The Best WiFi Network Names

If you try hard enough, you can find something interesting about every type of product and service and turn that something into a great marketing opportunity.

Take routers, for example. They aren’t inherently interesting. But the way people and businesses name their wifi networks sure are.

Have you ever come across a funny wifi network name? I’ll bet you have. Maybe it’s your local restaurant or your neighbor across the hall. Why hasn’t a router manufacturer come out with a Tumblr to collect the funniest wifi network and hotspot names? Here are a few to get started:
  • Scarpino Portkey (that’s mine — a Harry Potter reference, in case you don’t know)
  • Drop It Like It’s Hotspot
  • Hot Or Not Spot
  • Network-ing It
  • HotSpot for Teacher
  • This is not your hotspot
  • Nelly’s Hotspot in Herrrre
I’ve previously written about how coffee filters can be interesting. Now we’re talking about network routers. You can find the fun in anything if you look hard enough.

Add This To Your To-Do List
Have you given up trying to engage customers with your brand because you think your product can't be differentiated from its competitors? If a router company can create a strategic brand advantage through great marketing, so can your brand. Use this post as inspiration to dust off your brand, put it in the hands of a capable marketer, and let its greatness shine. 

There’s Never a Lack of Ideas.

Only Old People Choose Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Image
Adapt or Die   Those who know me best often hear me proclaim my theory that only old people choose to eat butter pecan ice cream. Oh sure, some younger people enjoy its taste, but nobody under the age of 55 ever goes to the grocery store or Baskin Robins and buys butter pecan ice cream. The flavor is simply outdated. What does this mean for ice cream manufacturers? It means they should keep producing the flavor to satisfy current demand, but they had better create new flavors to adapt to changing tastes. That’s why they’ve created flavors like French silk and cookie dough — flavors that didn’t exist 15 years ago. In short, they adapt or die. Add This To Your To-Do List Have you taken a good look at your products or services lately? Are you still investing heavily in butter pecan ice cream and counting on it being your best seller for years to come? If so, you need to invest in innovation as quickly as possible. It could be as simple as offering new items on your menu, new s...
