Marketing a Home Business Starts with the Name

Choosing the Right Name for Your Work at Home Business

The name of your work at home business is pretty important. What’s in a name? Well, people create pictures and imagery when they hear the name of a business. You want your name to create positive thoughts and imagery. Here are some tips for choosing the right name for your work at home business.

Give yourself time to come up with the right one – A lot of people get in a hurry because they’re excited. They want to get started right away. They end up jumping on a name that they might not be happy with because they don’t allow themselves time to come up with the name that they will truly like.

Which thoughts and feelings does the name you choose for your work at home business need to convey? Do you want to express feelings of wealth and success? What if you’re in the cosmetics business? You will probably want to express feelings of beauty and class.

Choosing the right name can be extremely important. Think about what people are going to feel when they hear the name of your business. Is it a name that will make them curious enough to check it out? Is it boring, or something they probably won’t care to look into? This is a very important part of choosing the right name for your work at home business.

Come up with more than one name – Make it a goal to try and come up with ten or so names that you could use for your company. This will help you brainstorm, and will lead you to find a great name for your business.

Let’s use a dessert type business for an example. This company has the finest sweets that you can buy. Here are some examples for names that might work. Look at each name and see what kind of thoughts and feelings it conveys. Sweet Things, The Cookie Company, Better Bites, Sweet Sensations, Taste of Heaven, Creamy Confections, or Oven Magic.

Do you see how there can be a multitude of different feelings for each name? Creamy Confections might make you think of eating something delicious and creamy and sweet, while Oven Magic might make you think of an oven cleaning product. This is why you really need to make a good list of names and think about each one.

Get Some Outside Input – Work with a friend or family member that will be completely honest with you. Have them think of each name and tell you which one they would be more likely to check out. Which one makes them want to go to the company’s website, or read more about them? This will help get some insight into what potential customers will think of each name.

Check for Availability – If this is an online business, you will want to check for domain availability before you decide on the one you will go with. For a business with a physical location, you may want to check with a lawyer to determine whether your business name is available or not.

Use the tips and ideas above to come up with the name that will be right for you. Don’t rush yourself into coming up with a name quickly. Take the time to come up with something that will help the image and success of your company.

Home Business
Copyright © 2007 Roy Graneau

Forty years ago when people spoke of employment, they thought of the traditional forms of work like: farming, nursing, banking, teaching, clerical, electrical, policing, carpentry etc..These traditional jobs brought with them a time schedule for work of: 8-4 or 9-5, eight (8) hours a day and forty (40) hours a week. Some even demanded over time and shift work. These jobs most time require labor union representation, salary and wage negotiation, benefits, pension and vacation time. Read more »

Home Business Inspiration

I’m the One and the power lives within you…

There is a verse in the poem “I’m the One” that reads “As the flame flickers and falters, slowly leaving you breathless, I am the One; the one to breathe the fire of life back into the fibers of who you are.”

Where do we draw from when we can’t see how we can have what we want? Is it that we’ve stopped believing in ourselves? Have we simply given up on our dreams? Have we become resigned or complacent with what we currently know and have? Are we simply comfortable with the way things are?

Why You Need Business Credit

Seven Reasons Why You Need Business Credit

Have you ever noticed that it is a lot easier to borrow money when you don’t need it? The reality is that if you are down and out – either personally or in your business – nobody will lend you a dime. If you’re riding high, people (and institutions) seem ready, willing and able to open their wallet.

The best solution is to make sure you have access to money now, before you need it. You don’t necessarily need cash in hand, either. Having a flexible line of credit that you can use when you need it can be just as effective. Read more »

Sleep your way to online profits

Why sleep is the hidden secret of business success

What if I could tell you a powerful secret that would help you prevent stress from even getting started? I can, and I will – but it’s so simple that you might be tempted to disregard it.

The secret is: get enough sleep! I told you it was simple.

But think about it for a minute. How do you feel when you’re really tired and run down? Cranky, right? Impatient. Frustrated. Short-tempered. Stressed.

When you’re tired, you don’t have the mental or physical stamina you need to meet your daily demands. You just don’t. It’s like trying to run an appliance on limited power. You’ll either get poor performance, or glitches will occur so it doesn’t run properly. Read more »
