Four steps to naming your textile business

This four-step process will help you name your textile business. In this example, I am creating a textile business name that illustrates quality as well as creativity. Here’s each step I took in crafting these business names.

#1) Brainstorm your name ideas

Brainstorming on the words to use to qualify your business is quite essential because this is the first representative of your business. I used words like stitches and cotton which are important factors also indicating the texture and the manufacturing process of a textile company. Your goal here is to create a list of words or names that come to mind when thinking about your business.

#2) Shortlist your ideas

Once you’ve developed a list of possible names, do an analysis of your ideas. Remove any names that could be hard to remember, spell or speak aloud. Keep names that are brandable, sound great, are memorable, and communicate your brand values, product, or service to your target audience.

Here’s a quick checklist you can run your ideas through to help shorten your list of names:

Is the name simple and easy to remember?
Is the name easy to read and say aloud?
Is the name different from competitors?
Does the name convey a relevant meaning?
Does the name avoid overused words or cliches?

My Shortlist:

Wholesale Threads
Fine Weaves
Family Fabrics

#3) Get some feedback

You’ll now have a list of 3-6 great textile business names and you can start to ask potential customers or people working in the industry for feedback (your target audience). Avoid feedback from family and friends, are more likely to praise all your ideas and they aren’t your customer.

Be sure to ask questions like:

What first comes to mind when you first hear the name?
How would you spell it?

With your customer feedback, you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?

My customer feedback:

Wholesale Threads

This indicates a company dealing in wholesale production using threads.

Fine Weaves

Finely weaved apparels are an alluring sight to fashion lovers.

Family Fabrics

This name conveys the idea of family-made apparel or one suited to families.

Magic Material

This is a name that conveys a fun store that provides elegant textiles.

#4) Check It’s available

At this point, it’s good to have at least three great textile business names on your list, in case any of your names are already taken. You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if your name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.

Competitor Name Analysis

To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful textile businesses and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.

Admiral Sportswear, admiral, qualifies strength and quality which are vital traits for a textile company producing sportswear, the name talks about top-notch quality without using the exact words.

Bruno Banani, is a name that is rhythmic as well as catchy, and it is also the owner’s name that allows people to relate to it and have a personal reaction to their products.

World Linen & Textile Company, is a name that appeals to customers who value exotic or high-quality textiles. It gives the impression that this company sources exclusive linens from across the globe.

5 Tips for naming your textile business

The ideal business name should be simple, memorable, and convey a meaning all at the same time. Here are my 5 tips to keep in mind when developing your business names.

1. Do a Competitor Analysis

Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitor’s business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:

What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?

2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.

A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused textile terms like Fabric, Linen, and stylish. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try to name your business in a way that has a story behind it.

Let’s take for example a real textile business named “Airness”.

Literally, this gives off the impression of fine quality and stylish demure without using the common words.

3. How to make a more memorable name

Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customer’s mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give extra thought to your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:

Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Textile Traders, Traditional Textiles)
Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (Ace Textiles, an ace is a word used mostly in card games, but here it is used to mean top quality and standard product)
Keep it short and simple.

4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name

Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy, and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable textile business names could be:

Lullington
Duveteux
SpurnSuite

You can find a full list of Brandable business names at Domainify.com

5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.

Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. For example, changing Textile Traders to TexTra is very tacky and unproductive.

You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable, or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
