You will most likely have heard of the phrase mighty oaks from little acorns grow or as it is sometimes referred from little acorns do mighty oaks grow.
It was from the origins of that phrase that YewBiz was born.
It is all about You
The YewBiz Name
One of the first rules of business and marketing - is that it is all about You.
Focus on the client (you), make them successful, make them money and charge them a fair fee in return.
So we started thinking about company names (and domain names) with the word You in it.
And as we wanted to help “businesses” we immediately thought about the abbreviation “biz”.
Though its origins come from the entertainment world, as in “show biz”. Today, it is more commonly associated with fast moving businesses.
In colloquial terms, it means “the best” or “better than the rest” for example “you are the biz”.
The first derivative, YouBiz, was short lived once we discovered another company already owned the domain.

The Yew Tree
Before we continue with our story behind YewBiz, it is interesting to know a little about the Yew tree.
The yew tree is one of the oldest trees in existence, with trees commonly reaching 600 years. There is one particular tree in Perth (Scotland) believed to be 9,000 years old and it is one of the oldest living things in Europe.
Later we would discover, that very tree is only 60 miles from the kitchen our CEO and his wife first discussed the name for YewBiz.
The yew is an evergreen tree, so continues to flourish all year. We see similarities with businesses and marketing. Our mission is to help you flourish all year round, for many years.
In marketing, the term “evergreen” is commonly used to depict content that never ages, and which is as relevant as the day it was published. Google and other search engines prefer evergreen content.
The yew tree also offers value to wildlife, offering protection and nesting (life) opportunities to birds, as well as food for birds, squirrels and caterpillars. A goal of YewBiz is to give you reassurance and nourishment (marketing tools) to grow.
Yew trees are commonly associated with immortality, rebirth and transformation.
A fascinating fact about yew trees is their ability to regenerate from within. As the tree ages, parts decay and fall to the ground. From these parts, new trees take root and start growing as whole new trunks.
There are often smaller yew trees surrounding larger older trees as a result. Just like many businesses that have off-shoots (and multiple revenue streams) from the main company.
Finally, they are also considered to be “a bringer of dreams”.
WE STARTED IN A GARAGE
Our Humble Beginnings
What does YewBiz have in common with Apple, Google, HP, Amazon and Microsoft? They all started in a garage. It is well documented how these large household names started in a garage, and we are no different. Our first office was in a converted garage.
Each of those founders had a big idea. An idea to improve the world, to make things easier, to help the masses, and to make their offerings more affordable (perhaps we will exclude Apple from the last point).
