[Hambone24]

only one thing you need to fix not "to days" but one wore "today"

[e57]

Use ALL OF THEM - thats a 'bright idea'....;) Let the customer choose... Mix and match...

But why does everything take two days? :grin: Sorry spell check can do a number on ya...

[Dnkldorf]

Are you steadfast on "ideas" only?

Bright Thinking for Bright Ideas, or something along the Bright Thinking line.

Just a thought..

[kingpb]

Do you only have ideas or are you also going to do work?

What type of work are you going to do; service work, residential, commercial, industrial?

Bright Electric - Brings good things to light!

Of course, you might want to check with GE to see if they have it trademarked.

Let us brighten your home.

Better hurry, if you want to get this to the trademark office before I do. :grin: :D

[ceknight]

How about: "A Catchy Slogan Should Appear Here" ?

Or "If You're Not Bright Enough, Call Us"

:)

[zbang]

How about: "A Catchy Slogan Should Appear Here"

Call me a curmudgeon, but really don't like cute slogans, so this one's my favorite.

[petersonra]

How about: "A Catchy Slogan Should Appear Here" ?

Or "If You're Not Bright Enough, Call Us"

:)

Either one is better than the other options IMO.

maybe "A Catchy Slogan Should Appear Here, but we are not bright enough to come up with one".

[al hildenbrand]

"Let us Brighten your personal places"

[bphgravity]

"Bright Ideas For All Your Electrical Needs".


PS - Congratulations

[satcom]

Call Bright And Have It Done Right

WIRE IT RIGHT CALL BRIGHT

[cowboyjwc]

How about, "Was this your Bright idea?" or "Whose Bright idea was this?"

I'm guess those will be more appropriate about a year down the road.

LOL. Just my opinion. : )

Good luck to you.

[memyselfandI]

"Bright Idea Electric... Let us check your shorts."

[ceb]

We are as Bright as a burnt out light bulb..... No that's not it.
You are as Bright as a burnt out light bulb..... No not it either

When I'm instructing electrical code changes seminars, I refer to two different electrical firms when I show my "violations" slides, I call them "Hectic Electric" and "Trunk Slammer,inc." :grin: :D

Here's another one for you "The Tasmanian Electrician" ...you know the type, a flurry of activity, looks like he's really "bringing it"....later on, you find out set screws weren't tightened, supports are missing, redheads on vacation, etc.

That's mine ("The Tasmanian Electrician" ) BTW ...but because I am so stupendous and magnanimous, IMEO (that's also mine), you can have it..for free.

[Romex Racer]

brightelectric.com is already taken. These days when selecting a business name, the most important consideration is the availablility of the domain name.

Whoop! Whoop!

.org suggests a tax exempt status, but offers reduced or free registration.

Free is always good :)

[satcom]

How about brightelectric.org?

Good choice on the .org since so many electricians are non profit.

LMAO.....good one

[Romex Racer]

How about brightelectric.org?

As you know, there are dozens of TLDs like .org .net .info .cc even .aero but a .com is the easiest for people to remember.

Also, never get a domain with a hyphen in the name.

As all the "good" .com names get gobbled up, what's left?
Wasn't there some chatter of .xxx domain names for "adult" sites?



Also, never get a domain with a hyphen in the name.
...and never put an underscore in email addess.

"Quality installations are a Bright idea"

[bikeindy]

"Quality installations are a Bright idea"

I like that one!

My tag line on our trucks is "Plug into Quality" all tag lines are goofy but mine fits the logo we have.

[brian john]

A employee once told me the last place he worked the slogan was.

"We may not be the best, but we are the most expensive"

My personal slogan, I use with my employees is.

"Who is the best electrician in Washington DC and why am I !"

[e2me]

Ok so if nothing else your comments were very entertaining! :D :grin: ;)
But I really did like a few so Im going to give you all one more poll as I have another week till the van goes to the sign shop.
And yes I did know that Brightelectric.com was taken but almost every thing is. Everyone gobbles them up in hopes of a resale. I will use a variation for the area Im sure like brightelectricofsiouxfalls.com or something the shorter the better so that one is out but that will be a smaller problem. Ill decide on the new poll today and post it later.

Truly once again thanks for all the help and stimulating questions that get answered here its fun just to browse and read some nights. I’ve been doing this now for 15yrs and still I learn little tricks and tips daily.
Also yes my market is the dreaded residential one. Where profits are gone and I can do it cheaper than you. But I do a lot of larger homes and rewires were there is still good money: roll: relatively speaking. Especially the rewires I actually enjoy them and the profit margins are huge in comparison.

[360Youth]

One I always cosidered was, "Bright Ideas Are Our Business."

[LarryFine]

brightelectric.com is already taken.However, brightelectricco.com is available.

fineelectric.com was taken (by a company in China) so I use fineelectricco.com

[brian john]

There was a local contractor.

"Bright it up where the sun don't shine ..........word."

[LawnGuyLandSparky]

"Bright Electric. We may not be very fast, but we're sloppy!"

[LarryFine]

"Let Bright Electric shine some light onto your shorts!" :D

[bkludecke]

Answer the phone, return messages, do what you promised, and don't overcharge. All the other stuff; logos, fancy trucks, uniforms etc. is all just fluff and smokescreen.

[EC_in_MA]

the Brightest bulb in the circuit ... the Brightest bulb on the tree ...

[brian john]

uniforms etc. is all just fluff and smokescreen.

I pretty much agree on most of what you said, BUT if you are doing service work, IMO uniforms of some type, be it NEAT blue jeans with a company shirt at a minimum give an edge of professionalism, make your guys look better and the customers know who is wandering around their facility.


I'd bet money that the average customers would agree.

[JohnJ0906]

Absolutely. When someone opens the door, and they see a neat, clean person, wearing a uniform of some sort (even jeans and company t-shirt) and a clearly marked company truck, they feel a professional is there. Also, hopefully, they will feel comfortable enough to open the door for you! Some guy in ratty jeans and a beatup pick-up, is this guy who he says he is? Belive me, I used to be the guy in cut-offs and a unmarked van, and I was refused entry several times-no more!

[dbuckley]

Bright Ideas from Bright Electric

Brighten your home - Bright Electrics or Home too dull? Call Bright Electric

There must be dozens of catchy slogans with a name that good.

[FNCnca]

The BRIGHT way is the RIGHT way.

18-19 years ago... I show up at a renovation job - full dormer going on a Cape. The entire house just had it's siding stripped off and the exterior walls were devoid of windows (new ones were going in.) Entire yard strewn with debris, vans & trucks parked all over lawn. Looked like the house exploded.

Was denied entry because I showed up at the front door instead of the side "service" door.
