    One of my least loved compeditors uses the name "Fine Eyes" doesn't sell anything he can't get an exclusive on, doesn't have a frame under $350.00, doesn't get along with anyone in the business (prescriber, detail person, compeditor or anyone else that I can tell) , doesn't have clue on the technical side of the business (don't think he can read a lensometer) seems to be one of the most successfull optical shops in the business. Appearently his optical shop name and sales aproach, and exclusivity has enough snob appeal to work very well for him.

    Redhot Jumper Weird result during a search.............................

    I checked out above website........................for website traffic at http://alexa.com
    and I get a traffic rating of 2,546,749 which is very high for a retail website.

    But then the alexa result side also showed
    Site Information for dl-mingyuan.com which is a chinese site.

    Categories for fineeyes.com


    Categories for fine eyes ridgeland ms

    · Business > Food and Related Products >Fats and Oils


    Queries related to fine eyes ridgeland ms






    The I search Network solution "Who Is" search for the registered name and got referred to GoDaddy.com who had the registration for the owner name in Ridgeland MS.
    Very weird results, a combination of USA and China information

    I like the name Eye Masters, but it just doesn't do it all, plus it's taken.

    Any ideas?...
    Everytime when I am finding some name ideas for business, I would prefer to find the Domain first, then find the corresponding Business name. As these days the Domain is not easily available, so the idea of biz name and domain name should be very creative. Even you do not sell eyeglasses online, you still need decent online presence with a easy-to-remember domain name and set up your website. So find the domain first. For exampe, you can still register the domain name www.Gators.com, then your biz name could be Gators Optical or other similar names showing expertise and professionalism.

    Grinoo Optical, or Grinoo Eyecare-------Professional Eyecare Service You Grin
    Of course, if you can register www.grinoo.com, then you can register this name.

    I like For-life's quote by Eastman. A meaningless name is good when you invent something (like film). Since you didn't invent glasses, you will need a meaningful name.

    But you can't choose a name until you choose a differentiating strategy. Then choose a name that conveys it.

    Lens Masters

    Now you can have the spillover from both and get them both PO'd. And I don't think it's taken.

    I wouldn't trust anyone who dispenses "Sharmir" lenses...I wonder if his spelling is all part of the exclusivity gag

    I thought I would always use "The Master Optician". Talk about conveying a message!

    Not completely on the subject of names as I have drawn a blank(or optics for that matter), but I absolutely agree with this statement. Reason being, I have a local nail place that I swear by. I have been going there for a few months now, and for some reason I cannot remember their name. I will tell you though, the service they put forth is incredible. Very friendly, efficient, clean and of course they just look so good when they're done!
