I use the same name in all my collectable forums, sounds silly, but they get Googled regularly, and it all adds to the brand familiarity.

Ah ha! One of my favourite topics! For those that remember I used to have some very distinctive branding, the colours were absolutely awful, but everyone that had seen one of my listings, eBay shop or about me page instantly recognised it when they saw another.

After a couple of years I decided I needed something a bit more professional and toned down but I still have everything matching and that’s (IMO) the most important part of branding – consistency and recognisability
