Hi,
I'm creating an online store to sell high quality paper and Cards. I aim to offer a personalised Card service (we send direct to recipient) and we also differentiate from other competitors by offering handmade cards. This is a general summary of our business model. We are looking for names for a company and would like the word "card" incoporated into the title.
Can you think of any names for our company. Also would you use our company?

We have one possible company name "Cardempire".com. Is this a good business name?
2006-09-26 04:21:12 · update #1
Also what color scheme? We are thinking of either red and black or a darkish Blue? Which color would make you want to buy cards?
PS Your suggestions so far have been great.

I was just brainstorming with cardempire.com and we do not own the domain name? There mus be a superb company name out there but I just cant think of it!

This is a link to the color scheme we may use. Obviously everything but the color's will be changed. Is it too depressing? Or should we differentiate fromm the competition?
Once again your suggestions are great and thankyou for your continued help

Gael! Loved you in Amores Perros! :)
I used to work for a company like this, I have to tell you it won't be easy. But I wish you better success than we had (I got laid off along with most of the company)....

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
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!

1.Rene de Cards (but only if your customers know Rene Descartes)
2. Cardography
3. Card-iac
4. Card-toon Characters
There already is a website, cardempire.com. If that's your site, you should change the colors so it is legible. It's too much trouble to read as it is now. Most greeting card websites are kind of open and cheery, with lots of white/light space. Dark is depressing.
Just wondering ... If you're gonna ask us for names for your company ... are you next gonna ask us for cute messages for your greeting cards? You are gonna have to pay us for that ... or at least give us some free sample cards.

I would use the service if the price were right. As a business, you won't stay afloat if your overhead goes too high.

I think that is a very good business idea... A good name would be "Personal Touch Greeting Cards" or "Personal Greetings"...If I think of any more I will let ya know....
I like cardempire, that sounds good.

don't tell people the names you are thinking of, otherwise someone will go out and buy that domain name and you will loose it.
but that is a good sounding name, but if you want that, better get it.
