I need a name!!! - 19-12-2004, 11:55 PM

Help!!

I need a name for my new business (to open in June) a mobile phone sales/repair shop. I kinda want it to say what i do. I have checked companies house for existing names so as not to replicate them. However all the good ones have gone! I need the name to be sorted asap as i need it for corespondance with potential suppliers. All the good and obvious ones are gone. So far thought of

mobile phone solutions

will you have a USP or is it just a "me too" business ?

Think of something different about your business offering and you may be able to lean on that

Y would u need 2 staff? Could you not try and run it yourself for a while to test the market and to see how it goes?

Hi,

You got some interesting suggestions above. Anyway, how about "Mobile Depot"? I think the mobile-depot.co.uk domain is still available.

The reason for my choice is based on the following:

(1) "Mobile" part tells people what your business is about
(2) "Depot" suggests a large selection and cheaper prices (which I think is your intended business strategy)

Good luck ,

Joel

Mobile Solutions sounds good to me as well cause it puts the msg across that you will be reparing but im not to sure that it covers the selling aspect. I dont think u neccessarily hve to have mobile in the title.
