How to choose a name for a company?

A company name (or brand name) is a mental trigger that helps current and potential customers think of your business. That’s why a name is an integral part of a brand strategy.

A strong name can help you stand out from your competitors and also increase brand awareness.

When a person hears or sees a name, their brain creates mental associations and reactions. These associations and reactions can be positive (when the person likes the name or brand) or negative (when the person dislikes the name or brand).

Brand names can have different structures and include:

• Real words (Staples, Amazon, Apple);
• Shortened real words (FedEx, Cisco, San Francisco);
• Alphanumeric combinations (7-Eleven, 3M);
• Complex words (Microsoft, DreamWorks, MasterCard);
• New words (Google, Zappos, Coca-Cola).

We show you several steps you need to take to choose the right name for your company:

• Company goal:

Consider your company's core values, mission, and goals. The name should reflect its essence.

• Target audience:

Consider the interests and preferences of your target audience. The name should be attractive and understandable to your customers.

• Uniqueness:

Avoid similarities with companies in your industry. A unique name can make your brand more memorable.

• Simple and memorable:

Avoid names that are too complex or confusing. Simplicity and catchiness will help customers remember your brand better.

• Flexible:

Consider how the name will be perceived in the context of business expansion. Avoid "narrow" names that may become outdated as your range of services or products expands.

• Market research:

Research the market to make sure the name you choose doesn't have negative connotations or negative associations.

• Legal aspects:

Check the legal availability of the chosen name. Make sure the name is not a trademark of another company.

• Domain:

Make sure that the right domain name for your business is available. Having a consistent online presence is very important.

• Testing:

Conduct a survey among potential customers or colleagues. Get feedback on how they perceive the name you have chosen.

• Emotional context:

Think about what emotions the chosen name evokes in you and your target audience. An emotional connection to the brand can be a key factor in success.
