I would like you to come up with a Brand... a catchy name, & catchline/phrase
(eg. Nike - Just Do It!) for a new business I am starting.
We will provide, design & install a synthetic grass for Golf Greens &
complex, that will "hold" a ball from 180 yards (quite unique), we
also offer product for tees, tennis courts, bowling greens, baseball,
etc. We are situated on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia,
we hope to offer Golf hole design & build for peoples 'backyards' from
a small surburban putting green to 5 acres with a multi tee golf hole
with bunkers, etc. We want to relay a sense on 'old style, traditional
links courses', to entrust us to complete your project with integrity
& a sense of pride.

Clarification of Question by linksman-ga on 05 May 2003 19:01 PDT

Thank you all for your comments, I expected to get something a little
more in-depth, but I suppose this goes to tutuzda's point, but also
thanks Mathee, if I am not happy with the comment/answer. It is
important to clarify that this is aimed at golfers who really love
their golf - the tennis/baseball will be secondary, keep trying!
Tutuzda - some with some merit there - but I also need to be able to
not infringe any copyright/trademarks, etc

Request for Question Clarification by stephenbyrne-ga on 08 May 2003 00:14 PDT

Linsman, 

Unlike other researchers I do branding and name generation for a
living, so I probably am unlikely to post an answer here but here's a
couple of points to consider.
 
My real concern here is that should the name and the strapline should
be registrable as a trademark, domain name, business name etc as this
does not seem to have been considered.
 
That said what will be the brand characteristics of the company
marketing this productand will it be marketed by its name and will
that name be the company name? Who are the main competitors? What are
their names? How are they positioned?
 
If I can get some clarity on the above I can probably help on the name
generation but  I don't think it should be posted here for reasons
of confidentiality and intellectual property security.

Request for Question Clarification by j_philipp-ga on 25 May 2003 18:44 PDT

Hello Linksman,

Thank you for the comments below. Do you want me to put my suggestions
from the comment in the answer spot? Just let me know.

Lynx

The Golf Stylists

This type of question has been asked many times and more often than
not researchers who spend time on these requests end up getting
stiffed when the question expires and no decision is made. In spite of
our past experiences with these I'm going to go out on a limb here and
try it one more time just to see if anything positive results from it.

Here are some names and catchy phrases for your consideration:

GREENSCAPE  “Designer sports” or "Sports by design"

HORIZONS  “As far as the eye can see” or simply "There's no end"

TERRA BLADE  “Feel the edge” "Living on the edge" or "Playing on the
edge"

TURFECT  “Always right”

Hope to hear back from you soon.

Regards;
tutuzdad-ga

A name for the synthetic grass that will hold a ball: ENGOLF-IT.

The reason for researchers getting "stiffed" is probably because the
response wasn't satisfactory to the customer.  I think its better that
the question expires rather than having to go through the hassle of
getting a refund on an unsatisfactory answer.

For tutuzdad's suggestions, I'm not 100% sure but I think they violate
some existing trademarks.  Something to watch out for..

If you were an actual researcher you would know that you are incorrect
on two counts. First, being "stiffed" is when a customer intentionally
allows (or makes) a question expire without offering a reason why or
expressing his satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the service. He/she
simply leaves with the suggestions.

Secondly, if you have evidence that any of these names or phrases are
trademarked feel free to present it. Otherwise assume they are not, as
I did.

Linksman,
           As another Aussie good luck with your question but remember
that the last questioner who got masses of info back for nothing and
then closed question as virtually all other such questioners have done
with identical "Find me a business name" question was yet another
Aussie!! (i,e lawn cutting  busines question). Pretty soon the very
good people who make up the bulk of researchers will start getting the
wrong idea about us people down south, namely that we are mean and
cheap. The other commenters are wrong in part; most of the  business
name questions that were  closed had enough info of very high quality
and obviously lots of thought and research put into them that they
would have  done a professional consulannt proud and cost heaps in the
process.
 Thee questioners were just mean-spirited people out to cheat the
system for no cost.

Hello Linksman,

Here are my suggestions:

Names:

- Golfer's Paradise

- Godly Golfing

- Golf Heaven

- Golftool Inc.

- Goldgolf

- Golfshape

- Greengolf

- Golfgreen

- Synteti-Golf

- Golfgrass

- Grassgolf

- Golf Terrashape

- Golfcourse Professional

- Greenhole

- Golfhole


Catchline:

- A golfer's Freedom

- Play with us

- Digging holes since [year]

- It won't get greener

- Best in backyard business

- Don't wait for the grass to grow

- Australia's Number 1 in Golf

- Bringing golf to the people since [year]

- Let the games begin


Hope this helps.

I looked into some of the trademark aspects regarding my suggestions
and found that the domain www.turfect.com is taken and it does indeed
belong to a landscape company, thus ruling that suggestion out.

tutuzdad-ga

johnfrommelbourne is right. This is just a scame to get free answers!

Dear all, researchers,

I am not out to scam (scame - farzin-ga - you need to spell correctly
considering the Question asked) - I take offence & can assure you all
there that I will pay, Aussies are not cheap skates - but they also
know the value of a dollar (johninmelbourne). If you all have a look
at the responses to my Questions, do you really think they have been
answered? Some of these replies I can get of my mates sitting at the
pub with a couple of beers. It was a very serious Question seeking
serious replies - and I will pay - but I am also waiting to see if any
furhter 'enlightened' answers appear - ... or maybe I am expecting too
much for my $50 and the GA system.

At this Stage j_philipp-ga looks good & also presented in the best
format.
this researcher has obviously put some thought into it & we are quite
like 3 of the catchlines provided by this GA researcher

I will pay!
Regards Linksman

Greetings Linksman:

Duffers Green came to my mind immediately but the name has been
registered as a web site.  Then I thought of EcoGreen but that turns
out to be a plant food name. EnviroTurf is also a name being used for
manufactured grass.  EnviroLinks is also being used.  EnviroGreens is
an existing company as well.  EnviroDuff is a bit of a stretch.  lol

Hmmm, this is an interesting mental challenge.  Faux Fairways?  Pi
High Greens?  I'll be thinking about this question for a while.  :)

Best regards,
journalist-ga

That was supposed to be "Pin High Greens" above.

The answer to this kind of question cannot be proven correct.
linksman-ga may just cancel the question when he is satisfied with
suggestions in the comments.

Hi Linksman:

I notice that this question has expired and I was wondering if you
were successful in finding a name.

Best regards,
journalist-ga

possibly "from sport center to your own back yard"
