Professional international multilingual brand checking services
Marketing a new product or service is hard enough at the best of times. Choosing a name can take months for your brand and a whole lot of budget. Just imagine what would happen if after all that work, you found that you couldn’t market your product internationally because it had all kinds of issues.
Here are just a few of the possible pitfalls:
- The name’s already in use
- Your chosen brand name has an offensive meaning in your target country
- The colours you have chosen are unlucky in the county of your launch
- The brand name you’ve picked doesn’t translate well and the meaning is changed
- Your product is culturally offensive
Lots of really big companies have already made these mistakes. The list is long – Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Fiat, Schweppes, Kentucky Fried Chicken.
All the hassle with marketing, PR, merchandising and production could have been saved if only they’d used our “International Brand Checking Service”.
International Brand Checking Service
The service is simple. We give ten in-country linguists a list of 20 questions about your brand or name, you can either supply them yourself or we have a standard set of questions you can use. Our multilingual staff go though the list and research the answers for you. All our brand checkers live in country so have an in-depth knowledge of the country and culture.
We’ll send all the completed questionnaires back to you to help you make your decision. If you then need further questions, we can help you with that too.
Each brand check cost only £600, $1200 or 885 Euros. That includes ten linguists answering 20 questions for one language.
