Popis: Abstract This note looks at the main strategies used by marketers and manufacturers to name products. It gives an overview of these strategies, starting with the history of brand-naming and ending up with the current practice of using Internet-style strategies for naming products. The idea in brand-naming is to create a “code” of latent meanings for the product that the consumer can grasp either consciously or unconsciously.
