> I am going to start a small, home based PC service center. It will be the usual service center stuff as far as repair/upgrades are concerned. Until I build a clientel I *will* have to buy parts retail from a couple of local venders, which means little to no profits on parts, but I *will* have the lowest labor rates in Tahlequah. It helps since this is extra income and not my sole meens of survival.

I have a couple of options I'm milling around that I kind of like, but also want to hear what you all can come up with. The only thing I ask that you keep in mind is phonebook placement. Keep the first letter of the name within the first 3-5 letters of the alphabet so the ad in the phonebook is near the top.

Hey, I'm back from Las Vegas!!

Regarding your conundrum... you want a name that is not only memorable, but also at least partially descriptive of the services that you offer. I see many generic business names, and it just floors me that anyone would choose something like 'Northwest Business Services' over everything else. What would this office do?? There's a shop a mile or 2 away called Electronic Computer Services. Not only is it terribly generic, but even redundant... "Electronic Computer"... as opposed to what "Non-electronic Computer"???
Choosing the name of your business can be just as important as deciding what services you offer or how you advertise.
It's a name that you'll live with for quite a while (assuming you're successful), so at this point, it really is one of the biggest decisions you need to make.
