Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation
- Your brand name defines your identity. When choosing your brand name, you should never rush the process or simply settle on something just so you can move on to other tasks. Your name needs to speak to who you are, what you do, and grab people’s attention. AND, at the same time, be something you’re proud to represent. Take your time and land on something you love
- Your brand name needs to make people smile when they think of it…not scratch their heads wondering what it means, how to say it, or whether or not it’s a typo. If a name you’re thinking about makes you scratch your head, scratch it off the list
- People don’t have time to look up your name and, in most cases, you’re not going to be there to explain it to them. Therefore, it makes much more sense to be straightforward and creative versus ambiguous and confusing. Think like your customer!
