question applies to whether or not you are in that market. Should an advertiser consider you? If you buy web domains and hosting... the answer to that is likely a yes.

If name-brand clothes counts as 'designer clothing', then sure. Otherwise no.

Are we talking WalMart name brand... IE: Faded Glory, Puritan, No Boundaries, or Metro 7...? Then...No

Are we talking ... Gap, American Apparel, Abercrombie and Fitch, Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Armani, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Polo, Banana Republic...
If you are Brand /  Label Conscious... Then go ahead and answer yes.

Even if it's something Like JNCO, Tommy Hilfiger, Stussy, FUBU, Mecca... whatever...

If you have some favorite brands... Go ahead and mention them...

Carharts... ? Orvis? LL Bean...?

I chose digital camera, handbags/accessories, big ticket furniture items, expensive jewelry, and kitchen appliances.  I think that's all, I'll edit if I missed any.

Anyway, here are brands I like.

Handbags:  Coach
Sunglasses:  Ray Ban, Prada, Chanel, Bvlgari, Miu Miu, Versace (In our business, we classify them as accessories.  I certainly won't purchase all of these brands, those are just the most likely).

Big ticket furniture items:  I may purchase a new bed frame, probably from Pier 1 or Pottery Barn.

Expensive jewelry:  This is what I consider to be "fine" jewelry, as opposed to fashion or costume jewelry.  I usually purchase at least a few items per year as gifts.  No particular brand, probably from Macy's. 

Kitchen appliances:  KitchenAid.

Clothing.....   It's about quality, triple stitched jeans... shit like that.  I don't care what the tag says.  Sometimes names and quality are synonymous.  Sometimes not.

Domain name is big one for me. I plan on buying one as soon as I can find good hosting.

you could always consider godaddy.freetalklive.com

I'm only going to leave that up for a very short time longer... I really don't trust the provider for these particular CPM ads... I have a feeling he's a shady dude.
