    Hi gagandeep36,

    Randall has shared some very important advice and when he speaks I pay attention.

    Today I hope you're having a great day but more importantly an AMAZING life. "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches..."


    THE PURPOSE OF A GREAT NAME...
    Back in ancient times a name was a powerful tool that demonstrated something about the person or thing being named.

    The person who named it had authority over it.

    If actively and effectively "Decreed with Authority" that name would >>>>>>>PROJECT itself far into the future into many lives, villages and camps. Often times that name would still be heard and mentioned long after the individual's presence was gone. And so goes the existence of a great name. In our day and age if a name is valuable enough it's name alone is invaluable and carries with it powerful goodwill.

    Is that what you and your organization would like to happen with the name of your company?

    Would you like your name to arouse attention? Make peoples heads turn or their thoughts toward your product?

    Sure you would...then take giving your company a name to be a serious Endeavour and with that said remember "Every purpose is established by counsel..."


    A STORY ABOUT HOW I GOT MY NAME MAY HELP...
    My name arouses attention and that's because my mother did not chose my name by accident. She intentionally chose a name that was different. Even though I'm African American, Indian and White my name is neither African, Indian, European nor American...it is Hebrew. Since Hebrew is one of the oldest languages still being used and spoken it evokes a voice from the past. When that name is present or listed among contemporary names fortunately for me it stands out as does my dark skin. The name my mother chose for me also has a powerful meaning...it means "Jehovah does succeed".


    Do you want a name that's outstanding?

    Sure you do! Then chose your name wisely. And you would be wise to chose a name that stands out and at the same time tells a powerful story.

    So what is the story behind why you believe healthy food is important for children to eat? I know it may seem obvious but what is not obvious is "why you're deciding to enter into an industry full of healthy products without a name that carries with it a powerful story?"

    When I'm introduced to people they always say something like "that's different"..."women say that's pretty, I like that", Often times people who have not heard it before tie it to a name they associate with and then they'll say "did you say Jeremiah". This opens a huge door for me to clarify, re-communicate and often share my story about how I got the name.

    Do you think after a conversation like this people forget who I am? If you said no you're right!

    Now if I knew that I could help you get to a name that carries a message and resonates in the human heart. Something ancient and something powerful that will spin upon the ancient cords of our DNA causing all who hear it regardless of culture to remember it's sound from times past then I would be serving you most authentically.

    I know I haven’t' given you what you came here looking for originally. But if you've really heard what I've stated today you've just walked away with more than you could bargain for and it was all for Free, full of a lot of love because more than giving you a name I want you to become immensely prosperous with your new company. REMEMBER... our only real problem in life is our failure to be "MORE Creative" than we’ve ever been. If you “Invent” your opportunity YOU WILL most definitely create your future. I'm only an email away from you if you need my help. Is there anything else I can do for you?

    Here's some research I've just pulled together for you. It's full of some questions that will help you think more clearly about the process so that you can have a successful name that will make a difference first to your customers and then to your company. The only real reason why anyone goes into business is to take care of a customer. If you take care of a customer your customer will take care of you.

    Any additional information you offer only brings you better results. The more you offer the better the results. If you offer less you're probably going to get less even though we want to give you more...It's like trying to build a Great Big house on a small teeny weenie foundation. If you give us enough foundation will build you a Great Big house to put your name in :-)

    Most people fail to do the above even though we highly recommend it but the right information really does make a huge difference...

    Even in basic name creation or "idea generation" establishing a starting point often requires establishing purpose. Taking the steps using the following information below will start, direct and lead that process in the right direction for you.

    A business name should be the out growth of the market you are trying to reach. All names including "A new business name or Tagline" must have some part or a lot of the following comments also made by my three expert friends who participate in our forum below.


    williamarruda says…
    "Your tag line should be 'catchy' and it should speak directly to your target audience and differentiation. A good place to start is to make a list of all the things that differentiate your offerings from your competitors. Then think about which of those differentiators is compelling to your target audience."

    mgoodman...
    provides these great suggestions...
    "Who is the target audience? That's the most important input we need in order to help you with the name. Once we understand who the target audience is, the next question will be "What is the most important benefit they will realize if they use your service?" What makes you different from and better than your competitors?"



    JBtron...
    offers a great deal of insight on this...
    "To really be successful with this query in KHE, your query demands answers to a number of questions regarding your product that will help guide the naming process:

    -What ARE your USPs? Why would someone go to you v. any of the other businesses?

    -Where are you located?

    -What are the short- and long-term business goals for the company, and how are you going to market this new brand in a very large arena with few real players?

    -What are your company’s Core Proposition and Brand Personality?

    Core Prop: What makes you different? Tagline. USPs in a phrase.

    EXAMPLE:

    Bounty: The quicker picker-upper.

    Brand Personality: Describe the product as a person. What is this person’s personality? Outgoing? Vivacious? Mysterious? Is this person an over-achiever? Friendly?

    All these will lead to a series of statements, attributes and directions that are called a Creative Brief. With the properly developed Created Brief, virtually anyone can come up with a name that works."



    This will get us started. By completely answering these questions it would make it much easier to provide you with a name that provokes your clientele to seek your business out over the others. Is there anything else I can do for you?
