Lumber Yard Business Name Generator

Naming your lumber yard could be a challenge if you are looking for something memorable. The best brand names often include the city or region name in them to help with picking up on search engine optimization. You may also want to use a family name (first or last) if the company has a local history. 

Lumber yard names should be distinct enough to allow them to stand out from the others in the area. At the same time, be sure they are descriptive enough that your most likely customers (including big contracting companies) can find you.

Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Lumber Yard

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 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 a lumber yard:

• A lumber yard sells construction materials to building contractors and property owners for renovations or new building structures. 
• An individual with solid business knowledge and skills will do well managing a lumber yard business. Knowledge and experience of building materials, procedures, and operations will allow you to anticipate the needs of your target customer base.
• Busy general contractors will be the meat and potatoes of your business, buying large quantities of materials from the yard on a consistent basis. You may offer them a wholesale discount price for their continued business.

Creative Approaches to Naming a Business

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

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 a lumber yard, ask yourself how you would describe what you’re offering (quality, variety of wood types, loading, no hassle, organized products, easy access, etc.). Consider how you want your customers to feel (time saved, helped, educated, safe, connected, lumber is high quality, etc.), and so on.
