Company Names

[memetic]

What are some cool company names (or that stick in people's minds) that anyone has thought of and wished they used? I'm having a mental block and can't think of anything except "Busy Beavers". I don't know if that name is lame enough to be cool.

LOL I saw on ebay today there is equipment for sale from "Monkey King Tree Service" and his chipper is the "coconut grinder". ROFL :monkey:

My old business partner of many years back once wanted to name our company, 'Renegade Tree Service' referring, of course, to our youth and ambition, rather than a 'rejection of lawfulness or conventional behavior' as Webster's defines it. It's not exactly the name a customer would look for when searching the phone book for someone who's professional and follows a certain code of ethics in how he goes about his work...

In my area, name isn't as important as name recognition which you can only get from being around awhile and doing good work (i.e. your customers talk about you to their friends in a positive way). Most of the bigger successful companies simply go by their first, last or both first and last name suffixed by 'Tree Service'. Nothing flashy - but customers know who they are dealing with because the owner's name is in the company name.

There was a chimney sweep I knew calling himself Cinder Fella. Or maybe that is a really common name and I am too ignorant to know better.

Do you want the name to represent what you do or do you want the phone to ring?

Three Sisters Tree Service...
-"no wood too big, no wood too small"

Think about the decision makers in most families...the phone will ring.

Right now my company name is my name. But, because I do architecture and landscape architecture my name is already well established in those fields. I am running the new tree service under my current business name, but because I took on a partner we want to separate the tree business under another name (I think he wants some recognition, or say in the matter, since he is a partner and all). We want a company name without either of our names.

How about "Chainsaw Massacre Professional Tree Services"?

There is a company in the Portland, OR area called Treecology....I think it is really classy and says in a word what we should all stand for. Makes me think at least.................

Does anyone remember DINASAUR TREE out of Chestnut hill? They had the whisper chipper painted like a dinasaur. They were cool.

My company is named after my boss, after he bought the company from Frost & Higgins back in the 70's? 80's? Clean and simple, and his whole thought behind it came from his father, and I believe its true. You'll never work harder at something than when your name is on the line.

I work for C.L. Frank & Co.

get rid of the partner.....sounds like a ego problem.....

if you have " BILL'S SERVICE " . and have a great reputation...and you want to add to your service,, go with " BILL'S TREE SERVICE " a division of "BILL'S SERVICE" ...

if you go with " jack + joe tree service ".... people might not connect the two...

your working on your rep.,, not his....... JMHO

WOW,,, there is more than one "JUST STUMPS" ????

go figure.... LOL

"get rid of the partner.....sounds like a ego problem....."

He's actually a really good guy. It's mostly my idea and my empathy for him I guess. He seems to be happy about it anyway. It's not a big deal for me. I kinda want to separate the two things a bit. My clients know about me and what I do so I get the referrals regardless of name.

I like the "Monkey King" name. How about "Monkeys w/ Machines"?

The reason I thought of "Busy Beavers" is I used to work for a tile distributor/tile sales company called "Beaver Distributors". Their name (and thus company) was famous, a lot due to all the tile contractors and their plethora of jokes. And beavers definitely tie in with trees. I guess my idea for a name isn't quite as funny or alluding.

I guess if I think about families and who's calling, like suggested, I think it will probably be the man of the house, so probably need to appeal to them?

 

[SustainableTree]

Just my .02............there are two companies within 50 miles of me that have names similar to "Busy Beavers" one is just that and the other is "Eager Beaver Tree Service". Don't obviously know about your area. May not be unique.........unique is what people will remember.

 

[OTG BOSTON]

Just use the area you are from.....Boston Tree Preservation, Boston Tree Svc., Boston tree care specialists'........

 

[ropensaddle]

I did not name it this but did think of doing so; "No drugs tree service"

 

[ClimbinArbor]

wow you mean theres a tree service out there with no druggies on the crew???

could i come work for you lol

 

[treemandan]

Just use the area you are from.....Boston Tree Preservation, Boston Tree Svc., Boston tree care specialists'........

For you it would be BOSTON PUTZES.
I can say that cause I am a million miles away... but NO, You are right.
A name that includes the area you work in it has a certain solid serene roll to it and is much bettter than JOE'S TREE WORK, which just sounds bad. I don't want to say why.
The first statement was entirely made to rile you up to scold me but I think I really like your idea. I was lucky to get the name I wanted and the whole concept behind the name is working... slowly. As long as I live there will only be one now as the name is copyright I guess.

You would have liked the two wackjobs that just installed my kids playset. I go with Meth. They said they are coming back to finish in the morning and we didn't need to be here. Now that is someting to really laugh at, "sure no problem, come on over!"
By the way I was going to build my own swingset out of all the pine I had milled but the wife took over( I was procrastinating). she ran to the most expensive place who in turn sent out these two "work releasers" who claimed to be sub-contractors.
With the new storm work I have to do it was a joy to watch someone else work for a change.
I feel am pretty good at judging a man's poison. I was right about the new attendant at daycare. I could tell by her leoperd skin panties and hollow face. She's out, these two swingset guys are so afraid of me by now I don't think I will have a problem. They were sitting on the lot when we pulled in from a " long day" and didn't move out my way fast enough. I thought I chased them off at first.

 

[OLD CHIPMONK]

I like the name " DOWN & OUT TREE SERVICE "
