Need Help Naming New Face Painting Business.

Posted by Anonymous on 3/29/2010 at 3:44 AM ET 250 Points
Hi there,
I am having trouble naming a new face painting business.
It involves going into mainly clubs for events doing events over peoples eyes, sponsored painting etc.
I need a fun and quirky name for it.
I haven't really come up with much.
I think I want it to have face paint in the name or something.
Not 100% sure but need something to catch peoples attention!

    Hello, and welcome. We don't get a lot of requests for marketing help from face painters from Canada, so this will be fun.

    First, can you tell us who your primary target audience will be? Who are you trying to reach with your name and marketing? Where do they live? How will they find you? What is the main benefit you will be providing for them? (WHY do people hire face painters? What's in it for them?)

    Next, you need to think about your competition. Not just other face painters, but all the other folks who are trying to sell stuff to the same people you are, and who are competing for the same dollars in their budgets. See if you can explain why a decision maker would choose to allocate that money to YOU instead of the clown or magician or juggler who comes in with a pitch for the job.

    If you can help us understand the primary target audience, the business and your marketing plan, we can come up with a great name for your business.

    Are you focusing more on kids or adults?
    Are you painting face of "the public" or performers?
    Are you painting cartoon images or classic art?

    I had said in the question.
    But I will make it clearer.
    It involves going into NIGHTCLUBS and doing small pieces around peoples eyes.
    NOT the full face.
    Here is an example done by my friend in England.

    It will be at night club events.
    I need a one word name.
    It will be " ____ Face painting" or "Face Paint _____"

    Just to clarify
    By one word name I mean one word before or after Face Paint or Face Painting.
    Because then it will primarily be able to go by that.
    It needs to be catchy and fun.

    I have been looking over this site and for the nature of the site I've seen some pretty dumb responses so hopefully with the clarification and also spelling everything out above it helps people.

    How about "Glitz Face Painting" or instead of face painting how about "Face Art". Or if you just do around the eyes try "Eyes Face Art" or "Eyes Face Painting".

    "Strokes Face Painting"
    "Double Take Face Painting" I know it is two words but once people see it they will have a double take.
    "Shimmer Face Painting"

    So that's what I have got for now. Have fun!

    I think you need to expand your ideas a little, think out of the box! Not sure "Face Painting" in teh name is the best way to go!
    Might not be a popular suggestion, but it's my professional one!

    "Party Pop"
    "Night Owls"
    "Eye Candy"
    "Face Academy"
    "Eyes for You"
    "Cats Eyes"
    "Glitterbugs"
    "Funtastic"
    "Tiger Eyes"

    Good Luck

    How about
    Sinful - Nighclub Face Painting
    Or Lustful?

    Here's another one,
    Wonderlust

    Reason for my names being slightly suggestive is because of the environment your face painting business is in.
    Being nightclubs and all i feel it gives the option for something more suggestive as it's not facepainting for 8yr old's birthday party.
