Here are some tips for naming a business

Here are some tips for naming a business:

1. Create a contest to name your business. This has been done with logo redesigns and works quite well, especially to get your name out.

2. Use easy to remember words, this is so that people can easily remember the name.

3. Use objects that represent your organization. For example, an arc or pillar can represent strong business integrity

4. Don't use triple 'AAA' for business placement, consumers may think your business is a scam.

5. Create a mood board. These are images cut out from magazines, websites, and other resources, placed on a board, that depict your business and what your business does. Anything goes for a mood board.

6. Create a word board. Similar to a mood board, a word board has words instead of pictures.

7. Look at your services and find associated items that you work with or use. For example, if you want to start a garden business, you can look into the different types of trees, or flora names.

8. Look into foreign words. For example, the Japanese word for "plum" is "ume". This is a nice easy word to remember.

9. Talk to a strategic design firm. These people specialize in advertising strategy. Some of the best ideas come from this sort of firm.

10. Keep it simple. This helps when creating a website and giving it a short domain.
