Trying to figure out a name for your product, service or brand that is guaranteed to draw and get attention?
Naming new products might be easier than once thought. It turns
out that vowel sounds can make or break success. Researchers
created fictitious brand names that varied only by one vowel sound
(e.g. nillen/nallen). They then varied product categories between
small, fast, sharp objects -- such as knives or convertibles -- and
products that are large, slow, and dull, such as hammers and SUVs.
They asked participants to choose which of the word pair they thought
was a better brand name for the product.
