What Defines Your Boutique: Location and Brand

If you have a passion for fashion and a license for business, then you are ready, set, go to open your very own clothing boutique! Besides being completely chic, boutiques are wonderful businesses for small towns where the ladies can get together, shop and spread a little gossip!

The two most important things to consider are location and brand. You'll want to be able to maximize profits and stay in business indefinitely, so these two things are essential.

Location

When it comes to location, you want to keep two things in mind: The style of clothing you will be selling and where you'll find those who appreciate that style. You'll want to be in an area where shoppers come to spend so your clothes will sell quickly.

Brand

Once you've found the right location, the next task is to get shoppers to walk in your door, and you'll want to start building your brand.

Since the latter part of the 20th century, marketers have known that a name can represent much more than just a name, something David Ogilvy described as “the intangible sum of a product’s attributes.” Savvy businesspeople know that the name they choose creates a specific perception in customers’ minds about the qualities and attributes of their product, and this perception is also known as their “brand.”

What to Think About When Brainstorming Name Ideas

1. Use Your Name

Yes, your real name. You own this store, and I’m sure you are proud of it, so let the world know who is boss! If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your name in lights, that might have meant on the front of your boutique! Of course, above and beyond dreams of fame and fortune, there are many other reasons for using your name, including the fact that giving your store a name personalizes the shopping experience, gives customers a sense of your pride of ownership, and conveys the idea that the items they find in your store are personal, unique, and individually selected.

2. Use Fashion Terms

Using words that are related to fashion and the type of clothes you sell helps customers get an idea of what kinds of things they'll find if they walk in your store. For instance:

A cute jewelry store name could be something like "The Bracelet Boutique" or "The Sparkle Shop."

A girly shoe store name might utilize shoe terms in its name, like "Hot Heels" or "Sole Mates."

3. Incorporate Your Location

If you already have your location rented or purchased, use it in the name. Not only will this help customers and potential customers to remember where you are, but a name like this says you are here to stay. For example, if you are on 5th Avenue, you could simply name it “5th Avenue Boutique.”

4. Consider Your Audience

If you are trying to gear your boutique toward a certain crowd or age group, a name can certainly do this. Certain words feel younger, hipper, or cooler than others and might not appeal to a more mature or well-heeled shopper, so keep this in mind when you're choosing your name.

Be creative, and have fun with it!

Get Name Ideas From Family and Friends

Although the names above are terrific boutique names, it is okay if you need additional help coming up with names.

Try looking to others for help such as family and friends. We all know that the opinion of others can be invaluable, especially when it comes to asking those who may be shopping at your boutique!

Have a Naming Party

Throwing a naming party is a good way to have fun while finding a name for your boutique. You could even have a little fashion show to preview some of the styles you’ll be selling, just to give everyone a little inspiration. Throw in some wine and good food and you have yourself a recipe for names galore!

Not the party animal type? Look to the Internet community for ideas. How about posting a question on a website such as Yahoo! Answers or Facebook, or even creating a survey on Surveymonkey.com? You are sure to get a wide variety of ideas going this route.

With your creativity and sixth sense for fashion, you are bound to come up with something perfect, something that suits you just like your boutique will suit your customers. Until then, passez une bonne journée! (Have a good day!)
