Don’t Choose A Business Name Until You Read These Tips

Have you chosen your business name yet? Well, don’t get too attached!

While you may have picked something that you like the sound of, that accurately describes the nature of your business and that other people have given their vote of confidence: that doesn’t necessarily mean it will tick all the necessary boxes that make it a good choice of name.

Choosing a business name is not a decision to be taken lightly. Here are 4 tips and considerations to bear in mind when choosing your business name:

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO is ‘search engine optimization’. This means getting your website to the very top of the search engine results and is one of the main ways that many companies promote their websites.

While Apple was a great choice for a brand name many decades ago, it wouldn’t work today simply because it would be too hard to rank for. There are too many websites about apples!

2. Alphabetical Ordering

What is good about Apple though, is that it is an ‘A’ word. This means that in an alphabetical list it will be right at the top (beneath 123-reg though!).

While this shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your choice, it is an important consideration as it can help you get a little more visibility!

3. Domain Names

Your company name is very likely to be your domain name. That means it’s a good idea to do a search first to make sure that the domain is free.

At the same time, you also need to consider how well the word would work as a domain. Is it memorable? Does it flow off the tongue when followed by a ‘.com’?

Of course, your name also needs to be unique. Make sure that no one else is using the name and search the database of trademarks to ensure you aren’t going to get into legal trouble for choosing it!

How To Make Sure That Retirement Doesn’t Kill You

Retirement is something that many of us spend half our lives looking forward to. The idea of finally being able to say goodbye to long work hours and spend our time the way we want it is massively appealing. But then comes the reality. And for many people, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Retirement can often be followed by a sense of loss – loss of purpose, loss of responsibility and loss of importance. This can be a painful transition in some cases and many people will even find that they end up having something of an existential crisis. But even if you don’t feel that way psychologically, what it does to your body can sometimes be devastating. The problem is that you don’t just lose that focus and purpose – you lose the excuse to go out and socialize more often and you lose the socialization.
