Brandable Name FAQs

What are Brandable Names?

Brandable Names are unique, memorable, easy to pronounce domain names that stand out for their simplicity to be easliy recalled, while also implying your company, business or websites’ offerings, be it services, products, mission, etc.

Why do I need a Brandable Name and how will it help me?

'Brand' is defined as a distinctive name identifying a product or company. By having a catchy domain name that expresses who you are and what you offer, you not only stand out from your competition, you're more able to quicky embed ‘Your Brand' to your clientel. You are in essence helping them to more-so and easily, remember you with a domain name that stays with them! With the internet growing every day and more and more people shopping and searching online than ever, it’s important - to not get lost or forgotten out there!

How do I even go about in choosing a Brandable Name?

You should take several things into consideration.

Will this name express my company’s unique individuality? You don’t want to be like everyone else. No one does. But you don't want your clientel to 'work' at remembering how to pronounce or spell your domain either.
Choosing a domain name with generic keywords, catchy popular terms or phrases that also relate to your products or services, helps establish ‘Your Brand’ and identity much more effectively to your clients.
Does it relate to your services or products? The more the domain name relates to your services, the better to be remembered. Ex: 'SmileExperts.com' could be used for anything relating to the dental industry, oral products, plastic surgery etc.; 'MochaLounge.com' could be used to sell chocolate products, an onlline forum, the name of a new trendy coffee house or night club. There are many possibilities for some names. Brandable domains that convey your mission, are indispensible.
Does it pass the radio test? This is important! A ‘radio test’ is being able to hear a word or phrase, and be able to understand and spell it exactly as it sounds. Not phonetically! When people go to their computer you don’t want them getting frustrated at having to guess at the correct spelling giving up, and then heaven forbid, going or ending up at your competitors instead. Bottom line, keep it simple for others to grasp and remember. If you heard it in an advertisment, which would you search for – ‘CashForCars’ or ‘Kash4Karz’? No one wants to have to 'think' what the domain name is.
Is it memorable? In our estimation this is most important! You have to pull them in and keep them in. When people need something, you want them to think of you first. And if your domain is catchy and easy to remember, they will! Again and again! By having a unique easy to remember Brandable Name, you will stand out in your clientels' mind. There are an abundance of websites going up every day. ‘Why will they go to you instead? Because you induced them to!’ Through your brandable domain name you subliminally are putting and keeping your name - 'in their head'. Make them remember you!

What about Made-Up Brandable Names?

What if I'm wanting a short domain that is already taken or too expensive for my budget? There are brandable names that go the out-of-the-box route; by this we mean in a sense being a ‘made up’ word. Usually these are one word funky type of names, not necessarily reflecting one's services. They usually consist of 5-8 letters that have a 'ring' to them. Examples: Yahoo, Flickr, Tumblr etc. They are short, pronounceable and trendy sounding, though not always easy to remember the spelling of. Many startups go this route to save money and establish their identity as being trendy and different. These type of brandable names are good for setting one's business apart from competitors etc., but they usually entail having a good marketing budget or campaign, to embed that name to the public. If your endeavor has the funds to take this on, that type of brandable name may be right for you. Just know that you will need to market it heavily to establish these types of names to the general consumer.

Will having a Brandable Name help me with my cost?

The easier your domain name is to remember, spell and pronounce, the easier your branding efforts will be to establish your name to your current and potential new clientle. The less you have to keep reminding others of "what was that website name?", the less you need to spend to market it over and over. Choosing a domain name with good related keywords will also help you in search engine rankings, and you will spend less money on advertising.
