Default Which name do you like better?
Hello! I'm new to this forum and to the VA world. My husband and I have come up with a few names, but I really need to pick one. I'd like to have my website up and running by the first of the year.

I have 12 years of purchasing and planning experience, along with helping my husband run our company for a few years. So, my niche will be in procurement, while also offering general office services.

Given that background, we've narrowed it down to the following names (along with possible website):

Ginny - Virtual Assistant (www.ginnyva.com)
Ginny Villers Solutions (www.ginnyvs.com)
GV Office Solution (gvofficesolutions.com)
GV Procurement Solutions (www.gvprosolutions.com)

Or... do you have a better suggestion?

Thank you!!
Ginny

Hi Ginny,
Welcome to the forum!

I prefer GV Office Solutions personally because it gives people an idea of what your business is about. I think GV Procurement Solutions for example will confuse people, best to keep it simple but that's just my opinion.

Good luck with your venture!

I prefer GV Office Solutions or just Ginny Office Solutions, as the V over the phone may be misheard as a B.

I like GV Office Solutions. Anything with Ginny will have to be spelled out constantly over the phone, or even potentially mistyped by users who think they remember it. True, the V may need to be spelled (V as in VALUE ), but of the choices you presented, it is the best in my opinion.

Also, as Sabrina noted, it more clearly conveys while your professional field is.

Whoops! I wrote this in the wrong thread!

I really like your website...the color, the simple format, the tabs, and your logo (the flower). Congratulations on your 2nd client, and so happy to hear how much fun you are having.

Terri

I vote for GV Office Solutions! It is personal but describes what you do.

I like GV Office Solutions as well. If you are offering more than procurement services, then this will advertise that from the start.
