This starter website ensures a continuous web presence and helps to build a history for the brand -- a factor that search engines consider in their rankings.

Keys to a Successful Start-Up

At Brandings our new venture experts have been instrumental in the launch of thousands of start-ups. We’ve also been called in to “rescue” troubled start-ups after they’ve begun operation. Over the years we have seen it all – the good, the bad and the ugly.

We’ve found some important commonalities in successful start-ups …

  • We have found that successful new ventures didn’t cut corners when they began operation. It is much more difficult (and expensive) to unsnarl a mess once a business is in full operation. The successful start-ups got it right the first time.

  • Successful firms started with a powerful name, targeted logo and “exact-match” domain name -- a domain name that was identical to their company name (for example, company name Walmart, domain name Walmart.com).

  • We also found that virtually every successful firm had clarity in their strategic vision, a sustainable competitive advantage, and quantifiable goals.
  • The decisions that these start-ups made early on in their businesses set the foundation for a successful launch and later success.

    Here are some examples of company names that we have recently developed:

    how to name your company

    How to Name Your Company

    Keep it Short and Simple. We can’t say it enough, shorter is better. Virtually every successful business name, product name or service name is short in length – usually fewer than 11 characters. The longer the name, the greater the propensity for confusion or misspelling.

    Make Sure It’s Integrated. The name should carry the brand and be consistent with the industry. We know instantly that “Bytegen” is an information technology company and “Biozyn” is a biotech company.

    100% Alphabetic Characters. With rare exception, a strong name should only contain letters and numbers. You'll want to stay away from hyphens. They will just confuse your audience. In very select cases non-alphabetic characters can be used – but require careful design to avoid consumer confusion.

    Easy to Read and Write. A great name is easy to spell and easy to vocalize. Ideally there should only be one way to spell a name. The more alternatives there are in the spelling of a name, the more likely a firm is to lose or confuse customers.

    Go for Emotion. A strong company name engages the customer. Ideally the name should feel empowering and enlightening.

    Consider Expandability. If you’re considering expanding, it’s important not to have a limiting name. A name should be expandable to allow for product extensions and industry changes. Some names keep the option open for significant expansion, while others may be highly specialized and targeted.

    Exact-Match Dot.com. In business today your domain name is your company name. You need to own the dot.com domain extension -- and your company name and the domain name must be identical.

    How to Find the Perfect Company

    Acquiring a great company name has never been easier. There are two easy ways to search:

    1. Search CATEGORY. Search names by category and subcategory. Check-out the category list in the column to the left. You'll see that that company name categories have more specific subcategories. Just select a category or subcategory and browse!

    2. Search by NAME. You can also find company names that contain a key word (or partial word) important in your business. Use the NAME SEARCH function -- located at the top of this page. Simply enter any word or word fragment in the keyword bar ... then click “GO!”

    After you have found the perfect company name in our on-line inventory, just click "Buy Now" to place your order.

    We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Escrow.com, wire transfer, check and money order.

    Once we receive your order, you will be assigned to a Project Manager who will facilitate the transfer of all rights, title and ownership of the domain name, logo design and other elements to you.

    Your personal Project Manager will be available to answer any questions you may have and ensure that all elements of the brand package are transferred to you smoothly.

    And because Brandings is the sole owner of own each domain name, there will be no complications with intermediaries or brokers.

    The Domain Transfer Process

    All domain names are registered with a domain registrar. Some of the largest domain registrars include GoDaddy.com, NetworkSolutions.com, 1and1.com, eNom.com, Joker.com, and Register.com. Domain registrars charge an annual registration fee of about $10. (USD)

    All domain names held by Brandings are registered at GoDaddy.com where we have prepaid domain registration fees up to three years in advance. If you transfer the domain to a GoDaddy account, GoDaddy will honor the remaining time on the existing registration.

    For GoDaddy domain name transfers, we will just need your GoDaddy UserName or Customer# and the e-mail address linked to your GoDaddy account. The entire transfer is usually completed within a few hours.

    If you do not have a GoDaddy account and would like to open one, please click here: www.GoDaddy.com

    If you plan to use any other registrar, we will provide you with an authorization code confirming our consent for the domain transfer. The transfer process consists of several back-and-forth communications between the old registrar and the new registrar confirming the agreement of all parties. Depending on the registrar, the transfer is usually completed in 1-5 days.

    Whether you will be transferring the domain to a GoDaddy account or to another registrar, your Project Manager will be monitoring every step. We are here to make the process hassle-free.

    Logo Artwork Transfer

    Concurrent with the domain transfer, we will instruct our design team to prepare the logo artwork for transfer to you.

    A preliminary initial design concept for each brand is displayed in the Brandings on-line catalog. If the displayed logo design doesn’t quite work for your company application, you can “mix-and-match” design elements to create a custom-tailored logo. Our design team will change the typefont, colors and image – at no additional cost. You’ll have a logo redesigned to match your company-specific personality.

    Our design team will furnish artwork to you in the most popular formats used for web, print and vector applications. In preparing the artwork for transfer, our design team will refine, sharpen, and modify the logo (as required) to optimize the overall appearance of the design.

    You will receive logo artwork in the following formats: .gif, .pdf, .ai, .eps, .svg, .png & .jpeg. If you require a unique or special format, just let us know. We can prepare artwork in any file format you need.

    Initial Website Transfer (if desired)

    We have been building an on-line history for the domain name with a simple webpage designed to generate an initial traffic stream. The starter site may include preliminary webpage designs, page layouts, website graphics, website databases, online forms, search engine optimization actions, and banner advertisements.

    To ensure continuity, this starter website can be transferred to you in its current configuration while you develop your own site. There are no web hosting charges for this starter site.
