Time for another round of Name My Business!

[Red State Rebel]

In my spare time (hahaha!) I have occasionally done some sewing for people. Not regular garment sewing but costume/dance/figure skating things. Hand beading, rhinestones, you know, fun stuff.

I have decided to pursue this side business more and as such, need a name to stick on a business card to hand out.

I was thinking of something more elegant than cute and I would love some suggestions from this group.


This is a picture of a figure skating costume I just replicated for a local performer..

15. well take best performance and move it around a bit or use it alone

[punpirate]

10. Think of the reasons why you've chosen to do this sort of work...

... apart from the fact that you're good at it. You might find a name in your reasons for liking the work.

Or, is there something distinctive about the finished product because of the way you produce it?

Think along those lines and you might come up with something memorable.

Cheers.

12. Patina

[soothsayer]

13. Sew Elegant (n/t)

[2Design]

16. you want to focus on what the customers goal is......which IMHO is

their BEST PERFORMANCE.....add to that or go with just that
maybe

best performance costumes
best performance outfits
outfitting the best performers
looking best performances
star performance outfit
costumes for the athlete
creative performance costumes
creative performance outfits.


is there another name for their outfit? use that?

[Red State Rebel]

17. Excellent - I like that one too.

Best Performance Costuming - "Competitive Costuming for the Serious Competitor"

[2Design]

19. Good now go to office max and buy the 1000 cards for $17

most people go overboard on business cards...
office max has some standard cards....about 4 or 5 patterns....pick the one where you get the most words if you want....of just pick on...
they are raised letters...in one color ...red, blue, black, or maroon.

you get to pick one logo.....

and if a couple of months you decide on something different you haven't invested a fortune...
when your cards are costing you less than 2 cents a piece....you will have no trouble giving them out to everyone...putting them in athletic stores....etc....

____________
ask them for the standard cards...they are at the back of the book...don't go overboard on fancy cards....you want to be willing to give them to anyone and everyone.....and the less expensive they are the less hesitation you will have giving them away....

[NMDemDist2]

22. may I suggest-"Custom Costuming for the Serious Competitor"

don't use the same word twice

re biz cards, I just print my own on good cardstock That way i got to create my own logo

[2Design]

23. name too long if you want to eventually have a website people will

remember....
printing your own cards is great but more expensive than .02 cents each. and the ink can run and the letters aren't raised

[NMDemDist2]

21. Star Performance Custom Tailoring

that's a great one 28erl
