Apr 26, 2006 (Herald Sun - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australians who establish new businesses are advised to take a number of factors into account when settling on a business name. Stephen Downes, of RMIT University, says it is essential that a name is distinctive from those of an enterprises' competitors. In addition, brand names should be memorable and easy to understand by all. He suggests that people avoid selecting a name that is too quirky or that may not appeal to a broad range of consumers. Downes also recommends that a name not be too descriptive, in case the business needs to expand into other areas as it grows.
