Tips On Choosing A Name For Your Business

Check out if a business name already exists. Wouldn’t it be a pain if you’ve already decided on what to name your business and find out it’s already taken? In most state websites, a business filing agency is there for you to check online if the business name already exists.

However, it doesn’t mean that if a business name doesn’t appear on the state’s website means that the business is not yet taken. Some businesses may operate under a fictitious name, better known as DBAs. In this case, you may check the DBA registrations if the business name you’re thinking of is already taken. As a first step, try Googling the brand name you’re thinking about as a quick check to avoid wasting time.

Uniqueness is the key. If you want your business to stand out, it may be time to consider to name your business with something unique. You may start with your name like Randy’s, John Oliver’s, Todd’s, Kyle’s or family name if it’s a family business like The Smiths (which also sound like an 80s band which is hitting two birds with one stone!), Thompsons, Williams, among others. Other ideas include personal experiences like the place where you met your special someone or an event that is memorable to you or your business partners. Remember, the more unique your business name is, the more likely people will recall your business.

Stick with your passion. Maybe the name you’re looking for really resides with your passion for your business. For instance, the topic of this article – hookah, you may want to name it anything related to hookah like Pipe Dream (Which you may have already encountered earlier) and others which we suggested in this article. This strategy lets you focus on what’s at hand and what you will be working on.

Location-based naming. If your target market is centered into your own community, why not name it after the place?! Take Cisco which actually took its name from San Francisco.

Repetition Brand recall is what most marketers use to promote their brands on almost any medium they can use. It’s widely believed by marketers that a message must be heard at least 7 times before consumers will remember it. Think of big brands like Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Arby’s among others. How many times have you seen their commercials?
