    DIY Candle Supply will get a lot of search engine traffic, in my opinion. That’s a really good name to reach people searching for candle supplies. I think that’s a smart change, especially so early in your business too.

    I love the new name so much more! It rolls so much better and is so much more tied to you with your massive FB group! Nice work

    Hey Jeff, Great video, thank you. I changed my company name about a year go. It was a positive move for my business. Your' DIY Candle Supplies' is a strong company name, good move. 👍

    its not too late because a lot of your customers follow you on social media - and I love the DIY idea

    It also sounds really good. DIY candle supply rhymes and is easy to remember 😊

    I love this insight. I changed my name a few years ago. I felt the old name was juvenile and pigeonholed me into one particular type of product. I did a lot of emails and posts and reminders before and after. I don’t think it caused to much of an issue but like you said, I was so small enough to not worry about too much.

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  Před 9 měsíci +1

      That's the big one that people need to remember. You're small enough for a while that it wont effect you much at all. :)

    DIY Candle Supply works, easy to remember being a senior large names are hard to remember sometimes, you go!

    Branding is so important. I think many people really don’t realize the importance. Also people really like the story behind why you got that name.

    I changed my business name 6 times! It happens... I just didn't like the name after a while. My clients didn't stop looking for me. Especially the ones that are loyal to you & your company. The Wooden Wick changed their name to Makesy. So it happens.

    I like that DIY Candle Supply. You should Trademark that asap. Im sure you know but for those who don’t domain registration doesn’t offer the level of protection of a trademark.

    I just changed my business name from …Candle Co to Handcrafted for just that reason. After a major surgery I have been focused on jewelry making much more than candle making and needed a more inclusive biz name.

    I love the DIY name for you 😊it’s a better name .

    Makes sense!

    I didn't have a name to change. But when I was thinking about it, I decided I would choose a name that reflected, at the time something that had to do with the state I was living in.

    I was pondering about changing my company name too.🤔

    I bought some candle centering from you maybe did not get the order right by my own fault but you just blew me off as far as making the order right

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  Před 9 měsíci

      If the order is wrong I will replace her.
      We always do.
      Email me again, I get a hundred a day and it may have been pushed down by accident.

    • @StandleyHandcrafted
      @StandleyHandcrafted  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Found your email and I am sending the other set to see what you think.
      No intention of “blowing you off” lol
      I would have just emailed again since we get so many. The new ones should be there in a couple of days.

  • @asmaakram998
    @asmaakram998 Před 8 měsíci

    I'm not sure but you can talk to a developer about this issue
    I think they can divert your traffic from old name to new one directly, so you,ll not lose any of your customers in anyway
    Thanku

    You dropped a jewel that most may have missed, Domain names, I own mine and several others like mine, wise business move.

    @rickcard71 Před 9 měsíci

    Honestly, all of these names are too confusing. I think you need to keep it simple.
