Naming your handmade business is not an easy task - and for some reason, it feels like if you pick the wrong name, you can’t possibly be successful.
Of course, that’s not entirely true but it is one of those important decisions you have to make early on and it can feel like an impossible task at times, and it certainly can make you want to pull your hair out. So let’s not do that and dive into this 3 steps, 5 categories, 7 filters method instead.

I was on a live sale from a podcaster, where I left a comment and question. Hallelujah! They pronounced my awful name PERFECTLY and recognized my work. Sometimes the weird names work? And if I pivot, it travels with the pivot.

@flyingsquirrel5213 3 года назад

I just discovered your channel while thinking about this topic for a handmade jewelry shop. This seems like kind of like a chicken-or-the egg type of thing. However, while watching this, I recalled passing a pub while visiting Edinburgh, Scotland called The Jolly Botanist - nothing about the name directly suggests pub, but if you walk past it (as we did) or look it up, you see what it is....and remember it. Thanks for this!

@Tizzitco 3 года назад

Haha that's definitely a memorable name for a pub! I'd be curious to know the story behind that one! - L

@lenanana8 2 года назад

I've passed by that pub when I was in Edinburgh as well! It caught my attention right away.

I love the content, so thanks so much for this video; it clarifies so much in a concise manner. By the way, Google does actually mean something in the mathematical\algorithmic realm, which is why they chose it. (This is something learned in IT. 🙂)

@reneedimera5061 9 месяцев назад

Yes I name my very small business Renee's Crochet Boutique. I was wondering what you think of my business name.

@yolandapedraza115 3 года назад

When I first started, I was selling crochet and beaded bracelets, so I named my shop Yarning Over Beads. Now, though, I've taken all the beaded items out since they didn't sell and have only kept the crocheted items up. I'm thinking about taking those down too though (even though those do quite well), since they take 12 hours to make and replacing them with laser engraved items that take at most half and hour. I don't know whether or not I should change my name because if I'm only selling wood and leather items from now on, having yarn or beads in my name is not going to make sense at all, but it's the name I've used for years and I just don't know what to do

@Masaomi84 3 года назад

This was something that I was definitely using as an excuse to procrastinate. 😅 I've heard that in the long run, it's important for business owners to diversify. Is this possible (or even preferable) to do under the same business name? I'm no where near having to worry about this, but I was just curious. Thank you for all the handmade business tips!

@Tizzitco 3 года назад

I think it really depends on more on whether it then makes sense to sell all your products/services under one business (regardless of the name) but the name being detached from "what you sell" (example" Masaomi BAGS" or "SOAPS" or etc.) does help if you want to pivot :-)

@Masaomi84 3 года назад

@@Tizzitco Thank you for the detailed answer and satisfying my curiosity. I'll be able to approach that with a little more confidence when I get there! 😊

@lenanana8 2 года назад

Thank-you so much, this is so helpful! I'm struggling with my shop name but your tips have helped me narrow it down significantly. May I ask what your advise is for naming a shop that wants to appeal to customers who speak different languages / multi-lingual (in my case, English and Spanish primarily)? Should I go for an invented name that can be easily pronounced in multiple languages or prioritize one language for an evokative name? This is for a handmade business inspired by sci-fi and fantasy worlds in books.

@Tizzitco 2 года назад

If you haven't done so yet already, I would encourage you to come up with your Ideal Customer profile + base this decision on what makes most sense for them. Here is a blog post on how to define your IC 👉 www.tizzit.co/define-your-ideal-customer-profile/ 🙂 hope this helps! - L

@TheCityGirl62 2 года назад

How do you check that you’re shop name isn’t being used on Etsy and platforms and would you get a domain name right away? Thank you!

@Tizzitco 2 года назад

Good question! The only way to check that would be manually trying it and seeing if the domain/handle is available. It can be a bit tedious for some people, but unfortunately, there's currently no alternative that checks across multiple/all platforms. - L

@LaserAndLearn 3 года назад

So I love my business name (Thor Designs), but unfortunately, it is not unique enough that to come up when typed into Google. Can I add something small to it or a word so I can still keep my name I love?

I guess it depends what that extra word would be :-)
