I think you do not have to be an expert on marketing to have a suitable name in your business.
Just a bit of imagination, originality and functionality are required.

Thank you.-

These are no doubt very useful tips. Obviously without business name, no business can survive. You are recognized by your business name and itâ€™s your business name that creates your place in the market. So it is best for you that you should choose your business name very carefully and with planning

Its the name that sells but the business name is most difficult to create. The problem comes when you have choosen one domain name and then you realize it has been taken by someone else. I must say that this article is really a good piece of advice for all the businessman who are striving to get their business name and are making the list but are tearing them apart. I hopefully feel these tips will really help you in choosing your domain name.

Hi Naomi,

Thanks for stopping by! “Red Balloon Days” is indeed a great business name that speaks to the senses and conjures up a sense of fun. It’s one of those “I know it when I see it” examples that is difficult to dissect but just works.

What about a sense of timelessness. We named RedBalloon Days after the 1956 Oscar winning movie. It is visual, memorable, colourful and has a sense of fun…and once you know it you remember it.

Hi Brennan - yes, some domain names are rather unfortunate. Thanks for the bustaname tool — I like it!

Good article, thanks Will.

The name of the business / domain is so important.

I have to laugh to myself at some of the names i see from time to time, like the domain names that make other less desirable words (we’ve all seen the lists of “fart” & “sex” combinations in inappropriate places.)

Saw a good tool for picking domain names - be warned, this is addictive and you will probably buy a few names that you can’t beleive haven’t been snapped up!- http://www.bustaname.com

Like Ross, i too would buy the right name if it was parked somewhere, having said that, one i really would like is just too expensive for me right now, if you can though, i would buy the right name at a premium

Hey Ross — thanks for dropping by. You’re right, a lot of good domain names are taken now. For .com.au domain names, it’s not tooooooooo bad, but for .com names a bit more thought is often required.

Nathan almost brought it up, but whether the domain name is available can also impact on what business/organisation name you choose.

I didn’t mind too much with my first few sites but now I’d strongly consider purchasing the right name if it wasn’t available.
