Brand Yourself, Brand your Forum Nickname and Brand your Business Name

weeecho servicios y mas = weeecho services and more

or

WS&M

if somebody search in google i be always the first or the second option

i always put in the name or in the description of the album my complete name or the abreviation
 
Absolutely great advice Mike, I've been thinking about my user names while reading, and i have not been consistent, most have my first name and a number, just trying to keep it short, but I'll have to think on that a bit.
My Business name is long but the name alone needs no further description:

"Scott's Mobile Headlight Restoration Service"

My full name: Scott Summerson

My user name here: SSLightRestore Should maybe make it "Scott@LightRestore" as this is my Biz email.

My website: LightRestore.com

Got me thinking...:props:

Thanks!
 
Thanks Mike for all your experience and teaching's and another valuable and wise write-up of infomation.

I've Used stang_krazy for many years all over different forum's and first seen and read this aritcle years ago on MOL and it has always stuck with me.

It's funny my wife always tells me that I can't remember nothing but It's odd that I can remember something Mike Phillips or Several other guys I look up too has wrote or said years back that I do remember. LOL!!!

Anyway thanks Mike :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
 
I am currently thinking of a name for my detailing business.

I like the name 'Before & After' and had some mock business cards made up. Would it be better to just have my real name in my business then?

ie. Niko Molina is my name so...

Molina's Auto Detailing
Niko's Auto Detailing
etc.?

Yes I am in it for the long-haul.

I think the name would help with your branding. And you're blessed with an interesting name that makes it more interesting, vs "John's Auto Detailing", just doesn't have much pizzazz. How about using the "Before/After" idea in your slogan. Highlight it just under your business name on your business card/brochure/signage.

I like that. It's actually going to be either 'Niko's Mobile Detailing" or "Molina's Mobile Detailing"

Not sure if I want to go with my first or last name lol.

But yeah that Before/After could be worked into a slogan. Good idea man.
 
Awesome article, Mike! This is really useful info. IMO, branding, being part of marketing essentially, is one of the most important aspects of a business and can sometimes be the determiner of success.

Thank you....

I've never understood the nickname craze on forums....

I find I personally remember people better when I can associate a real name with their posts.


:dunno:

I agree with all the above.

If it wasn't for Mike sharing the importance of this I think I a lot of detailers, including myself, would have headed down the wrong path to starting our businesses.

Like the TED talk by Simon Sinek states, people make a biological decision when deciding on a purchase, the why factor. Part of that why factor involves the human relationship/connection that a business creates with customers before a sale is even made.

Marketing yourself first is what has made so many businesses successful.

BTW TigerWash, how is Red Stick these days? BR and Livingston Parish are my old stomping grounds. Never thought as a kid that I would miss it but, the longer I spend away from there the more I miss it.

Next time I am in town I will give you a shout.

I've seen a lot of people over the years change for fuzzybunny77 to either their real name or their business name for a forum name.

Sure seems like a no-brainer to me... especially if you're in this for the long run...

And with so many similar nicknames sometimes I can't keep track of who is who and sometimes think im seeing someone else.
 
If a mod sees this, I'd like my name changed to J.Williams@perpetualradiance if it's not too long lol. If it is, J.Williams@PRD would be great.
 
I tried to start my account here as Mr. Slick. It said I couldn't do that (for some reason) so I put Slick. it accepted but put Slick01. Who do I contact it to make it Mr. Slick? my business name is Mr. Slick's Detailing Service.
