Naming your business can be quite a stressful process for you especially if you are starting a business for the first time. You know that your business name should be something that will last, and if possible, would carry your company’s unique characteristics and value.

“Business name and place – Two elements that point out your business personality”

Truth being told; who wouldn't want to be unique? But experts explain that some businesses are so concerned about making a name in their field that they go ahead and choose names that are extremely weird and scream ATTENTION. However, in most cases, there are better ways to gain your reputation than just putting up a name that is confusing, difficult to pronounce or has a double meaning.

Naming Your Business - Taking Advantage of Linguistic Tricks

  • Let words do the talking - when you choose a name for your business make sure that it is related with your product or services. Do not go for a name that sounds fancy, but speaks totally about something else.
  • Strong yet simple - a good business name should be easy to spell and pronounce. That's right, if you choose a name that is difficult to spell or pronounce, chances are that you are going to miss out on a lot of potential clients. Anytime you have to explain your business name or spell it, you are devaluing your brand.
  • No pun intended – A pun in a business name is quite risky. Avoid using puns in your name and the best way to make sure is to take others' opinion on it.
  • Do not copy - try your best not to copy names from other business. Try to resist from names that remotely matches any other company name.
