Smart Product Naming Strategies to Elevate Your Apparel Brand

In this episode, Rachel is touching on the underestimated challenge of naming your apparel products—and why getting it wrong can cost you time, clarity, and customer trust. Drawing from her corporate experience (including a years-long product renaming project), Rachel shares how naming impacts everything from marketing to scalability, and why founders need to set up a thoughtful naming structure from day one.

You'll learn why descriptive names matter, how to avoid bottlenecking expanding your product line, and creative approaches (like using personal names or themes) to stand out while staying clear. Plus, Rachel offers practical advice for startup brands to build a naming system that grows with them—so you won't get stuck redoing your entire product catalog later.

In this episode, you'll hear:

- Why product naming is more complicated than it looks

- Lessons from a corporate renaming nightmare

- How naming affects marketing, product expansion, and customer understanding

- Tips to avoid common naming mistakes as a new apparel brand
