It may not be the first thing on your list but it’s one of the more interesting: -choosing a name for your new start up marquee business.

There’s lots of general information about registering your name here.

If you read about marketing you’ll hear a lot about ‘promoting your brand’ and similar ‘brand awareness’ stuff. To me that’s not too relevant to a marquee hire company but if you want to apply it go ahead.

My main focus is choosing a name, you can either go for a descriptive name (Dorking marquee hire, Sussex marquees etc), a funny/clever name (in-tents, undercover, impressive erections!) or just a name you like the sound of.

Personally I’d go for a descriptive name every time, this is purely to help you in the internet searches. Someone isn’t going to search for ‘Spencers tents’ or ‘Spencers got you covered’. They could well search for ‘Dorking marquee hire’ or ‘marquees in Surrey’ though.  That could make the difference between you succeeding or failing in your new venture.

I’m very conscious of the fact that I describe this blog as helping people set up a marquee hire business but for most visitors it’s like coming along half way through a conversation -most articles are written assuming you’re already in business.

So what I plan to do is to write a guide on what I’d do if I was starting up a marquee hire business now, maybe split in to two angles – full-time or part-time start ups.

I’ll try to post the guide in a step by step process here then at the end I’ll put it together in a down-loadable guide.

If any experienced marquee erectors out there have suggestions of what to put in drop me a line, all suggestions welcome

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to all of our customers, thank you for your business and I hope we  can continue helping you to be successful in 2010.
