I'm having a bit of an identity crisis.
Greg's been doing some informal market research for me with random knitters he meets along his travels and the name "Blue Kitty Designs" isn't as popular as I would like. So I'm thinking about changing it. (I know! Me change anything? See the crisis?)
I should mention that I am terrible as naming things, poor Kelly didn't have a name for at least 18 hours after she was born. Our cat was named Kitty. All my random books that I write? No titles. It's mental block of some sort. I'm so jealous of all the genius yarn/knitting shop titles out there but the catch is since I don't actual sell yarn, I don't necessarily want "knit" in the name. Blue Kitty Designs came about because my favorite color is blue and I like cats. (Actually Blue Cat is taken, it's a web design company.)
The easiest would be to switch to Katie Fleck Designs. As I keep track of blogs and forum comments about my items, more than 75% of them refer to my shop as "katiefleck" anyways.
I kinda need to decide on this soon. When we move, I'll have to reform the business in Indiana (legal papers and so forth) and also start a new bank account (because Indiana isn't part of America. By which I mean Bank of America isn't in the Indianapolis area, go figure). I'm about to reorder my sew-in labels and I don't want 500 "Blue Kitty Designs" ones if the name isn't working for me. And I'm going to be a vendor at Stitches Midwest so I need to get my act together before I go that public.
What do you think? Poll time! If you select other, please leave a comment with the name you like. Help please!
