The photography business is different from any other business as it requires photographing skills and the taste of capturing beauty.
The Photography business’s success depends on your photographing talent and exploring new inventions in photo capturing. Follow below simple tips to name your business. Let’s get started
Check Competitors Business Names
Have a look at the business names of your competitors. Observe how they are. If they are catchy and attractive, you have to invest more time to finalize a perfect name that is better than your competitors. If they are casual and not so cool, then that will be more advantageous for you.
Usually, in some areas other than cities, people name their business starting with their name or family names, and there’s no special and uniqueness in that.
After getting to the conclusion, whether they are special or not, decide the naming style. If you follow the traditional naming style, you become the same kind; people will see nothing new in you.
Experiment Your Name
You can use a shortened version of your name instead of the full name. You can make excellent names from your name if you spend some creative time.
For instance, if your name is George Thomas, you can use GT Photography, Geo Captures, etc. You can reverse the name like Samoht (Thomas) or combine the first letters from your family and make a name. You can also try last names.
Try Core Words
You can have a try with core words of photography. Every field has some core words, and everyone doesn’t know them. Search for words that are related to photography and cameras.
For instance, you can try lenses, zoom, focal, click, shots, snaps, and more. You can go for deep subjective words that are very new to people.
For those words, have an internet search or grab from photography books. If you get any good word, try pluralizing that or joint another photographic word or your name.
Name After Favorite Things
You can also try naming after your favorite things such as arts, movies, songs, places, food, fruits, etc. If you take the example apple, it is a fruit name.
Likewise, in KFC, K refers to Kentucky, which is a state name. Photography is an art, so you can try any art name. If you have any favorite movie, add photography word to that movie name and make a business name.
I think everyone loves music; definitely, they have a favorite playlist, and you may even be one of them. So try a lyric from your most liked song or a lyric from that song.
You can also look at fruits’ names and make them like berry captures, pineapple clicks, lemon lenses, etc.
Describe Quality of Product
Try using words that describe your products’ quality, such as awesome, amazing, excellent, elegant, cool, unique, etc. Just add photography or related photographic words.
They would be awesome photography, elegant photography, cool clicks, unique shots, etc. You can have an internet search for more words like these.
List Out Best Words
In English, we have a set of excellent words. Try to list out words that are uncommon and have good meanings. For this, you can use the internet or dictionaries.
If those words are related to photography or any art, that would be an added advantage. Like I said above, you can add photography or photographic words to make it a business name.
Try Random Generators
We have some random name generators on the internet. They work based on some programming code. They provide you name by randomizing letters and words.
So you can try them to get an idea. Especially for a business, there are business name generators, have a look at them.
Finalize the Name
After trying all the options, you have. Make a list of names you have selected from all the options. Now you have to finalize a name from that list; you can take suggestions from friends and family.
Things to Remember
Keep this things while finalizing a business name,
Keep it short and simple
Don’t make the name lengthy and weird. The name should be simple and easily pronounceable. If you like a lengthy name, make sure that it is understandable.
Memorable
The name should be memorable. Suppose a customer likes your work, and he wants to suggest your photography to someone else, but he forgets your business name as it is difficult to remember.
Then, here you are, losing customers even after your work is good. So make your business name easily rememberable.
Attractive and impressive
Make sure the name can attract the people. Don’t go for regular common names. The uniqueness of your photography business starts with an impressive name. Don’t make it weird in the process of bringing a unique name.
Relative
Select a name that reflects your brand. If you choose any other word that is not relative to photography, don’t forget to add a photography-related word to it. For instance, if you choose lemon, make lemon lenses or lemon clicks.
Ask suggestions
You can ask for suggestions from friends and family. If they suggest you better, you can choose that. Take suggestions but stick to your thoughts. Consider them only if they give you good ideas.
Register a domain
It is suggestive to register a domain name on your business name. These days, everyone prefers to reach online, so build a website and run an online campaign.
