Photography Family Kids

Looking a name for my business (photography) mostly families, kids, pets and nature. Want something easy to remember and classy. My first name is Lori, which I could use. But want something that I could use that is non id.

Any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party and/or may be trademarked so I wanted to go a different route...

Here's a few things to keep in mind:

1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind.

2) The more unique & distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.

3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray?

Specific brainstorming tips:

Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON'T want. If you don't want a 3-word name, don't bother with those. If you don't want non-English words, don't bother with those & so on and so forth.

What are the "types" of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types & then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.

Here are some links where you can do some preliminary name checking:

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=te ss&state=tbmkb6.1.1 -- USPTO – Preliminary Search of Federal trademarks
http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/research/a /Sec_of_state.htm --Go to your state's Secretary of State page to see if they have a searchable database of business names
http://www.hoovers.com/free/
http://www.thomasnet.com – Must register (free) to search their database

However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I'd like to have a photography themed party for my 21st birthday in February. What are some things we can do to keep the theme throughout the party? It needs to be family oriented as there will be family and kids around. We're renting out a building big enough to hold everybody...any ideas?

1st: You have a long aisle runner along 1 side of the building...have a runway show! Have floor lamps, etc. all the way down...maybe those some fake flower petals. Not only is it fun, but it will display all who is attending!

2nd: Disposable cameras in the middle of every table (check your local Sam's Club or Costco for deals)

3rd: You can make up inexpensive "sets" in the corners...maybe a livingroom area or a car (how big is the place?) and people can have their pictures taken/take pictures of others.

You may want to ask some TRUSTED friends to help man the areas. And maybe YOU can MC the Runway Show.

OPTIONS:
1. Insurance Sales (Commission only)
2. Mercedes Benz sales (commission only)
3. start a life coach business (I have a Psych degree)
4. start an environmentally friendly cleaning business
5. become a massage or reiki practioner
6. start a dog daycare
7. Financial Advisor
8. start an in-home daycare.
9. In home Photography studio
I have some capital to invest in start-up, have knowledge of business plans and marketing and expect to have to wait over a year to see some profit or steady business.
LifeInsuranceAgent: Are you currently hiring? I see that you are in PA, also.

I'd go with 7 and 8

Or do what I do. For a fee, I help women start their own businesses, and I net almost $175K a year in Toronto.

Becoming a financial advisor is a lucrative business with the right clients. If you base your fee as a percentage of their assets, it is always in the best interests of all involved that you manage their money well.

In Canada, daycare is an issue. People are willing to spend upwards of $1,000/mo for good daycare. If your place is a big enough place, you can take in 6-7 kids a month. After food costs, you should still net $50K
