Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Illustration Business

Your business’s name is the very first connection you will make with prospective customers. It’s important that you define your organization’s mission, vision, values, and target audience as much as possible. 

Before naming your illustration venture, ensure that you fully understand exactly how you will run your company. Familiarize yourself with the industry and determine what it takes to start a successful business by conducting thorough research.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind when launching and naming an illustration company:

• Illustrators provide their artistic talents to a range of clients, including advertising agencies, publishers, stock image services, web content providers, and other businesses.
• You must have artistic talents and an entrepreneurial drive. This means that your skill set must encompass both the ability to continually find work, to complete it to your clients’ satisfaction, and to continually find new clients.
• The target market might be commercial clients from your chosen areas of expertise or consumers who admire your artistic talents.

Creative Approaches to Naming an Illustration Business

The following are helpful tips to help you find a unique business name that is relevant to you and/or your industry:

Capitalize on Business Location

The name of your city is one great way to brand your business. You can also think of nicknames that define what your city or state is well known for.

Connecting Through Emotion

Words that evoke a certain emotion, reminders of personal experiences, and travel memories may be good for branding.

Pun Fun, Word Combination, and Alliteration

Make brainstorming fun by creating puns, combining two relevant words and/or concepts, or by using same letter and sound repetition.

Short and Sweet

Oftentimes, simply using one word for a business name can be more powerful and engaging for clients/customers. Carefully consider your brand and brainstorm adjectives and synonyms that describe your business idea. For instance, if you own an illustration business, ask yourself how you would describe what you’re offering (e.g. custom illustrations, logo design, graphic novel/comic illustrations, etc.). Consider how you want your customers to feel (creative, satisfied, entertained, etc.), and so on.

• Portratia
