It can lead to some great conversations - and potential clients.Jeff Fisher LogoMotiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482311111316240290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18472575.post-13188309676692981192007-04-18T10:29:00.000-07:002007-04-18T10:29:00.000-07:00I was actually in a similar boat when I was first ...I was actually in a similar boat when I was first coming up with my name - it's two and a half years ago now, but all of my friends told me that "the zen kitchen" was a horrible name for a design studio and that people would think I designed kitchens, or was a restaurant, or something similar. At my first networking event, the moderator even miswrote my name, calling me "Zen Kitchen Designs" - which annoyed the heck out of me, since every single person I spoke to did end up asking me if I designed kitchens. I could have made a fortune if I did!<BR/><BR/>But you know, I stuck to my guns, and kept the name, and it's been one of the best marketing moves I could make. Everytime I meet someone now, they say, "the zen kitchen... ooh, what's that?" And I get to tell them. Gotta love those easy segueways.<BR/><BR/>And for the record, I really like your business name, and would have back then.Dani Nordinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868255444012592794noreply@blogger.com
