The name you give to your new business matters. It matters because it will be the name you will say out loud a 100 times. Practically speaking, much more than that. So you must choose a brand name that resonates with your heart.
Step 1: Choosing Your Business Name 👑
Choose a business name keeping your target audience in mind. What do you think they will say (or think) when they hear your brand name for the first time? Will it be self explanatory or simple and fun?
Step 2: A Good Business Name 🏆
A good business name usually has the following attributes:
• easy to remember
