Help With Appealing Business Name

Posted by Anonymous on 1/22/2007 at 9:17 PM ET 50 Points
Hello all. I am finishing up school in a landscape design program this summer. I have been working for my stepdad for 4 years driving 3 hours round trip 5 days a week and attending school on the weekends. We are now starting a business in my home town so we can share the travel. We are trying to create an appealing name for our business. It is heavy in mowing but develping fast on the landscaping side. So to sum it up we do everything. I thought we could include something about a feminine touch but we are stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions on a name? I have not slept for two nights trying to think of the perfect name. HELP!!!! Thanks

    Have you considered a name that is not so much about YOU, but about your customers? If I were hiring someone to "do" my yard, I want someone reliable, not too expensive, who has a gift for making my yard look clean and beautiful.

    If you want a feminine touch, consider a "girlier" font or subtle colors (light green, maybe add some flowers...)

    If you wanted to get really cutsie:
    Lawn Pixies
    (like having the the pixies magically cut your lawn...might not work for your stepdad!)

    I'd go with something that just says

    Lawn and Landscape

    Your messaging and of course the work you do will build your brand from that point. How you design direct mail, logos, flyers, ads, etc. is where you can build your personality.

    Thank you guys!!! You gave me great help. We do agree about the "girl" fact. All my clients so far love me and the fact that I work hard as a woman so I just thought it might be cute to include. My stepdad brought to my attention that some men might not be attracted to a feminine name. We narrowed it down to three names. Thank you again. I love this website. It's great for a person starting out.
