Naming a product or a company is a difficult decision. Unlike most challenges you’ll face, this one is in a field in which virtually everyone claims expertise. The first thing to remember when naming something is not to rely too heavily on another’s advice. Names created by committee are usually losers.

Don’t forget about the law. Your name can cause a Jurassic Park-size problem if you don’t first conduct a legal name search. The last thing you want is to hit it big, then be forced to change your name because a tiny company has the same name and wants $100 million from you for the rights to it.

Start by sitting down and making a list of what you want your name to stand for in the mind of the consumer. Your name should reflect your name and your positioning. Haagen-Dazs is supposed to make you think of cold fjords and rich, creamy milk. It doesn’t matter that there’s no such person as Haagen or no such place as Dazs–the name serves its purpose.
You must decide what you want your name to imply. It’s usually the first thing your prospects learn about you. Here are some of the things your name can tell your prospects about you:

  • Quick
    The best
    Convenient
    Highest quality
    Experienced
    Fun
    Outrageous
    Reliable
    Inexpensive
    Guaranteed
    Recommended
    Honest
    Dangerous
    Unique

EIGHT SIMPLE RULES FOR CHOOSING A BUSINESS NAME

1. Your name should have a positive ring. Avoid anything negative. Your name should make people enthusiastic and optimistic about working with you.

2. Avoid difficult names. If people have trouble pronouncing it or spelling it, they won’t remember it. (Embarrassing exceptions: “Haagen-Dazs” and “Guerrilla.”)

3. Make your name unique. You don’t want people confusing you with a business that already exists, especially if it’s one with a poor reputation.

4. Don’t use a name that will limit you down the road. Acme Sleep Shop will limit you to selling sleep products. Acme Interiors is more open to expansion.

5. Use a descriptive name, such as Jiffy Lube. Note that this name also conveys a benefit.

6. Don’t get caught up in trends or fads. While it may be profitable in the short run, you can’t ride a fad for the long haul, and focus on the long haul.

7. Your name should reflect your identity: dignity, largeness, local identification, quality and other descriptive elements.

8. Pick a name that looks and sounds attractive on the phone, on the radio, on your letterhead, and on your website.

Once you’ve got your list of attributes, try it out on peers and focus groups. For example, if you’re starting a dry cleaning service, ask them if the attributes you’ve chosen — fast, reliable and inexpensive — would meet their needs. If not, adjust your list and try again.

Now that you’ve got a list, you’ve got to make a decision. Do you want a name that’s generic, descriptive or fanciful? Any lawyer will tell you that a fanciful name is the best sort of trademark. It’s the easiest to protect from encroachment by competitors, and eventually it makes the strongest name. A fanciful name is one where no picture comes to mind. No one knows what a Nike or a Xerox looks like.

The problem with fanciful names is that it takes an awful lot of time and money to persuade the consumer that they stand for something. The name itself doesn’t begin by positioning the product or the company. So for most guerrillas, a fanciful name is too expensive to develop into an asset.
The second alternative, which is more difficult to protect, is a descriptive name. These names help position your company or product, and they telegraph information about what you do. Some examples:

  • Speedy Muffler
    Ultimate Auto Body
    College Pro Painters

Descriptive names are my favorites. They communicate enough about your product to help the sale, but they’re unique and stick in the customer’s mind and help stop the competition.

Lastly, you can use a generic name. These names are virtually unprotectable, but they have the ability to immediately telegraph what your business does.

SOME GENERIC NAMES INCLUDE:

International Business Machines
U.S. Steel
Park Avenue Cleaners
General Foods
As you can see, sometimes a generic name takes off and works, but in general, it’s an uphill battle–you’ve positioned your company, but your company has no identity.

EXAMPLES OF GOOD NAMES

Faith Popcorn–a memorable name that reminds you that she doesn’t take things too seriously.
National Public Radio–a simple name that immediately connotes weight, seriousness, and the fact that everyone is involved.
Staples–a simple word that brings together a ubiquitous office supply with another word for “essentials.” Once learned, the user never forgets what it stands for.
Head and Shoulders–the name lets you see the benefit of the product–no dandruff on your shoulders.
Apple Computer–simple, friendly, basic, easy to remember.

The final two episodes of the Spike TV show Bar Rescueshow two struggling bar owners who have to confront a tough problem: The names of their establishments aren’t cutting it.

Sometimes, tough as it may be to hear, your business name or even your overall concept is wrong from the start. But sometimes, the only way to save it is to start over — even if it means changing the name of your business. This season’s final episodes, which aired the past two Sundays at 10 p.m., EST, profile two bars in big trouble — The Canyon Inn in Yorba Linda, Calif., and Angry Ham’s Garage in Framingham, Mass. Both have troubled concepts that are holding the business back.

The Canyon Inn sounds like a hotel, but it’s not — it’s just a bar and restaurant. The bar keeps getting calls about how much the rooms cost, but owner Pauly Ambrus isn’t grasping that the name is a problem.
When bar expert Jon Taffer points out the obvious, Ambrus doesn’t want to hear it. As part of a complete makeover of the bar, Taffer changes the name to the Canyon Saloon. Presto! Traffic goes up, and the calls about renting rooms stop.

But Ambrus changes it back a few weeks later. Unsurprisingly, when the Bar Rescue crew check back a few months later, the initial sales bump the show gave the bar has evaporated. The outlook isn’t good.

The other bar starts in even worse shape. A ‘ham’ is a derogatory nickname for someone from Framingham, so the name Angry Ham’s Garage is a slap in the face to the whole town. Also, the bar is in a former garage, and still looks like a garage from the outside, complete with oil-change ads in the windows.

The bar had three original owners — but one is a former hockey player with a DUI on his record and a reputation as a brawler. The bar is full of signs that indicate it’s a rough place, such as “We don’t call 911.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, when Taffer arrives, one of the owners, Tim Hanna, has just sold his car so he can put more money into the failing bar.

At first, Hanna rejects the idea of a name change. Then he seems to approve after Taffer revamps the bar and renames it Octane. The new concept pays tribute to the site’s past as a garage, but makes it clear it is now a bar and grill, with pictures of food and cutlery on the outside of the building.

The TV show ends on an up note, but there’s an epilogue: A few weeks after the TV crew departed, the original name crept back in, becoming Angry Ham’s Octane Bar and Grill. Much of the new decor was removed, too.

I think these entrepreneurs missed a major opportunity to transform their business but only time will tell. I hope they do an update on all the bars visited this season when next season kicks off, so viewers can see what happened after the bars’ 15 minutes of fame ended.

And when will growth begin?

That's really good question.. We think that we must remain calm and not make hasty conclusions and actions. We expect growth at a time when Bitcoin falls so low that large investors start investing in it. And then it will begin a rapid growth. This is only an assumption.

The road to profits is paved with unfair advantages.

Think about that statement. It's the reason why some of the best ideas can flop, and why some of the most average people can be wildly successful. Somewhere along the way there was a competitive advantage.

But it's also one way to pull ahead of your competition -- find and create unfair advantages. Here are four ways you can leave your competitors in the dust.

1. Position strengths to weaknesses.
Even if your competitor has a better product and is willing to sell it at a lower price, you can still win. Every competing company has weak points -- places where your brand can outperform. Things like domestic customer service or extended guarantees on a product can go a long way if done right.

Your job is to find these points and exploit them in your marketing and presentations. Let your prospective customers know why these selling points are important and why it makes your brand a better choice.

2. Stay lean.
This is about maximizing value and minimizing waste. Value refers to features a customer wants to pay for while waste essentially is everything else.

This means you must be in constant contact with your clients and understand why they're buying your product. Ask them how you can enhance it. Any additional features your product offers -- no matter how attractive -- should be dropped if your clients don't want them.

3. Go after large clients.

Larger clients can often result in more business and increased revenues, which means more resources for marketing and hiring new employees. But large clients can also be easier to service than smaller companies. It's a strange phenomenon, but smaller companies sometimes need more hand holding and have more service issues than middle-market companies with established systems.

Additionally, larger clients can give your company credibility when meeting with other potential prospects.

But don't worry if the idea of approaching a larger company scares you. Your smaller size should be an advantage since it allows you to move faster and continually think outside of the box. Also position the idea that a change in vendor will inject a sense of freshness into the project its working on.

4. Know your numbers.
I'm surprised how many entrepreneurs don't know the critical numbers that can either make or break their business. Here are a few of the basics that every startup should be tracking:

  • ACV (Average Customer Value). This refers to how much money the average customer spends with you over a given period of time.
    CPA (cost per acquisition). This is your cost every time you acquire a new client.
    ROI (return on investment) on marketing campaigns.
    Break even. This is the volume of sales you need to cover the cost of making sales.

Every company will have different numbers, but identify them for your business and then commit yourself to tracking and improving them.

Just like football, business is a game of inches where the smallest advancement or advantage can mean the difference between winning and losing.

Have you ever wondered why some brands needs to work extra hard to get a few customers, while the launch of some brands brings immediate customers?

Talking point: The Apple Inc., after a lost PC battle to Microsoft, appreciably went from the production of Apple-1 desktop computer, to the production of modern smartphones. And as they launch new iPhones, their customers are always willing to upgrade to the latest — but the reverse is the case for some brands!

Howbeit that if you can beat your competitors, you’ll have more market shares, more sales and more loyal customers.

Below therefore, are six (6) effective business strategies to beat top competitors in your in your industry.

#1. IDENTIFY THE COMPETITION:
The very first and most important thing in business is to identify the competition. The competition is divided into three categories:

The competitors: This comprises of you and fellow manufacturers of your brand-like products and services in your industry.
The Customers: It is impossible to launch into a business competition without knowing who the customers are and exactly what they want. Identifying your customers would help you to serve them the rightful service they need at a point in time as well as meeting up to their expectations. Thereby drawing they close to your brand.
The Goal: Whether you’ll win or not in any competition depends on your goal. Your goal would help you recognize areas you need to compete in. And as to how quick you win, depends on how quick you are to identify this goal.

#2. EFFECTIVE BRANDING
Effective branding gives you a significant edge in the competitive market. Your kind of branding gives your customers an instant mental picture and a quick definition of who you are and what you have to offer.

A lot of companies are offering a similar kind of product and services and customers are sick of seeing the same thing more often. The only reason you give to already existing customers and new ones to come to you is when your brand marks a difference.

Furthermore, an effective branding, helps you to tone-up your product to the price of your choice.

#3. REALISTIC DISCOUNTS
Another effective business strategy, to outshine fellow competitors in your industry is the offering of realistic discounts.

Giving potential customers discount, does not only improve your customer’s loyalty, it attracts newbies and boosts your company’s reputation. For example, some media houses gives seasonal bulletins/magazines to their customers, also some auto transport companies now offer their customers with very cheap ways to ship their car. Thereby making lives better for their existing customers and enticing new customers to come patronize them.

However, trying to base your competition on cost alone, is a race to the bottom; as customers tend to suspect the geneuity of a product/service if discounts come too often. So watch it!

#4. MAINTAIN YOUR CUSTOMERS LOYALTY

Another effective strategy to gain a competitive edge in your industry is to maintain your customers’ loyalty. Research shows that loyal customers are worth ten times the value of their first purchase.

Also, given that it is six to seven times more expensive to get a new customer than to maintain an already existing one, maintaining customers loyalty is a must for any brand that wants to remain competitive.

In addition, your existing customers would be your competitor’s main target; as if they can succeed in convincing people that have used your brand over to their side, it would be a reference point to get the newbies.

#5. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE:

Some big and mid-sized firms find it difficult to provide a better customer service. They tend to channel the greatest investment of attention and expense into getting new customers to patronize their brand and after the sales have been achieved, they get casual.

With an excellent customer service, you can start beating top competitors in your industry.

Make your customer service agent available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to address any customer’s issue as well as give speedy answers to any after sales question.

#6. IMPROVE YOUR TEAM’S MORALE AND MAKE EMPLOYEES HAPPY:
Do you know that your employees’ creativity, effectivity and collaboratively depends on how happy they are? A recent study by economists at the University of Warwick states that happiness has led to a 12 percent increase in the productivity of workers, while unhappy workers proved more than 10 percent less productive.

Your employees are just one vital component of your business which must be managed effectively if you want to outshine your competitors.

Business is a game which requires a collective effort of all team members to win. So when you make your employees happy, you practically induce them with a positive spirit to face the competition and come out in flying colors.

IN CONCLUSION:

The growth of your business depends on the steps you take to maintain a competitive edge in your industry. “Show me an entrepreneur who says he’s not comfortable with competition and I will show you an entrepreneur whose brand has started diminishing right from the moment he made that statement.”

However, just like sport, the field of business is a contest  where the smallest advantage can determine whether you lose or win. It’s thereby recommended that you use these business strategies more than often to stay on top of the competition in your industry.

If your new business is going to be operating in a competitive marketplace, it’s crucial that you find a way to differentiate your business from all the competitors out there.

In short, why should customers choose your products or services over what’s already available?

If you can’t answer that question, then you need to read on to find out why it’s essential startups and small businesses find a niche, and how you can spot a potentially profitable gap in the market.

WHY FINDING YOUR NICHE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR STARTUPS
Competitive pricing and an excellent level of customer service are both great ways to keep your customers coming back to you, but they might not be enough to draw people in on their own. The most effective way of getting customers through the door in the first place is to spot a gap in the market and fill it.

If you can provide consumers with something they can’t get elsewhere, or offer a significant improvement on what’s already available, your business will soon make a name for itself.

The best way to do this is to focus on a niche and do it so well that you’re the best on the market.

While it may seem like you’re limiting your potential for growth by concentrating on a niche rather than the market as a whole, the contrary is actually true.

Some of the biggest companies in the world have expanded from a niche that they made their own; Apple started off with the Macintosh desktop computer and now dominate the smartphone, laptop, and tablet spaces. Their success was a direct result of the fact they gained a reputation and fierce brand loyalty in one niche that they could easily transfer to other sectors when they chose to expand.

Finding your niche in the marketplace could, therefore, be the most important thing you do in business. But how do you do it?

HOW TO FIND YOUR NICHE
The easiest way is to start a business in a sector you’re already familiar with. If you’re part of the target market you’re looking to sell to, you’re in the perfect position spot a gap in the marketplace. If you do, then you know there’s space for success in that niche.

In the digital age, you have access to potential customers all around the world thanks to the internet. The further you narrow down your niche, the better chance you’ll have of being the very best in the world at it, meaning you could make sales to people in every corner of the globe through an online store or a seller’s page on sites like Amazon and eBay.

According to a recent article from Entrepreneur, niche micro-companies are set to gain more and more of the market share in the future. These small, specialised businesses can often outperform bigger companies who spread their focus over hundreds or even thousands of niches by focusing all of their attention on one.

In your search for business success, you could therefore be better off aiming to be a David rather than a Goliath — while your competition tries to be a jack of all trades, you can quickly rise to the top of your niche by being the master of one.

HOW A SUCCESSFUL NICHE HELPS YOU TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS
As an example, when we set up our clothing store in Glasgow, we focused on urban streetwear. We would never have been able to compete on price or service with international brands like Topman and H&M, so we had to find another way into the men’s clothing market.

After gaining a loyal customer base, doors opened for us to expand into related markets. When we became aware that a lot of our customers were part of the Glasgow street art scene, we experimented with stocking spray paint.

A few years later, Banksy came along and the scene exploded. By this time, we’d already gained a reputation as the place to go in Glasgow for spray paint, so we’ve ended up having great success in that niche as well, both offline and on.

Spray paint saw another rise in popularity when upcycling — taking old, worn out pieces of furniture, sprucing them up, and turning them into something new — became a craze in the interior design world.

Because of the reputation we’d built up over the years, people from this scene came to us when looking for their spray paint. Between these customers and the graffiti artists, we now sell thousands of cans a month.

My advice for any business with an already-established reputation is to consider expanding into a related niche that your target audience is also likely to be interested in.

For example, if you sell artisan coffee online, consider expanding into teas as well. Continue in this manner from one niche to the next, and you’ll soon have a seriously successful business.

LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL HELP YOU FIND NEW NICHES

Make sure to always listen to your customers to learn what other products they’d be interested in buying. For example, if you’re always being asked about products that you don’t already stock, then you should consider entering that market.

A few years ago our customers were always asking if we sold shaving products such as beard oil, shaving kits, and open razors. We did our research and stocked up on some up-and-coming shaving products, and this is now a consistent earner for us in-store and online.

Whether you’re just starting out on your journey as a business owner or have an already-established brand, the best way to stand out from the competition is to find a gap in the market and fill it. Hopefully the experiences and advice I’ve shared here will help you get there as fast as possible.

The most difficult obstacles to get past are the ones we place in front of ourselves.

I’m a people pleaser. It’s hard for me to say “no” to people who ask for something — despite a reluctance inside of me. This has gotten me into trouble more than a few times in life and especially in business. Time is precious and slips by quickly but there is also no lack of things that have to get done in an entrepreneur’s life.

For 12 years, I took life a day at a time. I had a dream but no goals for making it real. I just woke up each day hoping for something more. In 2011, I had had enough and began chasing my dream of starting a lifestyle business. This meant more work on top of a service business that took 60-80 hours of my week. It didn’t take long for me to realize that something had to give. I had to learn how to say no to open up room for the things that were important. Seeing how much time and energy was freed by saying no, I started looking at all the other areas of my life. Here are six things I said no to. Saying no helped me live a much better life and create the kind of business that I love.

1. OTHER PEOPLE’S BAGGAGE.
Life is hard for all of us. Sometimes it’s easier to push your baggage onto someone else, maybe even without you realizing it. If you are trying to make changes in your life and someone reacts a certain way because of their baggage, it’s up to you to say “no”. You don’t need any more drama in your life. For me, this meant ignoring some people on social media and purging negative people from my life. It meant ending the business partnerships that were not in alignment with the direction I was taking my business.

2. SITUATIONS THAT I KNEW WOULD MAKE ME ANGRY.
There are things in life that you know you don’t want to do. For years, I just rolled with it. I went to gatherings and hung out with people who I knew would make me angry. I got on “get-to-know-you” calls with entrepreneurs who were all talk and no action. I entered into collaborations with business owners that weren’t serious. When I said enough and stopped, it felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. It freed my mind and business and helped me focus.

3. A BUSINESS THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATED.
I had a service business in the vendor industry for 12 years and hated it. I felt stuck and believed that someone like me — a high school dropout — couldn’t do better. In 2011, I said “no” more and worked hard for four years to make my dream of being a global lifestyle entrepreneur a reality. I now wake up loving what I get to do for work and traveling the world. Saing no led to happier days.

4. UNHEALTHY HABITS THAT FELT GOOD.
I love food. I said yes to junk food and no to healthier choices. This, as you can imagine, led to major weight gain. At one point, I was 193 pounds overweight. I started saying no to unhealthy choices and started exercising, I’ve lost 121 pounds so far this year. Today, I have more energy, focus and confidence. Life is better. I wake up ready to work on my business. I feel great when I travel for consulting presentations at multinational corporations.

5. TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS.
Purging negative people from my life and saying no to what they tried to project into my life led to relief and happiness. These relationships included romantic relationships, friendships and business connections. It was hard, but I had to say no. Toxic people will keep you off track and make your life unenjoyable. Purge negativity from your life and business whenever it’s possible.

6. HOLDING ONTO THE PAST.
I had a messed up childhood that involved physical and mental abuse. I chose to be homeless at 17 instead of continuing to be beaten with lamp cords. The demons from my past threatened to destroy me as I grew into an adult. I had to let go. I had to say no a lot more. I had to forgive to begin the healing process. I don’t know what you have or are facing. I do know that to heal, you have to let go.

Just because you’re saying no right now doesn’t mean you’ll have to say no forever. Life has seasons, and some are busier than others. The point is to make sure you’re doing the things you want to do and that lead to the kind of life and business you want.

Don’t let other people’s motives make decisions for you. This is your life. This is yourbusiness. You get to decide. Say no to things that don’t make sense for you. Say no to things that don’t feel right to you. Trust your intuition. You know whether or not you want to do something. Don’t be pressured into saying yes.

Private placements raise roughly 3 Trillion USD per annum, think if you can do it with less friction and less middlemen?

We all have seen the dotcom era, the social media era, last year the utility token era and we all know security tokens will be the next big thing...

Mobu aims to develop the infrastructure for both the launch of a compliant security token as well as the secondary market for them globally.

Mobu will obtain equity stake in licensed Stock exchange in South Africa with T+0 settlement and halve the fees of the JSE. Mobu will also be the sole broker for all security tokens.

The Multi trillion USD market remains untouched in the blockchain space.
