Local Computer Service

[wanautentico]

Hello everyone. I am thinking of opening a store including a computer repair service.
Sale, repair of all types of computers, video surveillance cameras, pc games, radio links and creation of wifi zones.

The problem is that I do not know what name to put on the premises.
Can you help me? An original name that is catchy, difficult to forget.

Thanks in advance.

Leaving aside the marketing of large companies, with their big ideas and larger budgets to squander, which will focus more on striking names, appropriate colors and specific typefaces, the first thing is to have a clear business plan.

There was an ad (I think it was from a bank), in which, when talking about self-employed individuals, they used as an example that their businesses usually had names that made their activity clear. In your case it would be "Computer Science …".

Then, you have to evaluate what your strengths and weaknesses are, and if the business is new and no one knows it, a good idea may be to name it after the street it is on, and that way everyone will know where the store is (eg: Computer Science Abetos, if it is on Abetos Street, or form a pack with the number it is on, Abetos14 Computer Science, etc...).

All of this are basic ideas, which can be adorned and overloaded as much as you want, and always thinking about a neighborhood business. But if your aspirations are much greater, and online sales or your positioning on the net predominates, then start by playing with a domain registrar, putting in short but easy-to-remember concepts, that you can associate with your business.

What a long winded post

What a long-winded explanation

Cheers!

very good advice.

I would add, as a note, that if your idea is to create a store on a local level, for your neighborhood, your city, etc, RUN AWAY from names or endings in English… that are so common these days, like:

Computing Jose Manuel
24h Repair

And lean more towards what Fassou says, a compound name, of 2 words or so, in Spanish, easy to remember and that has a direct relation to the sector

Since, regardless of the field in which you move, but even more so if it is local, a large part of your potential customers may be [parents, grandmothers, uncles] who come to have their [pc, console, mobile, tablet, etc.] fixed for their [son, grandson, nephew] who has [formatted, broken, misconfigured] ….

They are people who, for better or for worse, do not have much technological culture, and to whom an easy, close, "neighborhood" name will stick much faster, and will spread much more by word of mouth than a strange name that they won't even know how to pronounce.

However, in the case of having to use anglicisms, there are always very short and direct words that can work and stay in everyone's memory, see the case of "Beep".

To a large extent it depends on the field and the amount of people you want to reach. Obviously, you will say that the more people the better, but personally, the older I get, the more I run away from super-compound names, or all the "cool" ones in English, and advocate more for recovering traditional names, like "Informatica Tal", "Zapatería Tal", "Electrodomésticos Tal". It evokes a feeling of closer treatment, less franchised, more personal, more artisanal...
