Choosing Your Business Name – Just Like A Baby
January 5, 2008 by Yvonne Russell
Just as you deliberate over naming a baby, your business needs some careful consideration too.
My co-blogger here at Home Biz Notes, chose her initials MEA (Mary Emma Allen) as part of her business name. She explains -
I chose “MEA’s Boutique,” utilizing my initials. I didn’t realize at the time how well this captivated customers and how well it stuck in their minds for years…even after we moved from that location to another home.
Also by using my initials, the name was mine. For my home publishing company, MEA Productions, I’ve used my initials again.
