View Full Version : Need a good name for a "discount" video offshoot
Jeff Kellam February 24th, 2009, 09:03 AM Im going to do a marketing experiment to drive up some volume in wedding videos. I need a good or even a little gawdy name for the website and marketing. All marketing will be internet based directed marketing through facebook and similar sites, a local wedding one-stop website and maybe a little google.
Examples of names I am looking at are:
cheapvideo.com (1st choice, and not available)
cheapmemories.com
videodiscounters.com
weddingvideodiscounters.com
cheapovideo.com
discountvideo.com
memorydiscounters.com
etc.
Catchy and off-beat is always memorable.
Any good ideas?
Edward Phillips February 24th, 2009, 09:41 AM Cheap gives a negative feel to things as that can mean the quality is cheap not the price. I think the word you're looking for is value. valuevideo videostovalue or something like that.
Will Tucker February 24th, 2009, 09:47 AM Maybe you could add a fictional name too, like Uncle Bob's discount videos.
Jeff Kellam February 24th, 2009, 10:21 AM Cheap does seem to imply cheap although my intention is tounge-in-cheek.
some good ideas though:
teabagweddings.com (probably not)
unclebobsdiscountvideo.com (too long)
valuevideo.com (only available as not a .com)
bestvaluevideo.com (only available as not a .com)
Thanks for the ideas!
Tim Harjo February 24th, 2009, 02:45 PM Here's one I toyed with..
ImTooCheapToHireAProfessionalWeddingVideographer.com
Includes your 'cheap' word as well as wedding, professional, and videographer!
;-)
Jeff Emery February 24th, 2009, 03:06 PM How about VideoForCheapB*st*rds.Com
or YouGetsWhatYaPaysFor.Com

Jeff Kellam February 24th, 2009, 04:06 PM Around here they have "2 Men and a Truck" moving services.
So why not a amanandacamera.com
nofrillsnupitals.com (make it rhyme)
Ethan Cooper February 24th, 2009, 04:17 PM You could just look at the names of countless cut-rate places in your area and call yours:
Imjustasbadas(insert name here)
or use one of these:
IncompetenceMemories.com
whyhavesomethinggood.com
itjustyourweddingmemories.com
ahhellwhogivesacrap.com
epicfailweddingvideo.com
youpaidmoneyforthiscrap.com
justliketheother70%.com
steamingpileofpoo.com
everyonelovesacliche.com
Noel Lising February 24th, 2009, 04:20 PM I see where you are getting at, rather than get a name, why not add " recession packages available" in your marketing plan.
I like the nofrillsvideo.com idea, but google would probably direct it to No Frills.
www.videoonabudget.com (http://www.videoOnABudget.com)
www. budgetweddingvideos.com
Will Tucker February 24th, 2009, 05:43 PM How about Thrifty Video Production?
"Home of the $299 wedding video"
or
Discount Pro Video Services
"Where quality meets budget"
or
"Daddy's Camcorder Productions"
"Come Home to Savings"
SiuChung Leung February 24th, 2009, 07:03 PM How about
"Bargain Wedding Video" - Not only the greatest price
Lukas Siewior February 24th, 2009, 07:56 PM WeDontUseTripods.com
SiuChung Leung February 24th, 2009, 08:02 PM novowsvideo.com or doublevisionvideo.com (refer to shaky camera with no audio)
Tom Alexander February 24th, 2009, 09:46 PM Earlscheibvideo.com
"I'll shoot any video for $69.95, no ups, no extras"

Tim Harjo February 24th, 2009, 11:45 PM The long names are the best ;-)

Jason Robinson February 25th, 2009, 06:13 AM oh man, these names are great! I wish I had some brains left to try creating a few (far too late for that).
Gino Mancusa February 25th, 2009, 08:26 AM and although not as good as some of the doozies mentioned here, we still shouldn't forget some of the staples:
just plain ol
cheesyweddingvideos.com
and I think most of you will recognize
dancingbrideshadowswhilebridestandsstill.com (although this is usually a subset of cheesy wedding videos).
I think budget videography is implied.
Lukas Siewior February 25th, 2009, 09:17 AM New day new ideas:

Blush...Thanks, Ethan. And it's available! I'd better register it right away...

It's scary that you even took the time to look and see if it was available.
Vito DeFilippo February 25th, 2009, 06:22 PM It's scary that you even took the time to look and see if it was available.
I was trying to be funny, but I guess it didn't come through. Gotta remember those smilies, darnit :-)
Monday Isa February 27th, 2009, 07:36 AM Ethan's was really good. "youpaidmoneyforthiscrap.com"
I say you could go with
nohdcamforyou.com
