    URBAN TRADE
    URBAN TRADER

    (as in Urban Rag Trader - a common slang for the clothes making industry).

    My thoughts: Define your target audience more precisely. Better to do a great job with a narrow target audience than a mediocre job with a large one. (It will allow you to communicate a more relevant message and it will cost less too.)

    Find out what words your target audience uses when they talk about how they decide where/when to buy the kind of clothing you expect to sell. Get to really know how your target audience thinks, how they make decisions, their values, beliefs, attitudes, habits and practices. This will ensure that whatever name you pick will resonate with them.

    How will your target audience find you? How will they learn you exist? Is your store going to be a bricks-and-mortar store or online (or both)?

    let me try again...
    target audience: college aged girls-middle aged women wanting a fun, unique way to show their team spirit. middle-upper class.
    example price point $28-$32 for a appliquéd scarf
    t-shirts range from $34-$48 depending on long-sleeve, short-sleeve and what's on them- appliqué, hand-sewn sequins or screen print.
    also, a lot of the shirts we use are a little grunge, like a burnout faded color, really like the vintage, urban feel
    some key words: spirit, fan, threads, retro, team, pride, mod, crew, gang, squad, score ,pep, vintage, urban, just about anything sports related...
    so far all universities we're set-up to sell are southern states
    will start with online store with some craft shows on the side.
    thanks!!

    Thanks for all the great ideas, still pondering... so keep them coming!

    @PhilGrisolia4Results,
    "What does your market research tell you?"
    Phil, it tells me you really have no useful info. concerning this issue, sorry...

    "College age girls and middle aged women have virtually nothing in common regardless of the teams they support" okay...so how do you suggest they show team support, they just don't once they get past a certain age???

    "Their taste in clothes - colors, sizes, fit , etc. - are totally different." sure, this can be true BUT....
    You see, Phil, this is not going to be a store with one universal shirt for them to choose from-we will have many types of styles, colors and sizes! Actually, hold on to your pants but I've been in collegiate stores that have baby clothing too! gasp! I mean what does a baby have in common with a middle-aged woman?..maybe, team spirit!?

    I'm in Europe, so if these sound a little limp, that's just how we are.

    "Urban Snatch"
    "Color Snatch"
    "Faded Scene"
    "Grab Team"
    "Faded Haus" (misspelling intended).
    "Actually, it's just slightly faded" (only joking!).


    Tag -
    "Grab yourself some vintage"

    Getting anywhere? Let us know. M xx

    BTW I liked your sassy come-backs, that is great: it gives us a boost to know someone's listening and not just whining.

    So of all the names I have seen here Fan Threads seems the best to me. and the good news is SHOPFANTHREADS.COM is available if you hurry.

    I would not use any name with urban in it as it is limited and not what you are targeting. Play with the Fan Threads idea and generate some variations on the words Fan and Threads (clothing). You can use the thesaurus to help you.
