Hi Rudeboy,

I like this name the most "rockstarlawncare."

Are you a musician? Are you in a band?

[rudeboy]

nah im not in a band but i wish i like rock music and i was trying think of a name that would stand out

[rudeboy]

heres some more names
mightylawncare
turfmaster
completelawncare
habitatlawncare
greenquest
if i dont come up with any thing else im keep rockstarlawncare
you think that would be ok for a lawn service i dont know if it would or not
i like greenquest too or mightylawncare
and rockstarlawncare

any one have one you like let me know

[Steve]

From what I have seen, those who take the step to be outrageous, will gain attention and customers. The more conservative you are, the more you will just blend in with everyone else.

I want you to do what you are comfortable with. I want you to choose a name you are comfortable with.

If you want to be outrageous, pick an outrageous name and go with some outrageous marketing.

If you want to be more mild, which is fine, go with something like Quality Lawn Care.

Remember though, business is all about exploring and experimenting. Look at what happened with Lee from Tiger Time Lawn Care. He promoted his bikini lawn care service, which was risky, and now he landed on tv interviews. These tv interviews led to new customers.

So as an experiment, it never hurts to dream BIG and OUTRAGEOUS. Then you can always scale it back to a level you are comfortable with.

[rudeboy]

ok well thanks for helping

[Steve]

Keep us posted on what you decide http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I like fox lawn care. Think about the logos and mascot that you could have for it

[rudeboy]

update is i still haven't found a name i like ill let you know when i get one or if some helps me with some ideas that be kool too

[StartALawnCareBusiness]

Have you thought about adopting a name correlating to the area in which you live? Just as an example, if you live in the "Northbrook" area of St. Louis, you could call yourself "NorthBrook Lawn Care" or "NorthBrook Land Maintenance"

I've noticed that customers will be very loyal to you when they know you focus your attention on one part of town. Elderly customers, especially, want to do business with someone local.

If "Northbrook" only has a population of 1000, this might be too limiting and you will have to choose a broader area. Play with the idea.

Let us know what you decide.

I still like the idea of a fox http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

HaHa....How about:


http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Dancing Banana Lawn Care *http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Steve]

You know, that is a good idea. I mean it's silly but it could totally be used in branding. LOL Can you imagine?

Then you could get a banana costume and at times just wear it as you are cutting a lawn and WOW would people see you!

You could paint your truck bright yellow too!

[Steve]

Here is a truck idea.

[Steve]

Then you could give out banana pens with your company name and phone number on it.

From here (http://www.spiralandcircle.com/funitem.htm).

[Steve]

You could dress up your dog with a banana suit and have him as your mascot in your photos.

love this one...

[tiedeman]

yup, that is the Green Quest that I am talking about. I think he is from around Grand Rapids, Michigan. I could be wrong though

[Steve]

I loved the name and his graphics. It was all top notch and very creative.

[rudeboy]

what one green quest

[StartALawnCareBusiness]

Dude, change your name to Tiger Time Lawn Care and ride on his publicity. ;-)

His Bare Lawn Care schtick has landed him world wide news attention. Nice job T.T. Milk this for all it's worth.

Congrats:

Keith

[Steve]

HAHAHAHA I know it rocks. Over 130 worldwide articles not including all the television spots. It's amazing what the right idea at the right time with a few press releases can do ;)

i dont think he would like that i have to do somthing totaly differnt then him if i did that i like his name tho or was yall just kidding

[Steve]

Go with something you like and something that stands out.

[rudeboy]

well here some more names

student lawn care
All Season Lawn care
Grass Busters
Lawn Gators
Pro Lawn
Weeds Away Lawn Care
Yard Works

do you like any of theses

[Steve]

Rudeboy,

Tell me this, do you feel more comfortable going with a conservative name or a more outrageous name?

[rudeboy]

i just want a name that sound good and what people can remember
i dont want like common name like using my own name

[Steve]

I think if you want to stand out more, go with the Rock Star Lawn Care or even the Dancing Banana Lawn Care and then really work on the imagery and the brand identity. If that's not your style, then maybe go with fox lawn care.

What's your view?

[rudeboy]

im probably going go with fox lawn care now i just need come up with something as for a logo

[tiedeman]

YES!!! I really like the fox name. The graphics could be amazing doing something with a fox in it

[Steve]

Logo idea

[AMW Graphics]

Quote[/b] (Team Gopher @ July 26 2007,11:36)]Logo idea
I lIke it!

[JODY84]

I'm in the same boat, just can get a name down.

Husband wants C & M services

we don't want anything with "lawn" in the name b/c we wanna do other things like pressure washing etc

so it's hard to decide.

But I do like the fox idea for you, I would def remember that one.:D

[rudeboy]

heres another

Lawn M.D
giving you a healthy lawn!

or Green Clippers


Green Clippers sound good too

[rudeboy]

so far im keeping Fox Lawn Care

[Steve]

Hi JODY84,

What names would you like for your business?

Hi rudeboy,

Green Clippers is a fun name too!

[rudeboy]

Green Clippers Logo do you like this

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b175/express2005/gclogo.jpg

[Steve]

Yes I do. Nice Work!

[rudeboy]

ok finally this is what i am keeping thanks for all your help

[Little's]

Your Lawn M.D. name reminded me of a name I was going to use...The Lawn Doctor - A friend of mine had a successful tree cutting service called The Tree Doctor, and I always like the name.
