I’m trying to come up with a list of cool bike related words as thinking of setting up a bike related business. Primarily to do with photography.
One photo shoot with midlands veteran xc champ Nick Popham generated a lot of interest, so I’m doing a few more shoots and getting a portfolio together but how do you come up with a business name.
I can’t use my own name as I’m keeping that for my weird fine arty stuff.
Any suggestions from other entrepreneurererereerrrrrssss (don’t really know what it means but they use it a lot on the apprentice)
You lot have so many better ideas then I did, but I may just end up using my name and changing the dark fine arty illustration side of what I do to some thing else.
Radspeak ages poorly, it could be a millstone to have a very current sounding name.
Sometimes numbers or places work very well (661, Santa Cruz, Hope, Dartmoor, Ragley) equally initials do the job and are more ambiguous allowing you to adapt to your growth.
“Flowtography” just popped to mind, you could put your name or initials in front of that for something unusual but simple or use it on its own.
Tend to agree with Herman ^^ here. Having a cool name is one thing, but it’s all about the product. Lots of obscure business names end up being ‘cool’ only due to the strength of the product. I mean ‘Adidas’?
Also, if the market for bike pictures goes down the toilet and you end up taking wedding photographs just to earn a living, then you won’t be wanting an overly specific name that you’ll have to change, re-do the website, business cards etc etc. Using your name is the most adaptable option.
