hometowncandles Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ok, when I first started making bath and body, I really didn't search very well to see if the name I choose already was out there. I have known for some time that there is a well established business with the same name as me, just spelled a little differently. I have been contemplating changing it, but couldn't think of anything catchy that I liked that wasn't already being used in some form, or I would have changed it before now. Most people identify my bath and body with my candle line, not so much by the name, so I don't think this would cause any customer confusion. Is it a wise or stupid decision to change after approx 2 1/2 years. I've done a thorough search and can't find anyone using my newly chosen name anywhere on the web, and I've also done a search on my Sec of State site for name availability. Someone is currently using the name I have chosen for a website, but it has nothing to do with bath and body or candles. I am currently calling my bath and body line The Body Shoppe, but would like to change to Graceful Girl Bath & Body. My family nick name is Grace, because I have no balance, coordination, or grace. It's kind of a running joke on me, but I don't mind, it's all in good fun. I don't know why I didn't think to use it sooner. I think it's kinda catchy, what do you all think? And do you know of anybody already using it?TIAJennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I did the name change thing a few years ago and business was not effect that much from it. I gave my customer plenty of warning and I still have a note up on my web site about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CibariaSoapSupply Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 That's such a cute name for a business - and especially why it's named that. It's a good conversation starter for networking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I don't know why I didn't think of it to start with, I've been called Grace practically my whole life. It should've been my real name.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
