#1033 What's In a Name?
Manage episode 429977895 series 2370223
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with start-ups, as they look for name for their new business or product. The process is rarely easy, but always interesting.
The process should start with a look at the ultimate customer and the unique elements of the solution being presented. Even in traditional industries, looking for a unique twist will help set the business apart.
So what else should you consider on your quest to find the perfect name?
- Simple and Memorable: If the name isn’t short, punchy and relevant customers may struggle to remember it when it is time to buy! Prospective customers may do a Google or voice search for your business. If you name is hard to pronounce or spell, they may have trouble finding you.
- Relevant: It may or may not be descriptive, but it should evoke a feeling, perception, or impression in the mind of your target audience.
- Unique: If you want to trademark the name, it needs to be unique in the category.
