Business Naming Services
Are King at Eat My Words
At Eat My Words, 100% of what we do is creating names for brands. Unlike many creative service businesses who undervalue brand names or branding firms who just want to hurry up and get you a name so they can design a logo, we put great care into coming up with names for our client’s brands. We have a proven project framework that goes much deeper than finding available domain names. Our sole focus is coming up with dozens of fresh name suggestions for you.
Whether you hire Eat My Words for business naming, product naming, or both, you’ll start by completing our proprietary Creative Brief. To better understand your needs, we’ll want to learn about your brand story, brand strategy, target market, domain name needs, competitors in your industry, and more. From there, we’ll have a team Kickoff Meeting, then we’ll get to work creating your first round of names!
Why You Should Judge a Naming
Firm By Their Names
Naming companies all have different methodologies. It’s not easy to compare these apples-to-apples. Instead, we suggest you judge all of us on what should matter the most to you – the names they create. Look at the name of the branding agency.
If that’s the best they can do for their own company name, will yours be any better? Then look at the names they’ve created for their branding clients. Ask yourself if the names in their portfolio have these essential qualities…
Customers want to feel clued in, not clueless. The right company name will suggest a positive brand experience and hint that your brand has a compelling story to tell.
Research shows that humans remember things they already have an association with much better than unfamiliar words. That’s what makes a name sticky.
More than 50% of buying decisions are driven by emotion. Your company name should resonate with your target audience, which will aid in brand recognition.
When people really like your name, it creates instant brand affinity – even before they have done business with you. Likeable should be part of your branding strategy.
A good brand name will account for future growth and not lock you in and limit you. (Can you imagine if Amazon had been named Book Barn?)
A name that’s spelled awkwardly, is hard to pronounce, or has an unfamiliar meaning will not seem as clever to your customers as it does to you. It will only frustrate them.
Brand name trends, like forcing a word to end in “ly” or using domain extensions like .ai or .io may seem cool today, but tomorrow they’ll be as outdated as eHarmony and iMotors.
