Name Testing
The brand name is a "bucket" that you hope to fill with goodwill and positive feelings about your product. The brand name is memory linkage to your product
and it is an identifier that distinguishes your brand from all other brands. Needless to say, the brand name is a critical marketing variable in virtually all product
categories.
The product naming process typically begins with the creation of a large number of potential names. Ten to twenty names are common at this beginning stage.
The research objective is to identity the name that resonates with consumers. NameScreen® is our Internet-based system used to identify
the best names.
How Does NameScreen® Work?
A representative sample of 200 to 300 target audience consumers is recruited from our Internet panel. These participants are invited to come to our
website and review the names. Each respondent sees all of the names at one time on his/her computer monitor, in randomized order. Then, each person
views the names a second time and answers a series of six questions about each name. The answers to these six questions are fed into a mathematical
model to calculate an overall score for each name. The highest-rated names are recommended for further development.
