"Adventure Vacations around the World!!"
|
I am an avid traveler and adventurer and I have decided to start a business where we completely customize active vacations around the world for the upper middle and upper class. I know it might sound odd, but you would be surprised how many people in those financial categories want to break away from the typical resort vacation and go see what only the locals know about, while experiencing something new such as overnight kayaking, backpacking, rafting, etc..
I am asking for your help in brainstorming some names. The name should be appealing to a wealthy market, have something to do with experiencing something new, or active. Some ideas I have come up with already are:
Destination Unlimited (Taken) World Class Adventures Passport to ____________? _______ Destinations? Tailor Made Adventures __________ Therapy? First Class Adventures?
I'm not saying their great, but I have to start somewhere and hope that with your help I can come out of this with a great name. Thanks for your help.

Hi Derek-
I really like your idea. I was just reading something in Time magazine along the lines of your business idea.
Whatever name you get, make sure that you get the domain name.
I really like Tailor Made Adventures but the .com is taken. How about-
CustomizedAdventures.com AtYourWishAdventures.com AtYourWishTravel.com PlatinumClassAdventures.com
Good luck!

My brain has been working overtime on naming this business. Using the ideas you have given I came up with a couple more. What do you think of something along the lines of......
My Own Adventure myownadventure.com
My 5 star adventure my5staradventure.com
My custom adventure mycustomadventure.com
I don't know if a name like this appeals to my market. The plan is to come up with completely custom active vacations around the world while making it an adventure like no other, combining 5 star accommodations with adventure. Let me know what you think...Thanks

I would scrap any name that start with "my" - it just sounds cheesy. If you could get customadventure - that would be great! http://pagebuzz.com - Small Business Website Hosting. $19.99 per month, no up sells, no contracts, no surprises.

Derek, I also don't like the "my" which seems to imply for one only.
Based on what you have come up with now, here are some other suggestions...
Custom5starAdventure.com ExtraordinaryAdventure.com Elite5-starAdventure.com Self-StyledAdventure.com FirstClassGlobalAdventure.com Private5starAdventure.com VIPAdventureVacation.com
Good luck, Roger

I really like some of those names. Let me ask you something I had thought about. I was watching the Travel Channel and I realized that many of these upscale businesses are named after themselves. I know marketing just your name is very difficult but what if I included "Custom Adventures?"
Does
Falk Custom Adventures make sense?
I wonder if that is more appealing to my market?
Thanks.

I think adding your name might be a good idea in this case. It lends some distinction and credibility to your business as if you have already been operating for a while.
I would go with Falk Custom Adventures and then perhaps develop a tagline/slogan to complement your name which could help better define what Falk Custom Adventures is all about.
I would do some research to make sure that your name(Falk)is not being used by another travel-related business if you haven't already done so.
Go for it... Roger

Adding your own name is the way to go. Marketing wise its actually easier because names are usually easier to remember - and yours, in particular, would be easy.
Use the shorter versiom with the tag line.
Stay away from names with numbers unless you can get both the digit and the spelled out version - i.e., five and 5.
