name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 01:21 AM

I'm changing some things around since the six month anniversary and evaluation of NABBW.

I'm combining the BWS and NABBW newsletters and I'm searching for a newsletter name.

I'm thinking something like
All Things Baby Boomer Women
or
Everything Baby Boomer Women.

How would you like to enter the contest to name the BWS/NABBW Newsletter?

I remember Pam named the Bragging Writes forum.

Anyone want to take a stab at it?

The winner receives a FREE Friends Heal Friends t shirt and a dozen floral note cards.

Contest ends Monday the 8th.

Post your suggestions here.

How about Baby Boomer Women's United Voice?

or United Baby Boomer Women's Voice

or United Voice of Baby Boomer Women

or Wellspring; Boomer Women's Voice

I'll have to think some more...

How about..."Boomer Women Speak"

or... We Are All in This Together

Lord knows we all have been in, going in, knows someone who has been in, or are on the outside looking in...jump on in!! We are all in this together, we might as well learn from each other!

Could always be....

Bluehairs Unite!!!


Sorry, just had to throw that one in!!! Saw a group of "experienced" ladies yesterday at the hospital. They were there to tour the part of the cancer center that their golf tournament had benefitted. Oh at the canes and jewelry, but dont get in their way, they were all pretty spry and were there to see what their money had bought! Would not have wanted to be trampled by that lot!!

I like The Hot Flash! It's very catchy!

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 06:11 PM

Oh yeah, The Hot Flash is a keeper! Good job, TVC!!!

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/06/06 07:26 AM

This is great. Thanks for all the ideas.

Here's what I'm thinking...

Should it simply be Boomer Women Speak? Hmmm, I think not.

I like The Hot Flash but I'm in this for the long haul and boomer women won't always have hot flashes. Will we?

Am I being too serious?

The Baby Boomer Broadcast is good but it would have to have women in it because I'm not including men!

Think big. Think forever. Think in terms of magazine/newspaper names.

Melissa, bluehairs? I'm not ready for that yet. HA!

Think of what the 60s were like. Think about us being pioneers in our own right. Thikn about my mission to educate and empower boomer women.

Keep the wheels turning.

Boomer Women Speak is simple, elegant, timeless, and says everything you want to say. The word "speak" can be a powerful word, especially when used in a concise context like this. I wouldn't dismiss that one yet.

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 08:41 PM

How about this?

Boomer Women Live

Or, you could just call it "Dotsie" - and be just like Oprah!

Or you could have a shorter, snappier name and then have a tagline like "The magazine for baby boomer women"
Posted by: Dancing Dolphin

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 08:43 PM

That's it! Call it "Alive!" with the tagline from above.

Alive
A magazine for baby boomer women.

I like that!

If you have a really long title with all the baby boomer words, it can get cumbersome.

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 10:06 PM

You could go with, Boomer Women Broadcast.
Boomer Women Speak, has done pretty well for you so far though.

and then there's always:
Menopausal Maniac LOL (Just kidding)

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/05/06 10:42 PM

Yeah, Boomer Women Speak is already a recognized name, and it shows that we have a voice and we want to share it.

Is there a reason you don't want Boomer Women Speak?

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/06/06 03:22 AM

Is The Boomer Society taken?

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/07/06 05:47 PM

Boomer Women Speak pretty well says it all Dotsie. I agree that it has done you well and you've worked very hard to get the name known !

But Hot Flashes is "catchy" and is something we can all relate to in one way or another - from "looking forward to" to "been there - doing it" [Razz]

I like the tag idea - short sweet and to the point

maybe combine them into something like

"HOT FLASHES"
Boomer Women Speak

You'd think with all the clever women writers here this would be a no-brainer wouldn't you [Big Grin]

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/07/06 06:47 PM

I like "Hotflash"...........It plays off the Newsflash idea.
With Broadcast why not play off the word "broad" and do "Boomer Broad-Cast"
or..........
"Boomer Gals Gazette"
"Boomer Babes Bulletin"
"Boomer Sisters Scoop"

This is fun............

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/07/06 06:51 PM

"Dynamic Dames Dish"
.......Sorry everyone....too much coffee woo hoo!

We need something cute, like Val's idea or BOOMER BABES BLAB or something FUN. And content should be fun too. We're on information overload. Let's have some fun.

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/08/06 11:00 PM

How about Boomer Womens' World? I'm looking for womenthing that includes our voices, stories, education pieces, etc. I'm think Workd could be it.

Thoughts?

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/08/06 11:43 PM

There's already a Woman's World magazine:

http://www.magazinecity.com/8786-52.html?ovchn=GGL&ovcpn=Spring+2006&ovcrn=womens+world&ovtac=PPC&gclid=CMnswL6z6YQCFR6DCwoduAkbnA

And a Womens World Organization:

http://www.wworld.org/

I like the sound of it, but you would have to be careful that the original Woman's World didn't have a problem with it. My 2 cents... I'll keep thinking...

Oh boy. Now I'm really confused. I need to consider all of these. Thanks for your great thoughts.
Posted by: smilinize

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/09/06 08:42 PM

My only advice is make it fun. Give it a hook. Something to make us smile.

Serious makes us sound OLD!

Alliteration always works for me.

Re: name the boomer newsletter - 05/10/06 04:00 PM

Smile, I appreciate your thoughts of making it fun, but since it is tied to the assocaition I feel as though it has to be somewhat serious, or formal.

I believe I am going to go with Boomer Womens' World.

I want to thank all 13 of you for jumping in and showing you care. I really appreciate it.

Please email me at Dots@boomerwomenspeak.com with your screen name, real name and address, and you'll receive either a t-shirt, ot set of note cards in the mail. Oh, please give me your t-shirt size too in case you are a t-shirt winner. You must email me in order to win.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness!
