Someone apparently already has my name as their username on Etsy because apparently...they have the same name. (I'm trying to find the humor here and find myself humming "John Jacob Jinglehimmer Schmidt, His name is my name too!" Do you know it? Hum along...) So although there is no Etsy shop called Genevieve Williamson, I can't use it as a shop name either.
So for now the best solution seems to be to leave well enough alone, continue with Jibby and Juna on Etsy and just link from my new website. So my business name will be Genevieve Williamson, and Jibby and Juna will just be my Etsy shop. Does that make sense? Sometime in the next couple weeks/month I'll be switching over to my new blog - you can head over there now and click to follow if you'd like.
arrrgh.......
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating when you have decided to change. But I do love the name jibby and juna....
Yes, well I should have done more thorough homework first. I didn't realize that even if a buyer is just using a username on Etsy that disqualifies it as a SHOP name.
DeleteI wanted to be cohesive but I think this is going to work OK. I am going to use my real name more prominently and build my website to be a "hub" from which I will link to the Etsy shop.
Oh, that's pretty frustrating, especially when your name isn't that widespread ... but I like Jibby and Juna as well, and think it works nicely with your own name.
ReplyDeleteNew follower (although will find your new blog too!) and I've linked to a tutorial you posted on my blog - http://silvermoss.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-jewelled-web-january-2013.html
Hope that's okay :)
Thanks so much!
DeleteI like the Jibby and Juna name. I just find it more memorable. Have you thought about working them together? Jibby and Juna by Genevieve Williamson?
ReplyDeleteOops, I guess you have. That's what I get for not paying attention to your header graphic.
ReplyDeleteThats OK! Yes, I wasn't entirely by choice - because I tend to want things to be very simple - but I've talked to a friend who works in PR and I think it will work out fine.
