Wedding Bells are Ringing...
I think I may have met The One last night…. It was love at first sound. We cuddled through the night and come morning I wanted it to stay.
We are not married yet, but I am definitely engaged. We’ll court through the weekend and shares vows of commitment at sundown on Sunday.
This morning I met the family and discovered a set of triplets to choose from, though I need only one name.
Here are my options, please cast your vote below – I really, really, really need your thoughts and welcome any comments!!
Golden ~ I’m in love with the family and prefix! Golden embodies a duality. It reflects the special occasions: weddings, anniversaries, and other events my clients are celebrating. Golden also represents the value of the volunteer actions and good deeds being contributed.
Golden Works ~ my initial love.
Pros: Easy to understand, simple, concise
Cons: Works can be associated with factories and utility companies (??)
Golden Turns ~ I like the originality of ‘Turns’ and again it has multiple meanings:
1. change of course or direction, as in changing lives
2. doing someone a good turn, as in a favour
3. opportunity, as in the once in a lifetime experience my trips offer
Cons: Can be hard to understand when speaking, easily confused with ‘terms’ or ‘tours’. Could lose word of mouth business.
Golden Hands ~ I like it, again it’s simple, easy, concise. Not really any cons to it, other than it feels a little cutesy to me… and I’m not really the cutesy type!
So go scroll to the bottom of this page and vote!! ...or if you have suggestions of other words to put after Golden, leave me a comment.
Otherwise the wedding ceremony will be at 6 o’clock on Sunday, all readers welcome to attend. Honeyteer to follow… :)
Just to recap, here is the business overview:
To be the premier online source of customized honeyteer and volunteer vacations allowing people to celebrate their special occasions by contributing to the improvement of people and communities in need around the world. Experiences blend volunteer service, cultural explorations, and traditional R&R to meet the customer’s preferences.

Hi Lynn
ReplyDeleteLove the business idea, so perfect for you and a fantastic niche market. Have you thought of something like EcoHoneymoons.com. Something simple that does what it says on the tin kinda thing :) Otherwise out of the above I would choose Golden Works. Love reading your journey, you are a wonderful writer. I'm hooked already, so keep it up girl! Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Lots love Zoex
You know when a friend introduces you to someone they are excited about? "He's PER-FECT" she squeals, "we're moving in together!" And all you can think is, "don't get rid of the moving boxes too quickly." But you'd never say it out loud because she lovvvvves him. And how could you break her heart?
ReplyDeleteI hate to share my initial thought, but you're asking.
I see "Golden" and I think "the golden years" aka for the older folks.
Hi Lynn-It's me. Kimberly. My suggestion would be to use "Travelynn". It's catching to me and it encompasses travel with your name. I would continue to use your slogan "volunteer vacations for special occasions". And I would market all of the Golden names as packages for your clients to choose from. What to do you think??
ReplyDeleteI love what you are creating. You are using your passion and following what is in your heart!
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect for you! Well done going for it.
Golden is lovely - but I kind of had the same thought as Amy. Golden Hands makes me think of Golden Handshake - of the 3 I like Golden Works the best. If not Golden, I wondered if something around 'jewel' would work?

I like golden hands.... I like the word HANDS, cause it means a resource we all have and can use for good things or lazy things...
