How Customers Judge Your Name

First impression data and what your name signals to buyers.

Trademark Lens Team

Your name is your first impression and you have 7 seconds. Generic names signal cheap service and lose 68% of premium buyers before they see your pricing.

7-Second Judgment

Customers decide if you're credible within 7 seconds of seeing your name.

Generic = Cheap

"Best Plumbing Solutions" signals low-budget, untrustworthy. Customers assume lowest price, worst service.

Complex = Expensive

Difficult-to-pronounce names signal luxury/expertise. Works for consultancies, not for plumbers.

Playful = Young

Punny names (Flowr, Brewdog) attract younger demos. Repel corporate buyers.

Professional = Boring (But Safe)

"Smith & Associates" won't excite anyone. Won't scare them away either.
