Finding Business Name Suggestions
The key to finding
business name suggestions is easier than you might
think!
When I initially decided to start a
business, I knew that there would be a lot to it. You
can't just read a book on how to start a business and
expect to know it all – there is just too much involved.
There is incorporating, hiring the
right people, developing a business
plan, finding investors, getting retail space – you get
the idea. However, one thing that I didn't consider, was
finding a suitable business name.
It took me months of fruitless business name
search before I really had the slightest idea of what
I was doing. I got business name suggestions from everyone I
met, but none of them were really very good.
I thought about hiring a company to get
business name suggestions but this seemed like
a silly idea, but then one of my friends and partners told me
to think about it in a different way.
He informed me that the business name
suggestion is just part of the broader business branding and
marketing strategy. Your business is not just about the
products you sell, the people you employ, or even the physical
location.
The business is more
about how people see it. Getting the right suggested business
names is the first step to projecting the right corporate
image.
The key to business name suggestions is to
not think of them in isolation. It is very true that once in a
blue moon, a brilliant business name suggestion comes along. If
this happens to you, this can be your starting
point.
You can cater the branding strategy, the
slogans, the corporate logos – everything to that particular
business name.
Generally, however, business name
suggestions should be part of a more integrated approach. The
business suggestions that you choose should not exist in
isolation, but as part your overall strategy.
Naming a business is not
only where you start as the business's founder, but also where
the consumer starts. The wrong name and you will get no
business. The right name will be off to a flying start.
In the end, good business name suggestions
sometimes come from the most unlikely people. Our foray with
the advertising and marketing agency was fruitless, and in the
end all we had achieved was to waste several thousand dollars
on nothing.
In desperation, I turned to some very
unlikely people to give me business name
suggestions. Since we would be a distributor of toys,
I turned to my younger son and his friends. They came up with
the perfect cool business name.
