    Top Tips For Naming Your Brand in 2021

    My GIFT to YOU: Get the Branding Checklist Here! https://canonwing.com/branding-checklist/ Whenever I share with someone that I'm a professional namer and have been for the past 25+ years, a whole bunch of follow-up questions are almost always inevitable because naming a business is SO important to get right the first time—especially NOW in 2021. And everyone I meet is in a state of urgency to get their brand right and get it up right now. Here are the insider answers to some of the most common questions entrepreneurs are asking me when deciding how to name their brand. Listen now! Top Tips:
    • Naming the emotion you want your brand to infuse into your brand culture and community, and then delivering that emotional experience with consistency is going to become increasingly relevant to the world as we move into 2021.
    • "Find a higher purpose for your brand that is aligned with your Ideal Individuals' values and ethics, and use that higher purpose to guide you in developing every aspect of your brand."
    • People often won't remember exactly what they see, or what they read, but they will remember how a brand makes them feel.
    • "You want your brand's name to open a wide and welcome door that feels like coming home."
    • The business's name connects people with the brand promise to fulfill a deep wish, and this creates a very personal connection between your business and your brand community.

  • The Four Seasons of Staying Power | with Canon Wing (aka Cannon), Branding Expert

    The Four Seasons of Staying Power

    My GIFT to YOU: The Answer Key to The Blink Test!

    https://howtocomeoutofnowhere.com/tbt1/ Brands, like individuals, have a personality and a story of their own. Branding expert and namer Canon Wing outlines the four seasons of building the staying power of a brand. Which are these four seasons and how do you nurture and grow your brand through each of them? Tune in now to know more. Nurture your brand and give it the staying power it needs to become truly beloved. Listen now! Top Tips
    • Creating a brand involves projecting a brand story and building it up and growing it rather like a hometown. A brand is like a living thing that comes into being through a continuous creative process.
    • The first season of a brand is the Seeding Season where one articulates the purpose and intent of a brand. Like a seedling, one has to decide where, how, and when to initiate a brand, what makes it unique, and what purpose it will fulfill for its community.
    • The second season of a brand is the Sprouting Season which is when the focus shifts to growth and action. This is the time to weed out redundant processes, negative environments, and processes.
    • The third season is the Savoring Season when one enjoys the fruits of the success of a brand and shares the celebration with brand loyalists. Every culture has a harvest festival, akin to this season of a brand.
    • The fourth season is the Sleeping Season when one pauses, appreciates a job well done, and gives thanks. This is when you rest, rejuvenate and restore.

  • Branding to The Mindset | with Canon Wing (aka Cannon), Branding Expert

    Branding to The Mindset

    Here's Your ANSWER KEY for PASSING THE BLINK TEST https://howtocomeoutofnowhere.com/tbt1/ Did you ever wonder why some people buy hundreds of Nike shoes – and only Nike shoes? Is this logical buying? No, it's emotional buying, as namer and branding expert Canon Wing explains. Your brand needs to understand customer mindsets and carefully curate brand messaging to appeal to your ideal individuals. Check out this episode to find out how you can stop chasing customers and start attracting them to the presence of your brand. Top Tips
    • Neuroscientists have found that all of our purchases are emotional. This is why brands have to find ways to appeal to the emotions of their ideal audience.
    • Why do people buy 300 pairs of Nike sneakers or the same Under Armour shirt again and again? This is because the brand messaging speaks to the mindset of their customers.
    • Brands such as MasterCard and Visa both appeal to certain emotions among their users. They successfully transform their ideal audiences into brand loyalists who may even be happy to advertise on behalf of the brand.
    • A cleverly designed brand strategy will make customers grateful and loyal to a brand that prioritizes serving them vis-à-vis merely trying to sell a product to more and more people.
    • Brands have to understand the mindset and emotional state of their customers. They have to create brand messaging that is in consonance with this to make their ideal audience gravitate towards them.

    • "In an entrepreneur's world, a failed concept just provides more information to be integrated into your strategy for enhancing and refining your vision."
