OT: Do you like this name?, Naming my business... Options

[McMark]

I've had some very mixed reactions from people who've reviewed my new business name. I originally had MarkD Metal & Stereos, which I never liked and nobody else has ever liked. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) But some people don't like the word Subtle in Subtle Customs. I respect everyone's opinion here. Let me have it straight and unfiltered.

I worked for a guy selling his product and I asked him what the company name stood for. He said it stands for nothing. The marketing people he had payed to develope his marketing strategy said a business name should be short and hard sounding so that it is easy for people to remember.

So why not Trekkor's idea, but in big letters C.A.R.s Underneath it in smaller letters "Compleat Automotive Restorations" next line "By McMark" Use the top line of the card like you have done to spell out the services and the bottom lines for contact info and your web site so prospective customers can look at your work.

Doing it that way would grab and hold with the C.A.R.s lettering. Using Compleat Automotive Restorations gives you a name that spells out services and might be able to be registered.

I would also use colored stock paper for the cards instead of black. Yellow is bright and appealing (not to mention faster) or a off white natural looking paper. They stand out in a stack of white cards.

A logo swoosh is also a good idea in a contrasting color....put a 914 outline in the background... adds to the card and makes it appealing.
