A long time friend has been out of a job for two years. During that time she has worked as a house sitter, been a personal assistant, party planner, done floral arrangements for weddings - a "Jill" of all trades. She is also an artist and working on a line of painted floor cloths. She is developing a website to offer her varied services under the main topics of personal assistant/housesitter and needs suggestions for a name for the business. TVCH people are bright, creative and generous with help in these matters so I thought I'd ask for your help. She is targeting the Southern CA market including some hi end beach communities but also wants to appeal to working moms, business men & women etc. Thanks in advance.

Does she want to have her name in it? Like if her name is Karen, then Karen for You is cute.

I'm stumped. Let me sleep on it. I'm exhausted and have no idea why I am still awake. The computer is evil. It is sucking out my brain.

I like her idea very much. I like the idea of "Jill of all Trades", too Handy Woman House Helper Free Your Time Housewife for Hire The Housewife Helper Assistant Housewife The Home Helper Those are probably dumb. I'm tired. LOL Hope she comes up with a good one. Her thoughts are great, and I'm in the SoCal area, so keep me informed, will ya?

As a marketer, I'm afraid her business idea is pretty diverse for easy naming. I would suggest that she decide her main focus first, and name her business accordingly. In addition, she'll have a hard time gaining ground in search rankings without a focus. Even personal assistant/housesitter are two very different services....there may be a very specific market for people who need both, and perhaps that could be her niche - just have a select few high dollar clients for whom she does it all? But really, to start a business the first thing you need to do is focus, then the name falls more clearly out of that. For example, if she's going to do errands for other people - Errands For You. The name clearly explains the service offered. For a more general service, tho I don't advise it, maybe "Help for Your _______" Chores? Life? I'm Here For You Life Made Easier
