Rebranding From Jackalopekid

I have been contemplating the move from the online branding of jackalopekid to something else for a while now.

I needed a name to go with what I write about on my blog. Something that made more sense.

As you already know with branding, your name needs to tie into everything else. I was breaking an online golden rule.

 

I was also tired of answering the question of, “What does jackalopekid mean?”

I had built everything on that name and I didn’t want to change it.

But, I do think that making this change now is important, because sometimes change is good.

So, now everything on the internets has been changed to asmithblog.

What do you think of the change?

    I wonder if selling jackalopekid stuff on eBay will net big profits.

    Congrats on the change! Here is to many more years of opening people’s hearts and minds.

    I believe it’s a good idea to change to your own name.  I was one of those thousands who couldn’t figure out what jackalopekid meant.
