Hi,
I'm creating an online store to sell high quality paper and Cards. I aim to offer a personalised Card service (we send direct to recipient) and we also differentiate from other competitors by offering handmade cards. This is a general summary of our business model. We are looking for names for a company and would like the word "card" incoporated into the title.
Can you think of any names for our company. Also would you use our company?
Name a new Business?
Gael! Loved you in Amores Perros! :)
I used to work for a company like this, I have to tell you it won't be easy. But I wish you better success than we had (I got laid off along with most of the company)....
Reply:I think that is a very good business idea... A good name would be "Personal Touch Greeting Cards" or "Personal Greetings"...If I think of any more I will let ya know....
I like cardempire, that sounds good.

2. Cardography
3. Card-iac
4. Card-toon Characters
There already is a website, cardempire.com. If that's your site, you should change the colors so it is legible. It's too much trouble to read as it is now. Most greeting card websites are kind of open and cheery, with lots of white/light space. Dark is depressing.
Just wondering ... If you're gonna ask us for names for your company ... are you next gonna ask us for cute messages for your greeting cards? You are gonna have to pay us for that ... or at least give us some free sample cards.
Reply:The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance.
The name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future.
Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...
I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" %26amp; have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.
I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.
Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free %26amp; a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.
Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending %26amp; registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.
There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names %26amp; yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success %26amp; happiness in all your ventures!

Reply:don't tell people the names you are thinking of, otherwise someone will go out and buy that domain name and you will loose it.
but that is a good sounding name, but if you want that, better get it.

How can you register your new business name?
I am in the process of starting a new business (1st time b.o.) and I wanted to know what is the process of registering the name of the business and where to check if it's already taken and I can't use it. I've been searching online but so far I haven't been able to find useful information. I would really appreciate some help.
How can you register your new business name?
To protect a business name within your industry, you would apply for a trademark.
Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry.
Of course, it's necessary to research the mark comprehensively prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party.
This entails searching the pending %26amp; registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.
To register a trademark, that's done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent %26amp; Trademark Office for a Federal trademark.
If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US %26amp; any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success %26amp; happiness in all your ventures!
Reply:go to city hall and get a license for about $100.
Reply:when I started my biz I contacted the state taxation dept.
they sent forms and I was on my way.
You need to contact your local government and they can help you get started.

What is the quickest and easiest way to start building business credit?
I started an online internet company in may 2007. So far we have built up several domain names, established and online and just got our EIN, federal tax id#, I need to know what the quickest way is to build business credit without using my personal fica score? Right now our business has no credit except for the net worth of our company, valajio networks!
What is the quickest and easiest way to start building business credit?
The best way to establish credit is to ask the people you wish to establish credit with. Go to a bank and ask them. They'll probably advise you to borrow some money on a 90-day note. You may have to put something up for collateral, including cash in an escrow account.
Reply:I assume you have a bank account in the company's name. Get income, pay wages, pay taxes.
Only a fool would loan you "business credit" at this time. Any and all credit will be based on your FICO score and will be underwritten by you. If the business fails, they will expect YOU to pay them back.
Reply:What about opening a secured credit account?

Any good e-business ideas?
I am 15 years old, and I'm quite the entrepreneur. Over the summer, I made good money buying things in bulk and then reselling them on eBay. This was a good strategy for me, however, now that I'm back in school, I no longer have time to operate it.
I know there are plenty of routes for me to take e-business wise, and I have a few good ideas of my own. I need something that is fairly easy to operate...maybe some sort of service or product that doesn't require shipping, something I can do fully on my computer/online.
Any good e-business ideas?
Here are some good ebusiness ideas
1. User Generated Sites - Think of the mega-successful site MySpace.com, the prime hangout of over 65 million mostly young people (and those who want to reach them) where users built their own little profiles, adding photos, videos, blogs or music.
2. Think Casual - With broadband increasingly available, more and more people are using the Web to do even the most casual activities – chatting, connecting with friends, or sharing photos and videos.
3. Google Adsense - contextual advertising is hot right now with Google Adsense at the forefront.
4. Search Engine Marketing -- Search engine marketing has become a critical component in increasing awareness of a website and getting customers to buy products or services on the Web.
5. Online Classifieds -- According to JupiterResearch, U.S. online classifieds is forecast to grow from $2.6 billion in 2005 to over $4 billion in 2010.
6. Power of Mix and Match -- Called “mashaps” or mix-and-match, they serve as aggregators, filters and organizers of available content.

Top Online Gaming Sites?
Ok, so I'm curious as to which video game sites online are considered the most reputable, comprehensive, and corporate sponsored. There are a bazillion "indie" gaming sites that I don't pay much attention to..I want to know which ones are visited by a lot of people and are run sort of like a business. I know of Gamespot.com...any others?

Is there a business that will develop a disposable camera into full-size digital shots and skip the prints?
I keep my photos digitally. I do not want prints. All the brick %26amp; mortor shops are set up only for people who want prints. All the online shops are set up for people who want digital low-res shots and who will order prints. I just want digital, full res files without paying to get prints made. I also do not need photos on a CD, I'm happy to download them. I'm just looking for a business that handles this market.
Is there a business that will develop a disposable camera into full-size digital shots and skip the prints?
Ritz Cameras and many others will develop your film and scan the negatives. They only have the capability to burn it to a CD, but you can ask for no prints without a problem. I worked at Ritz for almost 5 years and I myself do not get prints when I have film developed.
Reply:JEN is wrong, look for a Telecine place, like: Avid or atlab, they can process your film and scan the negative into a computer as a positive and download, etc. to you
Reply:for a disposable camera you have to put the pictures into print form before they can be made digital... because the image is made as a negative on film, it has to be made into a positive print before it can be scanned into a computer as digital.
So I think the answer to your question is that you need to spend the money on a decent digital camera.

Is online banking really safe?
okay i know when u get a cell phone or even start an account in a bank the business actually does put ur personal info in the internet....so r there systems any safer than ours? or is it really about the same...if not so wouldnt it be the same security as if u used online banking?
Is online banking really safe?
Large banks do not use the Internet to transfer data. The use optical fiber which can not be sniffed. Smaller banks may use the Internet to transfer data and if they are surely using VPN's with 128-bit encryption.
If worked in IT for several large banks, they are totally safe. Been using online banking for 12 years now.
Reply:I believ it is everyday billions of dollars are transfered online. I do all my banking bill paying online and I'm not a computer expert.
The key is to use a username and password that no one knows only u that would be very hard to figure out. Then make sure you are on YOUR banks website. Sometimes scammers send you an email asking u to logon to the banks website but, it is a fake site that looks exactly like your bank (allmost) and they steal your user name and password right out from under you. Just remember the web is just like the real world some people are bad some are good u just need to use good common sense and be smart about who u give ure persoanl info too.
Reply:the best we can ask for is that the protocol used is https if you are signing up or banking on a site that just logs you in with http be very wary good banks will lock up the site with encryption.
Reply:online banking is pretty safe. I use Bank of America, and I know that they have a specific program that kicks in every time you log. When you sign up, you get a "picture" of something.. apple, tree, whatever. Then, everytime you are asked for your password, you see that picture. This means that if at any time someone tries to "pop" a page at you for your passwords, you will know, since they dont have the correct "picture". As a computer security major, I can tell you that these people are doing everything in their power to keep you safe. I have seen some of these security programs.. and you simply cant get past all their tripwires :)
Reply:Online banking transactions are 128 bit encrypted so it's very safe from hackers, but don't use any kind of password manager to that in the event that your computer gets stolen, they can't take your money.
Reply:Online banking is very safe. The Banks use Encryption. I recommend you talk to your bank or a bank about this. I use online banking and rarely have to visit my bank. I love it and feel completely safe using it.
Reply:Yes I believe so.
Make sure the URL reads: https://
make sure the URL has an s after the http.
This ensures it is a secure server.
Reply:i love online banking...really convenient...really fast...just helps ur day go a lot better...
