Re: Business names

I had a ltd company, called it driftwood tree surgery.

If I was to "go again" it would most likely be arboricultural services, because the clients I would want to attract would know what it meant and would be more profesional to them.

ha ha, or the customer that you would attract would relish in the fact that you would spend all day writing them a report instead of a quote for nothing, then get a tree surgeon in to do it for £5 cheaper.

dont assume everyone has the same view on our industry as you, marketing, advertising and human psychology is a bit more complicated than that

Marketing is something I can do perfectly well, and I know enough about physcology, I come from a dysfunctional family! lmao
