Importance of a compelling product name

A well-crafted product name holds the power to shape customer perception, create lasting brand recall, and significantly enhance the likelihood of a product being noticed amidst the digital noise. It's not merely a label; it's a strategic element that can make or break your online presence.

Guidelines for writing a product name

To craft names that resonate with your audience and drive results, follow these guidelines:

  • Relevance is key: Ensure your product name closely reflects the essence of the product. It should contain only pertinent information, fostering a positive impact on decision-making.
  • Clarity: Keep it concise. Include essential details without overwhelming the customer. Having a clear product name is crucial for quick comprehension.
  • Variable combinations: Recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Tailor your product names with variable combinations based on product type or category.

Product name could consist of:

  • Brand
  • Product name
  • Product type
  • Important parameter

Crafting a <product name> variable

Let's show some examples of how you should craft your product titles using variables in Feed management.

T-shirt example:
<brand> <product type> <product name>, <color>, <size>
BOSS pánské tričko Terry, bílé, XL

Mobile phone example:
<product type> <brand> <product name> <capacity, <color>
Mobile phone Samsung Galaxy S23 512GB, titan gray

Running shoes:
<brand> <product type> for <activity>, <color>, <size>
Nike running shoes for trail running, Blue, 45

Laptop bag:
<brand> <product type> for <laptop size>, <material>
HP Laptop Bag for 15-inch Laptops, Water-Resistant

Milk example:
<brand> <product type> <fat_number> fat
Miil fresh milk 1,5 % fat

There is no single key for all products. Variable combinations could be different for each category or product type.

Adding unique product features

If your products or services have any strong selling point that should be included, do so. 

Here are some examples:

  • Exclusive
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Sustainable
  • Eco-friendly
  • Low-fat
  • Vegan
  • Sugar-free
  • No preservatives
  • Limited edition
  • Made in (Country)
  • Handcrafted
  • Award-winning
  • Clinically tested
  • Dolby surround sound
  • Etc.

Every country is different

Think of it before you copy paste your product name variable when launching a new market. Consider the impact of language translation and cultural nuances. Ensure that your product names resonate positively across diverse audiences, avoiding unintentional mistakes.
