Dolphin146 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I am so at a loss as to what to name my new candle business. I will be selling wax melts, tealights, votives, emergency candles and firestarters to start. I was thinking someone could give me some ideas on what to call it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyBee Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Naming your brand should depends on your targeted market. Some name will fit well in certain markets and some will not. People will need to hear about more of your operation in order to suggest any names. Most general common way to name a business would be using your name. Abbreviations can be used also, and there are also territorial names like Gold Canyon Candle (AZ) or Chesapeake Bay Candle. Territorial names should work well in candle industry. Bisbee, Jerome, Sedona, Flagstaff & Tucson are well known artist towns, and handmade candle should go well with those kind of city names. Using one of those city names like Grand Canyon, Paradise Valley or Tombstone sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Do you live near any landmarks like a river, creek, mountain, valley, stream, monument, national park, forest, woods? Is your area famous for anything. For example my town is famous for restaurants, skyline drive, shenandoah forest, shenandoah river, national civil war battlefields, canoeing, fall leaves splendor. etc. A good example is we have a small creek in town called Happy Creek. So a candle company could be called Happy Creek Candles or Happy Creek Candles and Melts. Are you going to call your wax melts wax melts or something different or unique? You can use that uniqueness in the name. Or perhaps you have a theme say the 70's or colonial days, gay nineties, roaring twenties. Time period themes make a unique business stand out and create a focus for scent types and names to use. Or a design or logo idea like a butterfly, unicorn, or dragonfly? Are you going gothic, mythical, grubby, modern, classic, etc? Maybe you would like a nature scent theme, or hippie era or tropical paradise theme? You really have not given us any ideas to go on. Have you got any ideas what kind of business you want? do you have a theme? a color scheme, or design you want incorporated into your business?
