isn't branding amazing
 

the most asinine words, can be turned into a household name (at least within certain boundaries). just pound it into their heads. day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year :)

yes, I've done pretty well with "12clicks".

say the word at a show and watch the reactions.:1orglaugh

Do you find that the name UltraWiredSex gets remembered easily?

People are stupid and easily led... not really a newsflash. :D

Yahoo, Google, and Amazon come to mind as names that meant nothing at one time, now they're billion dollar brands

Amazing

if you think leading the stupid is easy on any kind of level, lol

I'd never heard of it before til GFY. I had never heard of CFNM before tho either.

Hey quiet forgot to mention in my email yesterday that I have a company that sells technology to Burton & others to do dye-sublimation imprinting onto snowboards. How about starting your own line? :Graucho

1 of 3 partners.

Branding is totally amazing.

I got hooked in my teens. A friend of my fathers was having a hard time coming up with a catchy name for one of his new clothing lines. I came up with one the guy loved. The line sold great and I remember being in a department store and seeing racks full of the dresses with the name I created on the label and I was completely jazzed beyond belief. That was the coolest feeling to see it everywhere.

i guess name really matters... just like our own name... isnt it sucks when our name sounds like "EWW" but still that sounds yucky and eww ring a bell when somebody hear it.

indeed

What was the name?

On the flip side, brand names can become so hahahahahaded in our vocabulary that they become generic instead of referring to the actual brand only. Coke, Band-aid and Kleenex are examples.

Geeze - "e m b e d" is banned? LOL! :1orglaugh

LOL You foul mouth you!! LOL

Coke?

YOU SHOULD HAVE USED QUICK BUCK!

Worked for me.

It may just be a southern thing, but when someone says "Do you want a Coke?" And you say "Yes", then next question is "What kind? I've got 7-up, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, regular Coke, Diet Coke, etc?". :winkwink:

Is branding important when you are bootstrapping?
