My Darling Jams I was thinking of naming it after a person because it would easily translate into a marketing campaign. I looked at your name, but then the my darling part of your post jumped out at me. I’m not an ad guy; so this is just my observation. It appears that most food items are marketed with love, family, and home in mind. To me, your use of my darling really hit a nerve along those lines. ---

How 'bout “Splendid Spreads.” Might be more of a tongue twister than a company name though. ---

**Lyllyan** , the thing about a great name or a great hook-name is that it usually connects somehow to the buyer. Is there something about your town or area that lends itself to a clever pun or name? I have to admit, I suffer the identical compulsions. Aside from the last two summers when I’ve been working during peach season, I tend to do roughly 75 pounds of peaches, and put up a gazillion jars of Spiced Peach Jamm. Yes, two M’s. My family last name is a part of the name I write on the label, and we give them out liberally. You could show some political correctness and call them **Preserve Preserves** , and have each flavor show a different endangered animal on the label. You could feature Bob Marley on the label ( it’d cost a fortune, but it’s a cool idea ) and call your wares **Jammin’ Wid You**. Or you could steal directly and call it an homage and entitle the stuff **Smuckers**. 😃 You might consider using the Parrafin method, and imprint a small lovely poem on each label. You could call them **Wax Poetic**. You could go 90’s, and do a black label with light black print. **Call it Marilyn Jammson: Bread Spread For The Un-Dead** Cartooniverse ---

I don’t have a name but how about a slogan: We’re on the toast of the town. ---
