CHOOSING A BUSINESS NAME

Now you have decided you really want to become a fiber fesitival vender you need a business name.  You may already have one in mind, if so yea for you.  Sometimes tho it is a real challenge to figure out a business name.  Don't pick out a name that is too cutesy or so far out that people can't pronounce it.  Remember this is a BUSINESS.  Look at that brochure of the fiber event you went to and check out the names of venders listed.  What names do you like-ie: Susan's Fiber Shop, Marlenes Felting Madness are 2 examples of business names with the owners first name in the business name-Marr Haven Wool Farm has the name of the farm as the business name-Hooked on Felt tells the area of fiber interest this business concentrates on.   After you have choosen a name google it -you want a name that 6 other people don't have!!  This is especially important if you think you want to have a web site now or in the future and use the business name as the website name.  If someone else has that domain name you would need to choose another.  If you are going to have a blog, web page, sell online on etsy or another craft storefront it helps to have them all the name of your business.  People don't want to remember 4 different names for one person.                           This post I'll preview so it won't be discomfobulated (that's a word, right?) like the last one became.
