Brand Name Problems: Should You Use Your Name or a Brand for Your Business?
A decade ago, registering your name as a .com was considered a “vanity URL” – but not any more! Many business owners are using their names for their website addresses and even the name of their business. But many of my clients who are just starting out have a hard time deciding whether to use their own name or a unique brand name for their business.
One of the biggest issues I see that my clients may not even recognise, is the emotional weight of the decision.
