    Great advice! But don't let the lack of a cool catchy name stop you from moving forward with your business. Too often, would-be entrepreneurs use this type of perfectionism as an excuse to never actually pull the trigger on their business and they end up losing steam before they ever execute.

      Yeah, finding a great name is one thing but finding a great name with a relevant & available URL is a completely different ball game! I've actually run though this issue with clients in the past. What you should do is create a spreadsheet that lists out every name you like (taken or not) and every word/phrase that you think is relevant to your personal brand/service. (Seriously, caffeinate like crazy and brainstorm every word & phrase!) Then start mixing & matching until you find something that really clicks!
      If you want to get more in-depth, make a 2nd spreadsheet with your best-in-industry competitors names & URLs to notice trends. Also, try to avoid unusual spellings of common words. Business owners tend to find them catchy and fun but common customers usually find them confusing and hard to remember.

    If the name sounds weird or exotic you have a winner. Remember in branding imagine the name repeated in a commercial, instagram, fb and so on over one million times. Make a jingle and a slogan and repeat it for a few days and envision the future. If you can you got a winner. Let the brand name sound way different then what you do. Dont involve what you do in your name. Trust me I been studying this for a long time. Remember if its a shit name that is still ok. The ultimate way to get to the top is the story and the culture behind the name. What emotion do you consumers get when they buy your product or service.. Example Fedex imagine you just came up with that name does it sound dumb maybe but now it sounds normal because the key is brand awarrness and repetition. You get the idea have a great day.

      I personally avoid names like that, they're "mid-level" names compared to Apple or Nike or Google, imho... BUT there's nothing wrong with them, they can totally work. The main thing is that you put thought and intention into them, and you're satisfied with the name you choose.

      @@ryzeonline If Chic-fil-A is Mid level I would be happy with that lol. In-N-Out burger is another one that comes to mind. I just asked because my residential cleaning company has dashes sometimes I hate it sometimes I don't, but it seems to be working. I'm not totally satisfied, but re-branding would be hard especially since we have a pretty good clientele now.

    My problem with this is no one starting a lawn care business is planning on it becoming an international billion dollar company. When you're just a local business the name doesn't matter all that much in my opinion as long as it's reasonable. I think for a local business the most important thing is to make it clear what it is you do.

      I would disagree. If every lawn business had lawn in their business name no would remember them. They would just all get mix in the same pile because the names are so similar. There's nothing to it that stands out and make the customers remember them.

    Fresh perspective on something I hadn't considered.
    I want to make a channel with It's name as, "Curiosity" since it describes its purpose well. Now, I wonder if shrinking it to something a little more original and fresh such as "Osity" might make it better.
    What do you think or should I keep trying? Thanks.

    • @ryzeonline
      @ryzeonline 6 років тому +1

      Awesome Jp! *Osity* sounds amazing to me! Catchy, 5-letters, memorable, meaningful... you're totally onto something there. Curiosity is ok too, not nearly as "brand-strong" imho. The thing about name's is there's always exceptions and no 'right answer', this video is mainly to help people think deeper and put true energy into their name.

      There are always exceptions, companies like "Xerox" or "Kim Kardashian" have some pretty unique names, and still do well, the most important thing about your name is that you thought it through and are proud to stand by it. People abbreviated Tim Horton's to "Timmys", and they did it because of / in spite of the company's original name :)

    Hello Evan! This veideo helped me alot. But I still can't choose a brand name for my company. Mostly because there's seems to be many options wich are valid with pros and cons. But still cant choose. I feel that the name I want it's one that expresses creativity, like the one you have as a kid and imagine an entire story around just a tree for example (I'm a 3d artist) I love long names that tell or make you think an small storie. But I feel that perhaps that's a bad idea. And what's worst I don't feel I have anyone with enough knowledge of the subject to talk about this

    @fosforus1588 3 роки тому +2

    Evan - There's some good general advice here, but some details & specific examples are HORRIBLE ADVICE.
    - "Silvan" is a better name than "Silv", the 2nd syllable completes the word & has a ring to it. Or a variation like Silva/Silvo.
    - And you're seriously going to compare Jesus & Oprah to a lawncare brand name? 🙄 Oprah didn't change her name on purpose, her mom misspelled "Orpah" on her BC, a common name from the Book of Ruth in the Bible. Do a little more research next time.
    - Giant faceless corporation brand names don't matter because they're not public-facing. In fact, they often prefer to be unknown to everyday people. There's no reason to even bring up their names in this video.
    - Coca-Cola may be an exception by today's standards, but 1 reason it works is it near-rhymes & is an alliteration (C+C). It's easy to say & has a ring to it. And it shortens to Coke which works well too. Infact, if you take the dash & capital letter away, it sounds like a modern name like Lululemon etc. "Cocacola"

    *As long as your name is short and doesn't contain weird letters* it can work -, no matter how dumb it sounds. Contrary to what this video said (I agree with everything else) your name doesn't have to mean anything. As long as it's short and easy to say. It works for “Dribbble” - which literally means “a stream of liquid” (with 2 Bs). Terrible name (says anyone I mention it to) but highly successful company :-)

    We can't look past the fact, this guy had this man changing his company name to Silv......wtf, lol. Quite the solution. Also, keep in mind all the big names this video seemed look up to didnt make it big because of the name, rather it was how they influenced the culture. I bet if a couple rappers put the name "vanguard" in their videos, people would be getting tattoos the next day. All the companies he seemed to mention got big because of the quality of the product. Disneys just a last name, but they have great movies and sick theme parks, Coca Cola is basic, but tastes deliciouso. McDonalds is a last name, but makes chunky kids happy, Facebook has a boring name, but it allows me to rant to strangers and store contacts. Sounds like the product is the determining factor, rather than the name being the biggest contributor.

    • @ryzeonline

      JVCK can work, look at companies like FCUK, IBM, YSL (Yves-Saint Laurent)... personally, I don't find it ideal or super-high leverage, but it can totally work. The main takeaway hopefully is that you put thought into your name, envision your brand in the future, and make sure it's something you're proud of, and something you'll stand by. Usually experimenting with a few alternates is worth the time, even if it just makes you love your original name more. #Believe
