About the name Movers and Shakers
Movers and Shakers came to be after a multi day process of highlighting names that really described the business and some of our basic brand values. We wanted to include things like, value, love, bid, to name a few. It was not until Tiffany, Mike’s wife suggested that we look up words affiliated with auctions that this gem came into sight. Among the terms was Movers and Shakers. “What is that?” Joseph said.
As stated on a Wikipedia page we found.
“The term “Movers and shakers” was coined by poet Arthur O’Shaughnessy in his 1874 poem Ode. and is commonly used to describe powerful and worldly individuals and groups and those who make great accomplishments.”
Once Tiffany read this to the two owners, they mutually looked at each other and smiled. Over the next few days they spoke to more people and then a short while after that, the name and domain were registered. Everyone liked and encouraged the name, many liked how it stood out for having a deeper meaning.
Not only did the name describe who we were, but it also described our clients. Our clients are those who speak in actions as much as words, and really love to help the world and do well for their families.
“This name is perfect on so many levels.”
