Missed Marketing Opportunities II

Having an entrepreneur as a father is interesting. It gets you thinking about other business opportunities and how you can turn creative endeavors into a lucrative business.

He's also where I probably got my sense of humor. I remember when I was about 12 and I was helping him with some research of hair salons he said, "let me know if you see a place called Curl Up And Dye". One of his colleagues asked "why?". He just looked at him and said, "because it's funny." I was thinking, "Duh! why else would I look for that?". hahaha.

By the way, though my father got famous from doing hair (and having hair products) he also now has his own wine! If you want some good wine go to Bush-Field. It's seriously a good wine; a Pinot Noir...and yes my last name is embedded in the wine. "There's a little Bush in every bottle.". Ok, I'll work on the marketing end of that campaign...probably not the route we should take. ;-)

But hey, I'm not here to plug wine. This does relate to missed marketing opportunities and the entrepreneurial spirit.

I think I would start a company JUST for the sake of having the name. I think the name would be worth starting this business just for the marketing opportunities alone. I suppose I work backwards in some respect...like with my music site, I actually drew the logo, then thought of a name for it, then found an application in which to use it (my music). Who knew I actually could do music? But the logo came first.

That being said I think some names were missed out on and I want a company with that name. I'll figure out what to sell later. I haven't researched any of these.

Squid, Inc. - That would rule! Almost doesn't matter what you sell...it would have a great ring to it. Probably should sell pens or Calamari.

Interslice - This is actually from the Simpsons where Homer is trying to think of a name for his internet company, "I need something cutting edge, like Edge-Co or Cutcom....Interslice....". Great name...I actually think people have taken this one.

How about a pool hall called Fuh-Cue? That would be awesome.
"Where you going?"
"Fuh-Cue"
Think of all the black-eyes that would be had as result of that name! I'm a bit of an anarchist, what can I say.

This one is credited to my friend Albert. He wanted to make a movie titled "Head". Then have a sequel shortly after with the tagline, "From The People Who Gave You Head". Ha! Genius!

If you have any ideas, shoot them over to me. And let's start a business!
