Here's a few things to keep in mind:
1) Keep your industry, your clients/customers, your advertising plan in mind.
2) The more unique & distinctive a name, the higher the chances that the name is legally available for use. And the higher the chances of obtaining the trademark.
3) Think of your business as having a personality. What kind of image do you want your business to portray?
Specific brainstorming tips:
Think about what you want but more importantly, think about what you DON'T want. If you don't want a 3-word name, don't bother with those. If you don't want non-English words, don't bother with those & so on and so forth.
What are the "types" of names you like? Think about words in their simple forms, e.g. adjectives, Latin roots, mythological names, etc. Compile a listing of the types & then seek out resources, such as books or sites, which specialize in those types.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Contact a consultant in the market your are introducing. Do a heavy survey prior to deciding. Money spent up front is money gained on the back end.

Find a synonym for what the products maybe be used for and you can rhyme it, or find a word that sounds clever with it. It's hard but if you once you find something that stays in your mind, it's probably the right one!
Something catchy!

Might help to include what kind of products you sell..."non-food" is too vague.
