When it comes to generating ideas of any kind, and definitely when generating name options, the best way to get awesome ideas is to cook up lots and lots of ideas!
How Generating Brand Names Is Like Cleaning Your House
How is generating brand names like cleaning your house? I explain it all in this #tellthetruths video.
The Beautiful Challenge of Naming
Should your brand name tell your whole story? This becomes one of the beautiful challenges of naming. In some of my previous #tellthetruths videos about naming I’ve talked about the importance of having transparent names that really tell people what they get from your product or service – either rationally or in terms of emotional benefits. In this video I go in a different direction!
Are All The Good Names Taken?
Are all the good names taken? Sometimes it seems that way. There are almost TWO BILLION websites out there, and each one has a name of some kind, of course. But no, there’s still lots of room to come up with a great name for your brand, company or product.
The Autocorrect Factor
Here’s a tip that might help with selecting a name. All other considerations being equal, don’t pick the name that gets consistently mangled by Autocorrect. (I like to call that thing we all experience getting “ducked over!”) A name has to be really, really good to be worth respelling it repeatedly.
The Best & Worst Brand Name
What do I think is the worst brand name of all time? It’s also the best! Okay, maybe it isn’t the very worst or best, but watch my video to see the brand name I’m fascinated by because it’s just awful and also quite brilliant.
Great Brand Names Are Visual
When a brand name is something you can visualize, you’re much more likely to remember it. Even better, visual content within a name can help cement the meaning of the concept you’re offering.
Naming Tradeoffs: Choosing The Best Option
Naming brands often presents a choice between a name that’s very clear and transparent in its communication or one that’s more differentiated from the rest of the category. Very few names can be both at the same time. BrandTrue shares some thoughts on choosing the best option.
