edited October 2008 in The Clubhouse
Well a customer sent me another order. He has been slowly replacing all his cables with mine(not a Polkie), and sent me this.
....At any rate, I was thinking about your cables and a silly name for them and some sort of marketing idea. I thought of vampires because you need a silver bullet or a wooden stake. I was thinking calling your silver cables Silver Stakes as they kill the interconnects which are sucking the life out of your system. Just a passing thought on a bike trip but feel free to use it if you like.
Well I realized I don't really have a name for them yet. I'd like to have you guys help me out with this. I want to get some ideas going here. I feel they have been out long enough for me to feel very good about marketing them. As always I will continue hooking Polkies up at a low price, but I need to get these out in the market place.
Thanks
Ben

    How about ZigZ(Ag) cables!
    Ag is the atomic symbol for silver in case anyone didn't know.

    What's wrong with BWaudio Silver Interconnects anyways? Just add the slogan.
    "We don't need fancy names or marketing gimmicks, the quality of our product speaks for itself."

    Stay away from gimmicky names or names that have been used before or names that are close to what already exists in the market.

    Personally, I've always known your stuff as "BWAudio." It's unique. Your product is not going to sell more with a sensational name. It will sell more by word of mouth and exceptional quality and support.

    The only major issue I see with retaining BWAudio as your name is that Bowers and Wilkins might get word of you (if you become worth their time, meaning good sales) and well send you a nasty letter threatening infringement.

    How about "Ben's Zen" or "BW One" or "Electron Express" or "Silver Surfer" or "Good Effin' Cables."


    Here's your slogan, "We're the Ben's of cables at a Volkswagon price."

    You're also gonna need a logo.
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    "God grooves with tubes."

    BrainSlayerz.

    Although in the interest of truth in advertising, that is also the net-nym of a famous German programmer who has modded the linksys router firmware into a vunderbar-monster. But I'd bet he'd dig Ben naming his child after him (Brainslayer).

    Ftm, Vunderbar-stücke.

    You are stepping on my toes here. I had a black max that was an excellent outboard. It had tons of power, and never gave me any motor trouble. The foot... well... It may have had something to do with the rocks I hit:eek: New England can be tough!
