Geno 1,928 #1 Posted December 16, 2014 Looking for a new business name for what we're doing here. We are thinking of closing most of the repair business here other than lawn tractors and electrical and greatly expanding the stuff we do. I was on the phone with Terry this morning and he mentioned we should have something like a name and number on a decal to put on the tractors we sell. I guess it would be our dealer decal... Just thought someone here could come up with maybe something cool, got any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlenPettit 1,714 #2 Posted December 16, 2014 Something simple, clean, and reasonably short. Easy to recognize, read and be descriptive. Should be a big part of your future Website name. FYI Most expensive word in the English language: In the late 70's, Standard Oil wanted a new name, because their company was known by 23 different names world-wide, mostly because they started small and many other people had already patented/registered "Standard" in the early 1900's, and they demanded too much to 'sell their name' to the Rockefellers. Standard Oil researched every word in every country for something that would be easy to spell, to say and had no negatives about it (which the word 'Standard' did). Total cost to research, register and to protect it world-wide was $50,000,000. The present name of the company is now Exxon, (then an oil spill nearly ruined that word). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #4 Posted December 16, 2014 Are you restoring and servicing other brands also, and do you want to use the Wheel Horse name for your business? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #5 Posted December 16, 2014 I will continue to service other brands locally but the sales, restorations, restoration parts, used parts, decals, (not like Terry's), etc will be only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #8 Posted December 16, 2014 I would keep it simple I've been thinking about doing the same thing I just rented a shop/office with loading dock and forklift right now its just wheel horse storage because I don't have the time and it's hard to walk away from a 20$ an hour job so its more of a plan for the future 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,928 #25 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I've got something started I like for now. It will be on the equipment, sort of a dealer decal. It may not end up to be the name but it will work for now as a decal so people know where the stuff came from. I made what is below so far but I had to call in Terry in on this cause I was going nuts making a G. It may be Genos Horses or Genos Stables if Terry can do it. I think I'm driving him crazy some more. Edited December 17, 2014 by Geno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
