Strategic Naming and Offer Refresh
Key Economic Insight
Effective naming is crucial for an offer's success, drawing on the 'implicit-egotism effect' where people are attracted to what resonates with them. A well-named offer ensures it stands out and compels ideal prospects to act, even if the underlying service is identical to a less appealingly named alternative, like comparing a 'Free Six-Week Stress Release Challenge' to a 'Float Tank Center Session'. This strategic naming acts as a 'wrapper' that refreshes the perceived value of an offer without altering the core services or products provided, enabling sustained lead generation.
Offers naturally experience fatigue over time, particularly in local markets where reaching a full population is more cost-effective (e.g., reaching 1000 people for approximately $20, meaning 200000 people can be reached for $10000). While initial mentions may go unnoticed, prolonged use over years, rather than months, necessitates a refresh. The process of renaming allows for continuous engagement, leveraging a formula that typically combines three to five key components for optimal brevity and specificity. Testing various names is essential to identify the most impactful options for market response.
Key naming components include creating a 'Magnetic Reason Why' (e.g., 'Free', '88% off', 'Spring', 'Grand Opening'), announcing the 'Avatar' (e.g., 'Bee Cave Dentists', 'Rolling Hills Moms'), articulating a clear 'Goal' (e.g., 'Pain Free', 'Celebrity Smile', 'Double Your Profit'), indicating a 'Time Interval' (e.g., '4 Hour', '21 Day', '6 Week', with caution for quantifiable claims), and using a 'Container Word' to signify a bundled system (e.g., 'Challenge', 'Blueprint', 'Bootcamp', 'System'). Optional enhancements like rhyming (e.g., 'Six-Pack Fast Track') or alliteration (e.g., 'Make Money Masterclass') can further improve memorability and impact. Applying this naming strategy even to sub-items and bonuses automatically elevates their perceived value.
