Adding these as your “key elements”
of web design
Trang 2What’s in a Name
• Must be legal
• Memorable and understandable
• Help you understand the company better
• The usual mash of two unrelated words often does not work
• The technology sector is more accustomed
to these word-collision names than most industries
•Challenge
everything
Trang 3• An in-joke only you and your partners understand, just
between you and your customers builds barriers– not bridges.
• Using your personal name may make it difficult to grow the
business, suggests an ego, and may make it difficult to sell the business in the future
• People may always ask to speak
to “Ronald MacDonald” even though it is not appropriate
•He keeps going and
going and going.
Trang 4• Creating a Slogan from Scratch
– A compelling slogan can be a vital
business tool Doing it yourself requires creativity, clear thinking, and some constructive criticism
– While some startup entrepreneurs hire
professionals they're usually counting every penny they put into their
fledgling enterprises Fortunately, coming up with your own slogan isn't too tough
• Start by brainstorming
•Finish the Fight
Trang 5Avoid redundant messages
– Don't pick a slogan that simply
reiterates your company name
– It should enhance and
complement that primary statement about your company and provide would-be customers with new, positive information about you
•Can you hear me
now? Good!
Trang 6DEFINE YOUR NICHE
• Take a hard look at what your
company is, what it does, and why the world should care
"Ask tough questions about your vision, the rationale behind your firm, how is it unique, and what will separate your company from the pack,"
•Easy, Breezy,
Beautiful,
Trang 7• "Come up with some nouns and
adjectives that you think are attributes of your company—words you and others
would use to describe it
• begin listing the values and vision of your
company, some powerful words should start emerging that reflect your "brand promise"
• "Your slogan should reflect the
experience that you want your customers
to have with you"
•Maybe she's
born with it
Trang 8TEST ADAPTABILITY
• Rank the top few slogan
possibilities by how well they hit your message and how clever and compelling they are (see
BusinessWeek.com, 8/28/06,
"Small Company, Big Brand").
• The winning possibilities should
lend themselves to permutations and variations that might be
improvements if a word is tweaked here or there
•Eat Fresh!
Trang 9• Ideally, a slogan should be fewer than seven words "It should be used everywhere, including your e-mail signature line,"
• It doesn't have to be funny, clever, or rhyme, but it should
be simple, positive, believable, memorable, competitive,
original, and benefit-oriented
• CHECK FOR MATCHES
•Betcha can't eat
just one
