Introduction
On the internet branding is crucial in starting a successful commercial site.
Some good examples of successful brand names are eBay, Yahoo, Google and Amazon.
Brand names require a lot of time, effort and money to create, however promote
brand loyalty, and make your site much more memorable.
Choosing a Brand Name
When choosing a brand name you should try and keep the following factors in
mind:
- Memorable - Try and keep the brand name short and snappy to make it
memorable.
- US / UK - Assuming your website is going to be English based, make
sure that your website won't have any problems due to different spelling. An
example of this would be the spelling "Color" & "Colour".
- Spelling - Is the brand name easy to spell?
Choosing a Domain Name
All of the factors above are important for your brand name as well as your domain
name (usually the same as your brand name). You may be the best marketer in the world
but without an easily accessible website you won't be going far in the online world.
