A Professional Naming Consultant Reveals Proven Strategies for Creating Brand-Calibre Names for Companies, Products and Processes

Names play a big role in your Brand’s success, or lack of it.  As your highest profile and most repeated marketing messages, company, product and service names exert a subtle but powerful influence in every customer encounter.

Names form crucial first impressions.  They shape how customers think and feel about your Brand.  They convey a sense of whether your products are high or low quality and how much they’re worth.  Names even influence how likely customers are to remember, talk or tweet about your company, products and processes.

With so much riding on your name choices, what does it take to win the name game?

In this entertaining and thought-provoking session, professional naming consultant Roger Grant will reveal proven strategies for creating brand-calibre company, product and service names.  He’ll explain the essential attributes names must have to grab attention and entice customers to buy.

Roger will discuss the naming of niche and global brands.  He’ll provide examples of names that make products market leaders and others that destine companies to obscurity.

You’ll also learn how to avoid common pitfalls that lead to substandard company or product titles – names that are confusing, position products as commodities or need extra support in all of your marketing efforts.

Be sure to attend this event so you can win the name game.
