Why Business Names Truly Matter
By Norm Brodsky
In the November 2005 issue of Inc. magazine, Norm Brodsky stated, "Your company’s name plays little, if any, role in determining your success."
While it's true that even businesses with lackluster names can thrive, investing time and energy into crafting a catchy and memorable name is undeniably worthwhile. Here are 10 compelling reasons why:
1. First Impressions Matter: When you introduce your company to strangers, a distinctive name can spark positive recognition and set a promising tone for the business relationship.
2. Attracting the Right Audience: A unique name can draw the customers you desire and deter those you don’t. For example, a playful name may attract those with a sense of humor while a more traditional name might appeal to a professional crowd.
3. Media Magnet: Memorable names can generate media interest. Journalists are often drawn to companies with intriguing names?"consider Rent-a-Wreck as a case in point.
4. Boosting Repeat Business: A standout name helps customers remember you when they’re browsing options. A name like House Husband will likely catch the eye, standing out among competitors such as A-1 Handyman.
5. Simplicity Is Key: A well-chosen name is easy to spell and leads directly to your website, making it simpler for people to find you online.
6. Communication Clarity: A clever name can encapsulate your primary benefit, allowing you to convey your marketing message succinctly.
7. Avoiding Legal Hurdles: A name hastily chosen could lead to legal issues or adverse publicity. It's important to research thoroughly to avoid unnecessary complications, as seen with Andy, who had to change his business name twice, or the UK shoe company that unwittingly used a name with tragic historical associations.
8. Visibility in Directories: Names starting with early alphabet letters appear more prominently in directories, making it easier for customers to find you without relying solely on expensive ads.
9. Creative Marketing Potential: An innovative name provides a strong foundation for crafting compelling marketing content, whereas a dull name offers little inspiration.
10. Employee and Customer Engagement: A company name that employees and customers enjoy saying creates a more vibrant and positive working environment, avoiding names that are difficult or have negative connotations.
In essence, while success is possible regardless of your company’s name, choosing a name that resonates can enhance your business in multifaceted ways.
