A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Product Names Your Customers Will Love

Creating product names your customers end up falling in love with … seem impossible?

Here’s the thing …

When something has a name, it has value and an identity.

A baby becomes ‘Jonathan,’ a cat becomes ‘Fluffy’… Friday night with the kids at grandma’s becomes ‘date night.’

With a name, the generic becomes specific. Filled with meaning.

Marketing companies know the power of creating the right product names, which is why millions of dollars are poured into branding.

Get the name and image right and your product is on the tip of everyone’s tongue and they slip into your everyday life. Your wife doesn’t ask you to get tissues from the store, she asks for Kleenex, your son doesn’t ask for acetaminophen, he wants Tylenol.

And sometimes a name skyrockets the price.

In the UK, common painkillers such as acetaminophen cost around 16 pence from the supermarket.

Choose a ‘famous’ product with the same ingredients (and effects) and you can be paying 1000% more.

A New Way to Think About the Best Blog Post Length

Content creator friend, if you’ve wondered about the best blog post length — can we get real for a sec?

The only kind of content that works for your business is the kind that’s published.

Period, full stop.

The #realtalk about blog post length is this:

Imaginary content doesn’t count
Content plans, outlines, or first drafts won’t help
Your content strategy won’t do a thing until your planned content goes live

In this article, we’re going to take three things into account:

You
Your readers
Your rankings

You may have written content to rank in search engines. You may have written blog posts with your readers in mind. But have you added yourself to the equation?

In the end, your content is:

Created by you — and your health and wellbeing matter
Consumed by your audience — your content length should meet their needs
Found by your prospects — your content needs to rank in search engines so it’s found

We’re going to tackle these in reverse order, starting with the basics of writing content that gets found by the people you want to attract.

That’s where one of my favorite maxims comes from:

'The only website that works is one that's published.' – Pamela WilsonClick To Tweet

Your ideas, your website outline, your page copy, the platform and theme you plan to use … these are all important.

But until your website is published and findable on the internet, it might as well be invisible.
