    Thumbs up Re: Business name

    i came up with my name so people would remember it. BIG A, short guy. i remember one of my first customers, she asked where is BIG A & when i spoke with her she kind of smiled. i kind of smerked back & took in the job & then took her money. the name has stuck with me & its one that i dont think is possible to forget. BIG A but i am just 5"6 haha! if you have a nicknake that would work well. try to pick a name that stands out.
    they say its good to use your first & last name too but i dislike giving out my last name. also, a shorter name means a shorter web link, which is supposed to = easier to google search + easier for your customers to remember you.

    drink a beer or have a smoke & get your thinking cap on boy!

    hope this helps!

    I`ve been thinking about business names too so I know how hard it is to come up with something original. I`m only going to be doing this on the side. If it grows into more than great by if not I still have a job and this is my hobby.

    Don`t over think it and don`t get overly clever with the name (for some reason a lot of people just don`t get the cleverness)
    Look at business around your area and what they use for their name. Some are easy to remember and some just stick out while others just aren`t too appealing. I`ve been looking and have gotten some good ideas from existing businesses but are still original.

    I spent a long time thinking about mine. Eventually it just came to me and I liked it. Not everyone catches onto the logo right away, but I feel it describes what I do very efficiently. Starting out I just went by my name.

    Re: Business name

    My business name is actually a reference from the Simpons (Mr. Sparkle was some japanese dish detergent homer found with his face on the box)

    Most people have no idea, and they just think it`s funny to have their car cleaned by a guy who calls himself Mr. Sparkle. Which is fine by me and I think it helps them remember the name
