Branding Resources

Brand Names are the names that describe and stand for a brand. Of course, you all know that a brand is a promise. Or more specifically, a brand is a promise of an experience.

Your goods or services will become known as brand name goods when customers have enjoyed the experience and the marketplace anoints you with recognition.

Engineers make devices. Marketeers make products. But brands are made in the mind of the consumer. The brand name is simply the shorthand used to describe this perception. Once earned it is very valuable, and you don’t want anyone watering it down with other naming confusion, so make sure your brand names, and would-be brand names, are all registered trademarks.

Brand names can be bought and sold, and in fact, a company’s brand equity is often worth a lot of money. During their financial reorganization, Ford did not take any government money. But they did loan a few billion against their Blue Oval logo!
