8 Small Businesses With Memorable Names

Buy Cialis />

Late last year America’s Best Companies shared tips on naming a business.  At the top of their list was to make it "memorable, quirky, and unique."

Much more recently (on Tuesday) I saw this post from Lennie Rose on her blog for Big Ooga, a Chicago area resource for finding and connecting with accomplished entrepreneurs, in which she shares how she came to choose that name.  Big Ooga "sounded so Google, so Yahoo, but with a honk," she writes.  You have it admit, that name is definitely memorable in the vein of those other, now household name sites/businesses.

This got me thinking about applicant firms for our workplace award over the years that have succeeded – in addition to because of their progressive employee engagement, team building, and other people practices – by choosing a name that stands out in the minds of stakeholders including customers, suppliers, and investors.

Here are 8 such companies (* indicates an award winner; follow the link to learn more about them on our website):

  1. Big Ass Fans
  2. Boingo Wireless
  3. Gentle Giant Moving*
  4. iRobot*
  5. Jump Associates*
  6. King Arthur Flour*
  7. Skullcandy
  8. The Redwoods Group*

How important was being "memorable, quirky, and unique" when it came to naming your business?
