Granola Business Name

Hello, I am purchasing a small granola business (the granola is gluten-free and vegan). The name of the company is Courser Farm Kitchen. I am trying to come up with a new name, but am having a hard time! I don’t want the word “granola” in the name, in case I decide to add other products. I do kind of like the word “kitchen”. I’m struggling to decide whether I want more of a classy, serious name, or something more on the catchy side. I think something catchy can help a business succeed (example Bear Naked granola, what a great name!) but I don’t want it to sound cheesy either. I thought the word “Krunch” or “Krunchy” could work but not sure what else to add to that. I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions! Thank you!! Vivian

Jay’s Answer:  If you don’t want granola in the name, you probably also don’t want crunchy in the name either – since you want room to grow.

If you’ll still be keeping the business in NH, selling to a regional audience, then why not capitalize on your region: Live Free! Foods or White Mountain Kitchen?

A Tagline For My Sales Seminars?

As Director of Sales Training, I hold short, 20 minute rapid learning seminars bi-weekly on various topics related to sales, soft skills & professional development for our company employees.   I’ve been naming the series “Forum” but looking for a more impactful tagline, such as “Success Masters Academy” or something similar.  Is there one you can think of since you’re the pro?!  Thanks a million!! – Mark

Help Naming Our Flooring Company

My husband and I are starting a flooring company. We’re starting out staining concrete but we want to be able to expand later on. He doesn’t want to use our last name in it. We are from Arkansas. We are targeting both home owners & contractors. My husbands works currently for his father doing audio care such as security alarms, home installments, direct tv, surround sound, just about anything. They have a good group of clients & know them all personally so he has a head start on clients. Plus there are not many flooring companies around us. At the moment he wants to start off just staining concrete. But after awhile he wants to hire some more people to help to do wood flooring, carpet and everything in between. We’re having a mental block trying to figure this out so we could really use some outside advice!

###

Jay’s Answer: If there’s not many flooring companies around, then pick a name that makes it clear who you serve: Ashley County Flooring (for example). Your tagline would then explain your specialty (for now): Specializing in Concrete Staining.

Name My Party Planning Business

Myself and two of my friends are starting a party planning business. We need a catchy name but since there is three of us we really cant use our names. So any ideas would be great.

###

Jay’s Answer: Congratulations on starting a new business! I’ve found over the years that the right way to choose a name isn’t to randomly pick something “catchy” that appeals to you. Instead, you need to pick a name that’s relevant to your future clients. So, you need to get very clear on such issues as: who specifically are your clients likely to be, where are they located, why they’d choose you (instead of doing it themselves and/or hiring someone else), and the types of parties you specialize in. This is the core of your marketing strategy. Without it, you can come up with hundreds of names and find that they’re clever/cute but totally off-base for your needs.

Titles For 2 Newsletters

I am looking for your help in naming 2 Newsletters that i have been tasked to write. The first one is for our IT Infrastructure Departments. There are about 12 departments all around the world so it needs to be something clever. I was hoping to use the abbreviation GIN somehow as in Global Infrastructure Newsletter.

The second Newsletter i need to come up with a name for is a Customer Service Newsletter. Our company manufactures synthetic diamonds so the client base would be rather large companies and the customer service would be a broad range of service. Both these Newsletters are to be targeted at employee level, not customers.

###

Jay’s Answer: Why “GIN”? Could you use “GLINT” instead (to connote enthusiasm and gleaming)?

 I am looking for tagline for marketing of Healing works to go with company name ReKrish Healing. healing based on sessions of EFT ,Access consciousness, counseling, NLP,Hypnotherapy, Naturopathy etc. ( Main focus to start with is Stress and pain Management for corporates )

###

Jay’s Answer: Since your proposed business name doesn’t say much about what you offer, your tagline needs to make it clear. In this case, what you offer is less important (for a tagline) than why someone would choose to hire your services. Therefore, consider taglines such as:

  • Improve Employee Effectiveness
  • Natural Stress Reduction
  • No-Stress Employee Wellness
