The Product Naming Development Update is a recurring post from BrandClarity to inform our readers of our new and exciting verbal brand development projects.

We offer two different approaches to product naming:

MarketVise is the most market-intensive trade name development process available. It utilizes multiple stages of creative and market research to deliver target market endorsed, legally viable, linguistically appropriate names to communicate your positioning.

Creative JumpStart is our pay-as-you-go list methodology which delivers 15 legally prescreened trade name candidates submitted to the client in increments of five names each. A client feedback session is conducted after each list submission.

Recent Product Naming Results:

Product naming Bloom

Bloom

Food Lion, a subsidiary of Delhaize Group, is one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States with over 1300 stores. Food Lion sought to create a grocery concept which was deisgned as an uncomplicated way to shop with the freshest products available. The company desired a trade name which communicated these attributes. In addition to the brand name, Bloom, the tagline "a different kind of grocery store" was created to communicate their desired positioning.


 Honda Clarity

Honda Clarity

Honda introduced its new zero-emission hydrogen power fuel cell sedan. BrandClarity was tasked with creating an international trade name which communicated not only the no emissions benefit, but also Honda's clear environmental focus. Clarity as a brand name very effectively accomplishes both those objectives.


 Product naming Bush Beans

BUSH'S GRILLIN' BEANS

BrandClarity was retained to create four new flavor names for BUSH Brothers' line of GRILLIN' Beans. The flavor names created include: Smokehouse Tradition, Southern Pit Barbecue, Steakhouse Recipe and Bourbon and Brown Sugar. BUSH'S required that each flavor name capture the essence of the each product's taste. All names were paired with the products in taste tests to insure that they properly communicated the consumer's perception of product taste.

Recent Product Naming Results:

Product Naming Pontiac

Pontiac Torrent

Pontiac approached BrandClarity to develop a new identity for the debut of their new V6 crossover SUV. The trade name, Torrent, was developed to denote the vehicle's swiftness, power and ruggedness. The name Torrent is a current usage word meaning to exhibit a strong flow as in a swift current of water.


 Product Naming Abbott

Abbott EarlyShield

BrandClarity recently developed the EarlyShield trade name for Abbott Nutrition. This product is the latest advancement in infant formula. It consists of a unique blend of prebiotics, nucleotides and antioxidants, which are the nutrients found in breast milk. The product supports a baby's natural defenses, digestive health and important immunity building blocks. The trade name EarlyShield is functional and properly supports the product's positioning by directly communicating this message.


Product Naming Bayer

Bayer Profender

Profender is the world's first spot-on intestinal wormer for cats. It combines powerful broad spectrum control of intestinal worms with the ease and convenience of a spot-on treatment. BrandClarity created the functional new word, Profender, to communicate the core messages of professional and proactive defense. In our experience, new words tend to be easier to register and defend, but often times more expensive to support. The trick is to create a new word which distinctively and clearly communicates the desired message. Profender does this very effectively.

Product Naming Energizer

Energizer NIGHT STRIKE

Energizer was introducing a line extension to their new Hard Case® line of professional lighting products. This new line of lighting products was to be targeted toward outdoor recreational activities; primarily hunting enthusiasts who go on extended outdoor trips. BrandClarity created the name Night Strike to communicate the preferred positioning of activity, ruggedness and brightness for this new line lighting products. The new trade name has been so well received that it is being extended into their military lighting product line.

 Product Naming Johnson & Johnsons

Johnson & Johnson - Soothing Naturals

Johnson & Johnson recently launched a new baby moisturizer that helps soothe lips and skin irritation from dryness. The trade name Soothing Naturals was developed to communicate not only the soothing nature of the product, but also to speak to the trusted natural ingredients that work together in an exclusive formula to provide superior moisturization for a baby's delicate skin. 

 product naming alteos

PPG - Alteos

PPG was seeking to create new international brand and category names for their new electrochromic dimmable aerospace windows. The product replaces traditional window shading systems and eliminates much of the maintenance and warranty costs associated with these types of systems. PPG required an international trade name that was distinctive and had an interesting story which could be communicated to their customers. The new trade name needed to be legally available internationally in multiple trade mark classes. BrandClaritycreated the name Alteos from the Latin prefix Alt from "Altus" meaning high or noble denoting performance and the suffix "Eos" which in Greek means the Goddess of the Dawn. This new word gave PPG a distinctive legally viable trade name which had an interesting and memorable story behind it. BrandClarity also developed the category name "Interactive Window Systems" to further communicate the highly customizable interactive nature of this new product line.

Brand Name GRILLIN’ Beans Tests, And Tastes Great

Posted on Sun, Jan 10, 2010

BUSH Brothers’, America’s leading brand of Baked Beans, selected BrandClarity to select brand names for its four new flavors in its GRILLIN’ Beans line.

BUSH’s wanted each product name to remind consumers of each products specific taste. BrandClarity used its Marketvise branding methodology to match consumer taste tests with a variety of potential product names.

Focus groups provided market research data to help determine which brand names best communicated the individual product taste, according to consumers.

BrandClarity’s verbal brand development strategy recommended the following product names as a result of this extensive consumer name research, capturing the essence of each product’s taste:

  1. Steakhouse Recipe – An authentic blend of beans and brown sugar simmered in a robust steak sauce
  2. Smokehouse Tradition – Tender beans simmered in a sweet and smoky sauce
  3. Southern Pit Barbecue – Slow cooked beans in a rich barbecue sauce for an authentic grilled flavor you could only get in the South, until now
  4. Bourbon and Brown Sugar – Robust beans with a touch of natural bourbon flavor that adds just the right sweetness

BrandClarity’s development methodology for BUSH’s encompassed the essential product name elements, matched to the sensory attributes of the product itself, to develop strong verbal branding.

To deliver innovative and inspired ideas to BUSH Brothers, we deploy a culturally diverse international creative team, who craft unique on-target name and tagline candidates. Our brand name teams work closely with our market insights group to stay abreast of changes in the target market’s attitudes, preferences, desires and needs. BrandClarity incorporated formal market research during multiple stages of BUSH’s creative process confirming target market endorsement. In addition, we addressed critical risk management issues for BUSH Brothers by conducting legal and linguistic evaluations on potential name and tagline candidates. This balance of creativity and strategic focus enabled us to think outside the box while staying in touch with consumer brand name perception, resulting in maximum market acceptance.

BrandClarity believes that a desirable verbal brand precedes market understanding and acceptance, creating superior positioning opportunities for our clients. Our strategic brand selection process promotes client interaction, provides market driven brands, removes doubt and delivers clear, concise and memorable market endorsed results. BrandClarity's methologies utilize market feedback to guide product brand name research and deliverables. We deliver legally viable, focus group researched, linguistcially fitting names which match our client’s intended positioning. Our behavioral research enables clients to gain deep insight into consumer motivations.

Since 1995 BrandClarity has specialized in market insights and strategic brand development. Our expertise is focused on specific core elements of building strong brands: target market research, verbal and visual branding. Today’s rapidly changing business environment requires that companies keep their finger firmly planted on the pulse of the market.
