Naming conventions are used in many places, from e-commerce (product and image names) to filing (business and home). Defining the right naming conventions is critical to efficiency and sanity.
Tips:
When you create (or revamp) your filing system, set up categories of files by color to more easily find what you need. Some people label their files alphabetically regardless of category. Then, they have to look through more files than necessary. When color coding categories into, for example, 'business marketing', 'business tax-related', 'family-related', 'school-related', 'pet-related', etc., much time is saved in searching and filing new papers.
When setting up directories of files, understand how your e-commerce site allows you to upload (e.g., images). Some setups are more cumbersome than others.
When carrying multiple brands on your e-commerce site, set up the product/image names with the brand name in it. This will help when searching for all products in the brand more effectively. Maintenance of inventory becomes easier to process.
When you create your organizational system, create a few samples in a few different categories so that you can see how your methodology really works before committing to it.
