Name for a new massage business?

I have just completed a massage course and hope to start a company soon. As such I need to come up with a name that hasn't been used that will make people want to come to me for a massage and/or reiki treatment. I may also have other holistic therapy treatments in the future so 'massage' or 'reiki' in the title isn't an option.

At the moment I have called it Oak Hill Therapy but not sure it is good enough. I also need a logo and strap-line to go with it.

Any help welcome

Mike

    Hello Mike,

    I've always heard that your business name should:

    1-Have a positive connotation

    2-Describe what your business does

    3-Memorable and easy to spell

    4-Be as short as possible

    5-Include a color or catchy logo

    So, with that, what about "The Healing Center" or "Oak Hill Healing Center" with a logo of two open hands-palm side up???

    Below is a great website resource for getting ideas on names because it has lots of massage school and ceu provider business names, which may give you some direction.

    It can also give some info on how to build your website on your own without spending thousands for someone to create one for you.

    Hope this helps and good luck with your new business venture.

    1) Include a reference to your area/location: You didn't mention your city/area but that's important to a lot of people. So, I live in Richardson, if I'm looking for a massage place, which one do you think I would call first: "Total Health Massage" or "Richardson Total Health Massage" 2) Find out what your desired customers are looking for. So from your description, you want to attract people who are open to the idea of "using energy modalities in combination w/ nutritional advice and overall total health to help w/ illnesses in lieu of unneccesary medication... solving the cause not treating the symptoms" which would probably be a different crowd than "rich old ladies with arthritis" or "hardcore athletes" - right? So... ask those people what they want. Do they want a certified herbal nutritionist on staff? Do they want a holistic energy guru on staff? Maybe hang out at a Whole Foods for a day, giving out "free 30 minute massage if you take a survey" cards. Take notes from these conversations - record them if you can. You will hear certain words and concepts repeated... see if you can incorporate them into your name. Good luck Scott

    Try keyword research in 5 minutes

    You will get better exposure with the search engines if you use a popular long tail keyword as your business name

    oak hill holistic clinic...where every body matters...very simple,but because you're including the word clinic,it makes it sound more professional and more therapeutic,and the logo is referring to the body
