Hi Marilyn,Geoffrey here!Are you trying to draft an offline business name or an internet name or both?Choosing a business name is indeed challenging because:1. They have to be catchy2. The name of the business should directly reflect the business itself.3. It shouldn t be that lengthy.4. They must not sound/look like a scam.5. A business name should not have an impression that it is derived from a competitor s name.You see, you must at least address the 5 items above before drafting for a business name, especially when you want a corresponding web presence to it. Let s assume you want bakeformeyoubaker.com or bakeformeyoubaker.ws . You must take time to do some research if these names are already taken or if that name seem to be a derivative of a competitor s business.And remember, once you buy a .com , you will also need to buy .net , .ws , .org and .info carrying the same business name. This prevents other people from stealing your business name by just changing your .com to .net , .ws , .org or .info .Another thing to take note of, small businesses must comply to the me-decade . What does that mean? It means that your business should interact with readers. Me-decade is a me and me is important marketing age. Me-decade strategies like Just Me perfume or Color Me Beautiful lipstick brands, or I am bad t-shirt brands are good examples of a me-decade business or product name.At least that should help prospects identify if your business is a private label or if you are an affiliate of a well know brand.HTH!To your success,Geoffrey
