Love the fact your saving your memories. I have done the same and when my kids read my journals once lol. My mom has all my stuff. I probably need a Memory Box too.

I love your "memory box" - I think it's awesome that you kept all of that stuff! I still have somethings from high school but I wish I kept some notes. It's really cool to go back to it and look through. I have memory boxes for my kids since they were born and I keep adding to them! Great video!

It's been a circus here for the past couple of days. I never, ever liked the name I chose (back in Nov) but nothing was available that gave me warm fuzzies. Quite the opposite really. Nothing like throwing this change at my favorite tech guru before coffee, right? She handled it well. LOL I've gone back thru my invoices & updated my accts, new dba, new email, new holding page for my web site. It's a good thing that I'm not planning on selling before May! : )

I love your company brand name, Memory Box Candle Co.....and seeing this video confirms it’s YOU! Also, the names of your products are also great and memorable (i.e., the candle I purchased named “Late Night Drive”). You are just adorable and so genuine and this shines though your videos....thus, partly why your viewers/subscribers enjoy listening to you and are cheering you on. Like you, I’m an introvert (ISTJ), homebody, and love to write. Have a beautiful weekend!

Aw Beth you are always SO sweet and kind! ❤️ Thank you so much for seeing the true meaning behind my brand, it’s so cool that I can talk about it and have people want to listen to me! Haha 😅 We have a lot in common then! (I’m an INFJ btw) I hope you have a beautiful weekend as well! ✨

I love your treasure chest.! I have a huge tote filled with all my High School and College memories, just like you, I kept everything! However mine is many decades older than yours, lol! I'll never regret keeping it all. I can pull it out and go through it with my kids and Grandkids. Funny, I think they love it more than I do. They have read some of my journals and old letters. Concert tickets from the late 70's and 80's. I really get Memory Box Candles!

Naming Candles next?! 🙂😊 I loved choosing my small business name (same as my KZfaq name) ... it was one of my favorite parts of the whole process. 😅...I want to incorporate handmade candles made by myself and just got my first order of scents! Smelling new scents is 100% one of my favorite things now! Haha The little joys of candle making! Might sound boring but will you consider doing a video on the taxes and reporting taxes side of business. This is the part I dread most. Yuck!

Hi Erica, thank you so much for all your informative videos - they are very helpful. I am thinking about starting a candle business and I have a brand name.

Love the names! Always been a journal person so I can remember things! I literally just cleaned out one of my old memory boxes.. I definitely feel like a hoarder but I can't get rid of some things 😂😂 I came up with my name but I've had people tell me I need to like patent it? I have no idea about any of that lol but have you done anything legally with your name?

Wow I feel like we have so much in common! ❤️ I definitely have not patented or trademarked my name, I don’t think it’s necessary right now. I just needed to make sure I could secure my social media name 😁 and check the domain too!

Hi Erica, how did you go about checking availability of names? Is there a specific business site to check? Also if you have a theme for your candles if they have something to check and see if someone else have it already?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 4 жыл бұрын

To be absolutely honest, I’m sure there’s a legal way to go about it, but I just did a bunch of google/Facebook/Instagram searches. I tried to see if I could find my brand name ANYWHERE, and I couldn’t, so I used it. I’m not sure if this is the proper way to go about it though! 😅

Is your business and LLC and if I go with an LLC do I have to put LLC as part of my labeling name.... or can I just have a small disclaimer that I am an LLC? (I really want it to just be XYZ Candle Co with the LLC being in the name.)
