Changing the name of your GigSalad profile
You can request to change the act or business name on your GigSalad profile at any time through your control panel
How to request a new act name:
1 Log in to your account and go to the Edit profile section.
2 Under General info, select Act name.
3 Type in the new act name exactly as you want it to appear.
4 Click Submit request.
Once the request has been submitted, it will be reviewed by GigSalad for approval. You’ll receive an email once it’s been approved and changed.
If denied, you’ll receive an email explaining why, and you’ll be able to submit a new request. Use the tips below to ensure your act name will meet our requirements.
Act name tips and requirements:
- Your profile name cannot include websites, email addresses, or phone numbers.
- You cannot use copyrighted names or titles. (i.e., "Disney" or Disney characters)
- Be specific. Don't use generic titles like "Face Painter" or "Photographer." If you don't have a unique business name, you can use your name or add your location (i.e., Boston Photographer).
- Your profile name should not contain strange characters or be written in all caps.
- Memberships should not be transferred. If you are changing your name because you are starting an entirely new act or business, you should disable your profile and create a new one instead.
- GigSalad reserves the right to edit or change your profile name if it doesn't comply with our guidelines or the terms of service.
One last tip! Your profile name is one of the first things potential clients see, so choose it wisely. Keep it short but descriptive. It should be unique to you but not too difficult to remember. If you want help, just reach out to us, and we'll be happy to give you some ideas.
