I recently came across this photo on social media, and it made me think about names for window cleaning companies.
If you have read my previous posts, you will know I love a clever name for a business. And this is one of the best I have seen. Just in case you don’t get the joke, say the name out loud as one word, and you should get … missed a bit.
Perhaps it’s not the best for those who take their names literally. But I think it is both clever and funny, which makes it memorable. And every businesses wants to have a name people can recall easily.
I have a personal interest in window cleaning, as my cousin started his Clear Bright business over 20 years ago. He has lots of great window cleaning stories from his years popping up and down ladders.
As an aside, he also came up with a brilliant invention for improving map indexing, to make it much easier to find customers houses. GB2365196A Identifying locations on a surface, e.g. a map. As with so many inventions, its value was not recognised by the map producers of the day. So the it went down the cul de sac of history.
In terms of describing the service offered, Clear Bright is a pretty good name.
Here are a few highlights from over 700 UK window cleaning companies I found on a recent Fame database search. I’ve marked my favourites with a *. Which are your favourites and why?
