that "catchy" is not a selling strategy.
The need for a "catchy" name seems to be almost parasitical. "Catchy" is a marketing sickness that we must rid the world of once and for all!
Here's my question:
How can we, as marketing people, stamp out this
vexing misconception that all that's needed to fix one's marketing woes is a "catchy" name, headline, or hook?
How can we, as marketing people, educate forum posters, out clients, and the world at large that "catchy" is not what matters, that the real thing that matters in a name is what the name implies and and what it delivers in terms of value and in terms of a solution to the buyer's problem.
I've put up some serious points because I'd like to spark a serious debate. Pipe up!
