| This assignment provides an excellent
example of combining different naming methods to create something
truly original. The client wanted a name that would not only stand
out, but also convey a sense of authenticity and genuineness. The
coffees and teas were to be organic, artisan teas custom made by specially
trained baristas right on site. Capturing the spirit of this new venture
was paramount.
The final name? Joe Rico's Coffee & Tea
Here's why this name works...
• It uses a double entendre (Joe = coffee as well as the name
of a person)
• It uses a foreign word with meaning (Rico = "rich"
in Spanish)
• Combining the two meanings gives you "rich coffee".
A thus a story begins to brew...
• It rhymes (Joe Rico)
• It's not just a name, it's also a personality, upon which
the company can build a character. (Much like Marco Polo or Indiana
Jones).
It's almost like playing Scrabble, when you make a move that spells
several words- the points just keep adding up. By giving customers
an actual name, a rhyming name, a name that means something to Spanish
speakers, and a name that has a double meaning, it anchors that
name in various parts of the brain. In other words, the name becomes
"sticky" and memorable. Rather than a generic Coffee World,
you have the adventurous taste experience known as Joe Rico's.
This name then became the building block of the company. From it
sprang the menu design, old world wallpaper, exotic decor from around
the globe and even specialty drink names like "Rico Blanco",
their white chocolate latte. In future marketing, "Joe"
will be announcing new drinks he "discovered" on his latest
journeys and adventures. Joe will also likely show up in newsletters
and emails. It's a name that will become a brand and ultimately
a corporate culture. Cool beans.
