how about Grosey`s place??????

ahh i think u guys missed one!
i dont see my name i suggested geez no thanks!
pfft

As it seem my ideas`s were not taken into account i guess that means no $1000 for me(bummer) that still leaves me homeless for a while any suggestions????????????

2 b honest they aren't clever or new names-a name with multiple meanings will attract more customers cus it makes people think about it and how clever the owner was to think it up

being on stirling hwy with alot of passing traffic, i think its a bit silly not to have kitesurfing or kiteboarding in the title. I think the windsurfing bit is less important, most people buying that gear are already windsurfers who already know about the shop.

People will drive by.

"WINDSUPPLY, WTF is That a whoopie cushion shop???"

instead of

"KITESURFING, OMG I WANT TO TRY THAT!, WOOHOO YEAH LETS GO GET SOME LESSONS AND BUY SOME GEAR"

i probably would not recommend using "wind toys "as it is a brand of sail board

Thanks alot KAOS for your vote of confidence. [}:)]
Wind toys was one of my suggestions.

At least the name eludes to the customer what type of product the shop is selling.

"blownaWA" has someone mensioned that before... i'm too lazy to read the previous posts

I just hope that the new shop takes people kiting at a better spot than Peli Pt.

With regard to the new name...I feel it important that the shop know what it is going to sell. If it is going to go Kitesurfing all the way, then the name must express that. However, if they are going to sell all sorts of stuff then almost any name will do...like the many mentioned about. I personally would hope that they specialize in Kite Stuff, and have everything in stock. Wouldn't know if the shop would survive given rent, staffing etc....I'm not in the business. They need to do what they love and do it well and the customers will find them.

Most of all, I wish them wind.

Can I suggest that the building be repainted neon orange or black, and put great graffiti-like graphics on it of kites and people.

We have a winner:-

WindForce

Sorry it has taken a while to announce, but we had a lot of good entries and it has been hard to decide.

So congratulations to Erland Madsen our winner.

new shop - u announced the winner just in time. i'm sure i saw martin king snooping around your front door looking for a scandal scoop

Yes, you are correct he didn't post on Seabreeze as quite a few people didn't. We figured not everyone would want give there contact details on the forum.

As was stated in the entry conditions:-

WindForce

A $1000 gift voucher equates in real terms to $500 cash tops.
So for an outlay of $500, the new shop scored a mailing list,
some backyard marketing that resulted in finding a new business name,
and a forum pimp-fest that dragged on for weeks and weeks that firmly put the word out.

That's cheap marketing/advertising/exposure in anybodys language.
The only problem I can see with the new name is the easy butchering of it by disgruntled customers,
from Windforce to Windfarce.

Good luck.
