- cmars232 18y agoUndrin sounds like a pharmaceutical product. Undrin helps you regain control of your bladder. Side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea.
- jamesbritt 18y agoDo not taunt Undrln.
- karjaluoto 18y agoIndeed. The undrln doesn't like that. ;-)
- karjaluoto 18y agoUndrin does help you regain control of your bladder. Undrln has more to do with virility. (Totally different thing.)
- karjaluoto 18y agoI disagree. The name doesn't really matter (and I'm a brand guy). All that matters is that people find the content useful. If they don't, we're sunk. That being said, it was a quick build. If it turns out to be a bust, I can live with that. :-)
- jamiequint 18y agoReally? Have you read Positioning (Ries and Trout). Certainly branding is more than a name, but for marketing you want something that is at least easily transferable by word of mouth, no?
- karjaluoto 18y agoYup, I've read lots of their stuff (particularly Ries). Our firm has named a number of companies. In my experience, these are tough projects, as it's difficult to determine which is objective/subjective feedback. Some of our most successful names were ones that clients hated initially, but later found very usable. Although some are put-off by names that feel different at the outset, once they are spoken a few times these ones often become more memorable. I like undrln because it’s short, and there’s a bit of a tongue-in-cheek nod to the tools we use every day in it.
