why?
when I look at Etsy shops that sell board game jewelry and stuff, most of them have cute names but they don't reflect what they sell (other than JunqueJules)
https://www.etsy.com/market/board_game_jewelry
I hang with a lot of MCM / MCM kitsh sellers on FB. Their shop names tend to reflect them, not what they sell.
Because I want my name to reflect what I sell. I'd like the focus to be on my customers and what attracts them, not on me. If they are attracted to knowing what I sell, they'll get attracted to me when they see my items and how quickly they get their purchases. I can talk about myself in my profile, but I first need to get my foot in their door, which means creating a name that let's people know what I sell. What I sell is fashion jewelry, keychains and magnets made from various Game Pieces, Tiles, Chips etc.
If I were looking for a store that sold this stuff, I wouldn't seek out a store called "Chai's 'Lil Shoppe of Sunshine"
This is more like a hobby, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. every day.
However, every single step I take is geared toward letting people know what I sell, and the good customer service I give. That's why whenever I ship out a piece, I include a card asking for a positive review if they liked my product and service, and to please let anyone who compliments them know where they got it (and include my store site name)
Almost everyone who buys give me a review, all good.
Funny, when people get fast good service, somehow they feel they know all about the person.
I like my customers.
What's MCM? I googled it and nothing seemed to fit well.
