Finding Business Name Suggestions

The key to finding business name ideas is to think outside the box! 

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 ideas 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.
