Needless to say, a powerful aspect of product marketing is the product name itself. Consequently, choosing a name for a product is very important, and companies which specialize in naming products find their services in high demand. A name can have up to three functions:
- to proclaim a benefit: DieHard, EasyOff, Inspiron, Achieva, Aspire
- to distinguish the company/product from the competition: Zest, fatbrain.com, Amazon
- to offer a new vision: Pentium, Swiffer, Yahoo
Start here to read about the experience and practice of one naming company, Lexicon Branding Inc. of Sausalito, California.
