prairieannie Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I am posting this in the business section because I wanted a bigger variety of folks to see this... I don't mind sharing it cause well..it's cool cause it worked I needed to rename Love Spell...mostly because I can not stand puting "type" behind the names of my fragrances. I rename all of them. Sooo...My new "love spell" name is BLUE VOO DOO I dyed the lotion blue, I dyed the soaps blue..and let me tell you..I sold out of every single Blue Voo Doo item I had at the show. Young girls loved it..even guys loved it..hell, even grandmas loved it! And more than one person bought it partly because they loved the name I forget to post about this in my show report, but I'm glad I remembered now..in case anyone is needing an idea or two..this one worked wonders for me!

Meridith Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 That is awesome. I am absolutely horrible at coming up with names but I too don't like using the word "type." Coming up with names is one of my biggest challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I don't have LoveSpell but love the name Blue Voo Doo. Very creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 That is a really cool/unisex name. I could never have thought of it, I suck at renaming. One question, I'm curious as to whether people are on the hunt specifically for "types" of their favorites or if they even know what a "type" is when they see it and it bites them on the butt. Me personally, before I ever started candles, I never would have guessed what a "type" anything was, but I'm slow that way. Do people even bother to ask if you carry a certain scent that "smells like" something they are interested in? Since I've never sold, I have no idea about these things.

prairieannie Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 I think you will find a mixture of both "types" of people out there (stupid pun totally intended) I believe there are some folks who will know what they are looking for, and ask everyone who makes scented items if they have it lol, and then the people like last weekend at my show who bought because the name was cool...or because they loved the scent. You will run into both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thats cool sharon....I love the name.I use to rename love spell too. But now I get people who buy it just for the VS name. As soon as they see the Victoria's Secret they jump right to it and buy me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks for letting us know. I like Lovespell, but have yet to sell a single product in that scent. I think renaming it might really help, but just wasn't motivated enough to do it yet (I'm horrible at thinking of new names for FOs).

daniedb Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I do the same thing - I rename any designer fragrances. I've thought about calling it "Love Potion" or "Love Potion No. 9" but I dunno. I like your name, but now you're going to see it everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I think the name rocks!! I would definately use it for another scent but I am stuck on it being a purple scent though. I know! I know! but color and scent matching is a big thing for me. I don't think I could color Lovespell blue. If you think about it blue is not a common color for food. Lovespell is fruity and floral. The only blue fruit is a blueberry (not a note I detect). There are not many blue flowers. It just doesn't jive with me! Glad it is workin for you though! !

Bev Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I am a "type" girl myself, simply because I'm no good at name changes. I really like Blue Voo Doo! Wish I had your creative mind!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandelion garden Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 ...and I call it "Pixie Dust"When people mention that it reminds them of Love Spell I tell them, "That's what I was going for. ;)"I explain that some people are loyal to their scents & that this is my version of it. I rename all my designer/type scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
