Hiya Hun,
Today I'm going to explain the meaning behind my brand name.
I'm Jamaican (Born & Raised) and a word we tend to use a lot is Tingz. It's kind of a throwaway word that you use when you don't know what something is called or means. Like "dat ting deh" means "that thing there". It is used to describe a lot of things and nothing necessarily.I feel that it is a very versatile word that we all understand what it means no matter the context of when it is being used. Which is what I love about it, its versatility and ability to fit in anywhere with or without context.
I felt that this was an appropriate word for my brand because it is a word that can be used to show my brands versatility while also being able to grow with my brand. Such as Exordium Tingz (introductory things) and then as I grow it can grow with me. Eventually in the future there will be Swim Tingz (swim collections), Furniture Tingz (a furniture collection), Denim Tingz, Sports Tingz, Heartbreaker Tingz, etc.
To clear up some confusion:
My brand is currently 'Tingz by Meme' because the username 'Tingz' was taken on IG and I wanted all of my pages to be cohesive. So even though my business license is 'Tingz' , all of my other outlets are 'Tingz by Meme' on IG, Twitter, Tiktok, Website, business cards, etc. By 2024, I plan to transition all of my pages and assets over to just 'Tingz' because I always wanted my brand to be its own entity and to not have anything (per say) to do with me. I don't want my brand to be big or small based on how people think or view me as a person, I want my brands success or failure to be because of its own success or failure. So while it is currently 'Tingz By Meme' it will soon just be 'Tingz'.
I hope my own trials and errors (currently expressed through blogs) can help you with your own brands or self identity journeys. Any questions, just ask!
Bye Babes!
