Starting a Fashion Story Boutique: Creating a Catching Boutique Name, Part 1

One of the first things you can do when you get Fashion Story is choose what your boutique name is. This may seem unimportant but it is actually one of the most impactive decisions you can make when playing this wonderful game. As I mentioned in my post "Fashion Story Neighbor Management Part 2: Making New Neighbors" your name is the first thing a potential neighbor will see. This is only one reason, but I think it is the biggest one. 


As you can see all the names above are names of my neighbor's Boutique's. Any of them pop out at you? If a couple of them caught your eye, did which ones? Now think about what you would do if you saw that name in the community. 

You would most likely visit their boutique, like their clothes and leave a message on their profile wall. 
If this is what you would do then their name worked which makes it a win-win circumstance for both of you.  

Another thing that a boutique name can impact is your overall theme. How? Well, lets imagine that I have a boutique named 'Ocean Dreams'. What kind of decor would you expect to find? Maybe some sand colored tiles, palm tree and sea shell wall hangings, changing rooms and seats. 

What if you found the exact opposite? Would you be at least be a little surprised? The name 'Ocean Dreams' sounds like it represents a relaxing beach-like boutique. You should be able to match a name to a boutique even if you have never seen it before. Of course if it is under renovations there would be no real way to know if it matched a name or not. 

Since you haft to choose your name at the beginning of the game, when you don't have much stuff unlocked, I suggest you look for the items you want and work towards unlocking them while running your boutique with the basic stuff. Though the decor doesn't really add to your clothes value, it is what, along with your name, makes your boutique, your boutique. 

If one of my neighbor's Boutique's names jumped out at you or you have questions please comment, I value your opinions! ~ Sky's Limit
