Naming help

Appreciate the words JJ but have already been doing this a while and it's more just downsizing the operation. Completely agree with the locality thing and one of my products is actually just Surrey Honey. Theres a bee product supplier that does all the labelling for the producer (well, the owner of the bees, not the bees themselves lol) which are used pretty much universally in terms of design and naming.
This is for a whole range of different products, not just the one so needs to be more general. I can take care of the locality thing in the website etc

 

I think that you could make use of the two situations.

pickle and jam co uk is practical and should pick up the web searches but, once on the site, why not use the name 'Worth Preserving'?

Pickles and jams from the 'Worth Preserving Company'.

I know you already have your own company name but you can use a catchy name as well.

 

Yikes, now it's being overthought! Light, hobbyist, catchy while doing what it says n the tin. Not concerned with SEO or rankings and the tagline will be something like 'exclusively local small batch preserves'.
Leaning more and more the pickle and jam [Co.!] but do appreciate all the discussion - it's helping

 

You certainly did Val. If I end up using it, I'll make sure you get the credit lol

 

DOH!

 

So I've been back and forth over this and it's down to two. No three. No two. Or 4. Anyway, here's the 2 (that might change to 6) and the 'imagineering' behind the naming

Pickle & Jam - two characters called Pickle and Jam that can present a lighter side of selling stuff. Pro as it's simple and will pick up some web search traffic. Con, bit limited in scope.

Good life & Jam - Still playful and contains the word Jam, seemingly a pre-requisite in my thinking [note: must see doctor]. Pro as it's broader in play and not restricting to simply preserves. Might very extend it to having a good life (gardening tips, wine making etc) but keep the retail side to the preserves. Con, it's a bit ambiguous in title and lengthy.

Isn't it lucky I'm so decisive over this! Just to reiterate that although it's mentioned, I'm not bothered about rankings , SEO or the fuzzy logic of interwebby searches.

 

I should also note that whenever I do a web project, I project thoughts of what the site could become should I put the efforts in to it. I have never, ever maintained interest consistently enough to attain the lofty heights of said ambitions. It's just something I do and generally hampers things!

 

Ahhh, you're thinking living the good life - yachts and money? Whereas I was thinking good life as in The Good Life and having a healthy and good life. Even if you weren't it does raise questions
