Naming your Small Business
Are you having trouble naming your small business? The Wyoming Women’s Business Center can help you come up with a name and help to develop a unique and conceptual logo. But for now here are some tips to help you get started brainstorming the perfect name for your business or product.
Small Business Tip: Creative Tips on How to Name your Business
When developing a logo, I always start with a bubble brainstorm chart. Ideally, I like to come up with a concept for the company to convey and create the logo and name together. This is just one strategy we can help you with.
