Business Naming: the Poet’s Role
Company names that rhyme are memorable and pleasurable.
So are corporate names built upon alliteration.
Not only will rhyming or alliteration help make your name more memorable, these techniques add a cadence, a lilt, that makes these names pleasurable to say.
So use alliteration (Signature Strategies, Peak Paths) or rhyming (Compliance Alliance, Rare Care) when you are naming a business that relies on referrals. If people like to “say” a name, they’ll remember it and feel good about passing it on. That’s the rhyme and reason these techniques work so well.
You don’t have to be a Shakespeare to use either of these devises. And usually one or two will just pop up as you play with words appropriate to the business.
Then just look for more
