Naming my Etsy Shop
Naming my business was one of the hardest things I had to do in prepertion for opening. I wanted the name to reflect who I was and what I wanted to do but it also needed to be catchy so customers would remember.
I would think of a name, set up an email, get other social media sites set up, than find another business with the same name. Yes I would always google it first but some how it would slip through.
Then one day my mum reminded me about the business name I thought of in college years ago, OrangePeelPaperie. My favorite colour has always been orange and I orangepeel was cute. I loved it and decided to roll with it, to date I haven't found another store with the same name.
When I decided to set up the jewelry store,
I thought of orangepeeljewelry right away ... but there was already a store with that name ... and they made jewelry out of dried fruit skin..
so I couldn't argue. lol In the end I setteled on my name JuniperTulipJewelry and haven't found a store matching it yet :)
So my advice would be to take your time, come up with something you like and that is distinctly you. Search Etsy, Amazon, Ebay, Redbubble and any other sites you might sell on to make sure its not taken and than lock it down. Once you pick a name than set up your email since you need that for everyother site you use or share to.
