Naming your pet business

So you're at the point where you'd like to give your 'ah ha' moment a name huh? Well this could be the easiest hour or the longest, depending on your focus. Naming your business should be 
enjoyable, because you get to envision your business name in 'lights' or being said by people. But a misstep here and it's major headaches-ville.
I've listed some ideas to get the creative milk flowing, all you need to do is grab what you can use and go for it!


Here are a few quick tips to naming your new pet niche business.


-->Think shorter rather than longer:


Good: Diggs Dog Spa

Not So Good: Patty's Cute and Furry Fun Pet Care Place


Remember in the age of information overload a long drawn out name will most certainly be dismissed and forgotten. And if you're looking to directly make your name into a domain name you would be hard pressed to find anyone willing or able to remember Pattyscuteandfurryfunpetcareplace.com phew it even takes a long time to type, so keep that in mind. -> short and sweet<-


-->Make sure it's not taken:


There is nothing more disappointing then spending half a day on your wonderful new pet business name only to find someone else is already using Your wonderful pet business name! Do yourself a favor, go to Google and type in your ideas for your new name, if only bits and pieces of it come up in blog posts or websites you may be in luck. ->check to see if it can be yours<-


-->Register It Somewhere:


If you're sure about your name and you want to make it official, you may want to go and register it. You can do this by going to a domain name hosting and registering company. This way you will 'lock up' your domain name if you don't have a real website yet. You can always go back later when your website is done and anchor your domain to it. ->Register It<-


-->Don't waste weeks over your pet business name:


Seriouly while your name is a pretty big deal, you shouldn't be lingering over it for weeks at a time. If you're stumped ask for help, if you're just out of ideas, ask for help or if you're just 
clueless, get out and get some fresh air. Your brain may just need a re-charge and a good walk with Buster could be just the dose you need. ->No dilly dallying<-


All in all your name should easily say who you are or what you do, or embark a feeling if possible. Sometimes you can get it all in a name other times you just cannot. But don't get discouraged there is still plenty of options still waiting on you to choose them. Make your name your own.
