When you have a good idea and are ready to start a business, one of the problems you will face is what kind of name to give your company.
Why is a good company name important to a startup?
I think there are three main reasons:
First of all, it is easier to identify.
For start-ups, user identification of projects is a key link. A good company name can quickly help the company distinguish itself from other competitive products at an early stage.
2. It is easier to build cognition in consumers' minds.
In the case that the gap between products, services, prices and other factors is difficult to widen, good names are easier to establish cognition in consumers' minds, such as "search engine", "Zhihu" = "high-quality Q&A community", "WeChat" = "social" and so on. If a startup can establish a strong connection between the company name and a certain field in the minds of consumers, then it is difficult for competitors to surpass it.
3. Save a lot of money
Good names are not only easy for consumers to remember, but also can be recalled in similar situations. They can even discuss topics on social networks, which can save a lot of money.
The name of a startup is very important. What should I consider when naming?
In terms of sense of participation, Li Wanqiang put forward some questions when considering the name of Xiaomi at the beginning of his creation, which can be used as a reference, and the underlined part is used as a reference:
It is not easy to think of the name of the company at the beginning of starting a business. Our main considerations are:
One. Chinese names should be easy to remember and spread;
2。 Supported domain names;
Three. Trademarks can be registered;
Four. Easy to popularize;
Five. I am familiar with life, with color and emotion.
Easy to remember and easy to pass on is of course very important. In addition, if the name can be fashionable, it is also very good and people want to discuss it. Typical examples, such as "Jiao" and "Chuntang", are easy to cause the effect of topic fission.
If we look at the names of these startups by category, what are their categories?
There are hundreds of thousands of internet startups in the market now, and I choose 5000 of them to do research. Get some existing naming rules for startups and share them with you.
1, traditional culture
For ordinary China citizens, traditional culture has a high awareness. By combining phrases related to traditional culture, it is easy to remember and spread the company name.
One. 12 Chinese zodiac signs

Analysis:
It can be seen that the zodiac is particularly easy to win in the name of a start-up. Each zodiac has certain personality attributes, such as the monkey has spiritual and flexible attributes, the pig has simple attributes, and the dog has safe attributes. It is easy to get a good reputation by making rational use of the character attributes and industry characteristics of the zodiac.

For start-ups, priority can be given to whether they can have such a suitable name.
2, everyday language
Of all the naming rules, I personally like this ingenious example of translating everyday words into company names. These words are highly related to the company's main business, easy to enter the consumer's cognition, and have a huge eyeball effect.

Every industry will have some keywords that need to be conveyed to users. For fresh e-commerce, it may be "fresh" and "fast"; For finance, it may be "profit", "good" and "simplicity".

This is good for the housekeeper. "

What should I do if I need to start thinking about the name of a startup now?
First, determine the project area.
Finance or electronic commerce. It is best to list subfields. If it is an e-commerce, it is a fresh e-commerce or a cross-border e-commerce.
Secondly, clarify the characteristics of the project.
"Fast" or "simple"; Whether it is "excellent" or "beautiful" and so on.
Then, list the requirements statements related to the project.
Finally, according to all the listed information, list the required name and choose the appropriate name.
For example, this project is a "cross-border electronic commerce" classification in the field of "e-commerce". The characteristics of this project may be a series of key words, such as Tao, beauty, benefit, joy, yang and travel. The relevant demand words behind the project can be "women are books that men can't understand" and "bringing you overseas quality products", so that you can get names such as "Youtao", "Letao" and "Huigou".
The above is the relevant content of the company name collection of the mouse, which is about the sharing of e-commerce. I hope this will help everyone after reading the complete list of company names of Rat!
