When Naming Products Don’t Confuse Your Customers

Naming products and service solutions is a tricky business, and at times I have spent a disproportionate amount of time working on a good name for a business venture than the technical aspects of a business.

Good names are a key to long term success.

My favorite branding example is Google, which created the #1 most recognizable name in the world after only 6 years in existence, with zero advertising.

Compare this with the new Network Solutions service offering, which is a recipe for customer confusion. NetSol is trying to make themselves cool and rename all standard services. This will not work. Renaming “domain name” to “nsWebAddress” is just a bad idea and guaranteed to fill their support line with questions.

    A mere online presence won’t serve the purpose of reaching out and impressing your target audience, to beat the competition you need a well designed website with a good search rank and for that you need help of companies which provide complete solutions in website designing and development and search engine optimization.

    Be sure to read the Webmaster Book before writing about naming new website ventures. New businesses need a good plan before beginning SEO comment campaigns.
