Need a good name for a "discount" video offshoot
 
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!

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

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
www. budgetweddingvideos.com

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"

The long names are the best ;-)

lol... and my favorite..

worsethancellphonevideo.com

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:

bookmeneverwillshowup.com

filmyourweddingwithaiptek.com

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
