Why investing in your China’s brand name ?
Your market entry in China encounters many challenges. When it comes to setting up the foundation of your branding strategy in China, to find the best company name in Chinese language is a tough but crucial one. Many western firms will argue that their original identity match perfectly their value and is “good enough” for the Chinese market. Others will take the name generation decision lightly and will ask a local staff or relatives to provide with a name. Unfortunately, this decision would go against any basic marketing rule of brand localization and culture adaptation. A good brand naming is the most relevant way to make your impact for your first step in China and develop appeal toward Chinese consumers of any segment.
A good Chinese company name aims to be your brand’s values, vision and history embodiment. It will transfer your brand equity into the Chinese market and add into it a China-roots dimension into it.
Why working with Sinonym ?
Chinese languages poses a very specific challenges when it comes to choosing your company name in China. Chinese languages combine thousands of characters and a multitude of significance and double-meanings. Moreover, hundred of dialects can be found in Mainland only and each of them can have different meaning for the same spoken words or different pronunciations of the same written words. A brand name that sounds and looks good in one dialect can actually evoke very negative values, be laughable or even offensive in another.
Having a name evoking the wrong values or creating bad buzz among the highly viral Chinese market will lead your branding effort into a dead-end.
Finding the good brand name in China should be rationalized and processed. Combining data-collection methods such as benchmarking, consumer focus groups, market survey, insiders interviews, multi-team workshops and linguistic analysis, the naming process of Sinonym is actually down to a science to figure out the best Chinese name for your brand.
