Think about the service you are going to offer. What words come to mind? Keep a running list of these words. For example, a computer business offering computer repair may come up with words like: computer repair, computer technicians, computers, computer doctor, etc.

Think about words you would use to describe your business. Keep a running list of these words. If your computer repair business was cheaper than competitors, try words like discount, low cost, etc.
