Names Under the Loupe: What Would Barbie Ride?
The two-wheel revolution is upon us. But it’s hardly a Harley revival. Modern bikers rather minimize the carbon footprint than raise hell on the highway. Yes, we’re talking electric scooters, those weird things that promise low speed at a high price. Unless you rent one by the hour, of course.
Scooters are quite interesting from a naming perspective. A sharp Razor, a chic Glion Dolly, a practical Ecoreco or a $5,000..
All Brand Names Matter. Some More Than Others.
“No brand becomes iconic without a solid business strategy”. A recent major U.K. study shows that over half of the respondents would choose a well-known brand over a bargain, even if it meant spending more money.

Differentiation is not an easy word to pronounce, but it’s even harder to achieve. Any business that stands out in its key markets, will have an advantage against competitors that choose to play it safe. We all know that, we all say that – but in most cases, it’s just empty words. A strong, unique brand name is one way to really..
One Word Names – A Good Affair
Recent studies show that startups benefit from choosing a one word brand name. Newly established businesses have reported an increased market value of 2.53 %, compared to the ones with names that include several words. Another huge success factor is the actual word itself.
