Users treat you more respectfully when you own a premium name, and by that, I mean that you will not be considered someone new when joining chat rooms and talking to other people. They are recognized as a status on IMVU.It’s easier for customers to remember the name of the shop they want to visit and thus, having an easy-to-remember name brings in more sales. They are crucial for creating a brand and a name as a creator.Premium names are important for two reasons: Thus, many people opt for short words that users can associate with other words: Lune, Loev, Bby, etc. Not only this, but really popular words like the list mentioned previously are ghost accounts, meaning that the names are taken, but the owners of the accounts do not use IMVU and/or do not create IMVU products. Not every short word is easy to remember when users search through hundreds of creators in the shop, that is why some people have opted for words that can be associated with other popular words. This is crucial for returning customers, as the more customers return to your shop, the more sales you get and the higher the chances your product becomes hot selling and reaches the top pages of the shop. The idea behind a premium name is that a user is much more likely to remember a short word than a long one. Many users and known creators have opted for multiple words in their names and very rarely will you come across a popular creator that has a very complex name that is hard to remember, the reason for this is because there is some marketing psychology that affects user behavior. There are also short, unique combinations that are not necessarily English words or worldwide known words (such as pizza, taco, tutu, etc.). are still considered premium, whereas “Redd23” is far from being considered premium because it has a total of 3 characters that are deviations of the base word “red” which might be hard to remember. While the words above are part of the elite premium ones (mostly one syllable), names such as “Redd”, “Babyy”, “Nightz”, etc. These words do not have extra characters (such as unneeded numbers or characters).Įxamples of premium names are short, medium, or sometimes long nouns, adjectives or verbs usually, as well as female/male names and geographical names, such as: What exactly are premium names? Premium names are short, easy-to-remember words or names. Important note: when someone asks you for your IMVU name/IMVU account, they are always referring to the username because that’s how they can identify you, by your unique username. In the image below, you can see which one is the alias and which one is the actual username of the account. On the default IMVU website, in the discussions, groups and in the default shop, the name that appears for a user is the username of the account, not the alias. The username is the actual name of the account, the one you use to log in on IMVU (besides the email address associated with the account). On IMVU’s feed, users have the ability to change their names to whatever they want to, either single words, multiple words, or character combinations, as well as special ASCII characters (hearts, dots, stars, etc.). For a few years now, the red field is no longer present and the creation of the account is successful, but the username is given random characters. In the past, when you would choose the username, if it were already taken, the username field would become red, and registering the account would be blocked until a unique username was chosen. This confuses new people quite a bit and it is a marketing strategy by IMVU. For example, if user X creates an account and names it “Anna” because the actual username is taken, the user will be given a username such as “Anna52385” and their alias will be by default Anna. If the username chosen is taken, the user is not notified, however random number characters will be added to the username. It’s also the name displayed in chat rooms, in the discussions section, groups, profile pages. When a user signs up for IMVU, they are required to choose a username that will become the account name with which they log in. What are premium names? Are they important? Does owning a specific name affect sales as a creator?
