The name is wealth.

Especially on the Internet, the name is your most valuable asset, which is the main difference between the Internet and the real world.

However, on the Internet, the name is everything, unless you enter the website, otherwise you can not find clues about what it does.

Everything begins with name.

According to the naming strategy of Web sites, Al Chis, one of the founders of location theory and the world's top marketing master, has put forward eight guiding principles. Of course, they are also effective for brands outside the Internet: 1, the shorter the name, the better the net name is to enter the computer, so it should be short and easy to spell.

In fact, the names of all brands should not be complicated and difficult to remember.

The words, syllables and letters of brand names are valuable. You can't use long words when you can find short words.

In particular, for technical products, if you want to have a broad customer base instead of just those early recipients (those who are willing to buy any new technology), we need a simple name that can attract non technical users.

3DO Interactive Multiplayer is very popular with the media. Why is it not successful in the market? The reason is that its name is long and complex. It can almost be called "the worst name in history" with the world's first personal computer MITS Altair8800.

Even after it lowered its price, people still think that the 3D machine is a professional game player, not a mainstream product.

The simple name can achieve the short and effective effect, and help to improve the consumer's cognitive ability to the brand.

Motorola has simplified its trademark from Motorola to Moto, because of this consideration.

Similarly, in addition to renaming "Amoy", Amoisonic has changed its English trademark "Amoi." to "Amoi.". Some international brands have chosen shorter words from the very beginning, such as Aim toothpaste, Raid pesticides, Bic ball point pens, Visa cards, Nike and the world's fastest growing fashion brand Zara fashion retail chain store, etc., with only three or four letters.

2, the name should be concise, and the simplicity is not equal to the length of the word.

Simple names repeat only several letters in the alphabet.

For example, although Coca-Cola has 8 letters, it only uses 4 letters.

It is easy to spread, concise and clear. It is easy to attract customers, greatly enhance the possibility of people passing the name by mouth, and convey a broad meaning to consumers. It helps to create brand associations and arouse communication desire.

Such as "Kangshifu" and "Wangwang" are named as enterprises to save a lot of communication costs.

3, the name should be able to reveal the successful name of the category. It should be able to explain some important properties of the product, or to imply some essential characteristics of this product category, so as to enhance product positioning.

Whisper, the brand of sanitary napkins, is a whisper and secret talk. It sounds like a whisper. The Chinese name is Hu Shubao. It also conveys meticulous care.

There is also Caress soap, the name is clear, and it sounds as smooth as soap; red bull, for an energy drink, who can say that it is not an excellent brand name?

4, the name should be unique, and the brand awareness is very different from the name.

Ideas that are expressed in fresh ways are often more attractive to us to listen carefully.

The new words, such as Xerox, Kodak and Exxon, are completely short and powerful, with distinct personality and convenient for people to remember.

The most common way is to use strange metaphors. This simple method can help you associate one image with another and increase your attention.
