Some Basic Concepts About Your Leather Jackets
Are you looking for a name for your clothing store? In this
post I am going to teach you how to create names for clothing stores through 9
methods that I use on a daily basis with my clients
I will also teach you
some key concepts about clothing store names. If you stay until the end you

Why is the name of your store so important?
How to generate original name ideas for clothing stores.
How to evaluate your names and keep the best.
How to avoid legal problems.
I confess that I really wanted to write this post. You know
why?
The subject of
clothing stores touche me very closely.
My parents have had a
small women's clothing store since 1963 ... (long before I was born, in case
you're wondering!).
And there it
continues.
When I was leaving
school as a child, I would go to the store and sit on the stairs reading books.
Or I would stand behind the counter (where I was hardly seen. He was a bit shy,
hehe).
So since I was little
I know what it is to have a clothing store. And that makes me want to help you
more!
The name of my
clothing store ... isn't anyone worth it?
You know that there are many reasons why a store can succeed
or fail (and nothing hurts me more than a store that has to close).
I am not going to
sell you smoke and say that the name is the only one.
But choosing a good the name you have the opportunity to stand out among the other clothing stores
(which is not a small thing, it is a hyper-competitive market).
Not only that, you
can start from the beginning to evoke in your client's mind the idea of your store: your values, your origins, your "style".
don't you think it's different to be called Ekseption, Colette, Ailanto or Pull
& Bear? Isn't it that they transmit very different things?
A good name is the first step in creating a good brand. And
good brands connect with customers and, as a result, sell more. Because of they
distinguish you, make it easier to be remembered, enhance the strategy and
values of your store, allow you to find
your store on the internet, if they are catchy they allow your advertising
campaigns to be more profitable, etc.
And another reason
why it's important to think carefully about the name of your clothing store:
avoid legal problems.
If you choose any
name at random and without checking availability as a brand, you can have a lot
of unpleasant surprises. To the point of having to stop operating with your
name and close your clothing store.
And we don't want
that, do we?

Creating names for your clothing store: first steps
First of all, let's review some basic concepts about your
store.
What kind of clothes
am I going to sell? (Good brands always have a very clear product)
What is my ideal audience? (It helps a lot to imagine your
ideal buyer: age, sex, tastes, preferences, etc.)
Where will my store be? Will I have one or more? (A store in
Stockholm is not the same as in Barcelona or Mexico City, to understand us. Nor
is a very local store a franchise or large chain)
Who are my competitors? (You must make sure that your name
stands out among those of your competitors)
How would I like my clothing store to be perceived by my
customers? (It is not the same to be cool as elegant, then modern, then vintage
... classic, avant-garde, fresh, partying, monochrome, serious, luxurious,
extravagant, etc.)
How would you explain your store concept in 20 seconds or
less? (It is what is called your "elevator speech". If you are able
to do it in 20 seconds, it is that you have everything super clear)
Because it is not a matter of randomly choosing any name,
but of having a name that "feels good" and that enhances the
values of our clothing store.
Remember: a name
should not be jacketsly.com reviews, but rather that magic the garment you have in the closet, with which you feel comfortable and that
everyone tells you looks great on you.
A word of warning: in this Post, I have mainly chosen
examples of multi-brand clothing stores, along with some examples of my own
brand. But you may also be interested in the specific post on names for
clothing brands and even the post on names for online stores.
