I Need Help Finding Some Good Slogan And Catchy Words.


hi.i am new here and i need help .i am trying to find a good name for my company and also some nice phrases for advertising and putting it on my business card.
my line of work is flooring.installing and refinishing hardwood floors.installing ceramic tile.i have been in business for about 5 years off and on ,i had to work for others due to lack of jobs since i am new to usa(i am a iranian refuge).but for past year i am getting more jobs and repead customers and referalls.so i think it is time for me to get every thing in order and start putting my name and service out there.so that is why i need some help finding a good name and some catchy taglines/slogan.
i used to go by S.D Construction which is my initial.but most of my customers know me by my name so its not like i am going to lose any because of name change.thank you so much in advance.sorry for any misspelling.

Personally I find slogan cheesy, gimmicky, and cheap. Do a damn good job, let your happy clients tell their friends. Repeat until exhausted, then add ten percent.

Re: I Need Help Finding Some Good Slogan And Catchy Words.


Either pick something based on a strength that sets you apart from others (you haven't included any details about your company so can't make any suggestions) OR something that acts as a counterweight to possible negatives.

For instance, being a foreigner to the U.S. can be perceived by some potential customers as a negative compared to your competitors who are native U.S. citizens. So a name like "All American Floors", "American Dream Flooring", "American Pride Flooring" or "Patriot Flooring" or something like that can help mitigate that perception.

I heard this once:

"Floors are like men, lay 'em right the first time and you can walk all over them forever."

Remember.... people are not going to buy from you because you have a witty slogan. They really don't care. Only you do.

Unless you're going to do a large-scale branding campaign (tv, radio, print).... you're logo will have zero value. Though these mediums may not work for you, they might get people remember your slogan.

Focus your efforts on strong offers. Reasons that your target customer wants to contact you... wants to buy from you... wants to be your biggest fan and tell their friends and family about you.

How about "Praise be to Allah Flooring". Your phone will ring off the hook, and the customers will be beating down your doors.
