Naming tips
While you're thinking through names, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Think about who your audience is. How old are they? What times of day would they come to your coffee shop? What types of jobs do they have? For example, an older audience won't be attracted as much to a coffee shop named “Mocha Madness”.
- Consider the long-term. You may be tempted to focus on the short-term, but it’s worth thinking about your future goals. If you think you may ever want to sell your coffee shop, it can be harder to sell a business if your first or last name is part of the name. Or maybe at some point you’ll decide you want to grow into a chain of coffee shops, but the name is tied to a specific location. You can always change the name later, but you’ll spend valuable time and money doing that and potentially lose the brand recognition you’ve built.
- Make it memorable, but clear. A tried and true approach for a coffee shop name is to pair related words like “brew” and “latte” with some creative, unexpected ones. Like “Deja Brew” or “Latte Love”. The names clearly tell customers that you specialize in coffee, while still allowing you to stand out from others.
