Why Names Matter in Branding
In today’s competitive marketplace, a strong brand and effective product branding are more than a logo or a tagline—it’s an identity that customers recognize and trust. For industries like wastewater, where reliability and performance are critical, branding plays an even bigger role in shaping perception and building confidence. One often-overlooked element of branding? The product name.
A product name is the first handshake with your customer. Through its role in product branding, it’s the introduction that sets expectations and creates an impression. A well-chosen name can make a product memorable, evoke emotion, and reinforce the values of the brand behind it. In short, names matter.
The Art and Strategy Behind Product Naming
At Crane Pumps & Systems (CP&S), we believe product names should do more than identify—they should inspire confidence, support product branding, and communicate innovation. That’s why we’ve developed a naming strategy that reflects our commitment to engineering excellence and customer trust.
Since 2017, CP&S has embraced a unique approach: short, impactful names that are easy to remember and resonate with our audience. Names like Sithe, Razor, and Blade convey strength and precision, while Expel and Rival suggest performance and reliability. Each name is carefully chosen to align with our brand promise: delivering solutions that set the standard in wastewater innovation.
Why This Matters for Customers
Product names aren’t just words—they’re part of the customer experience and are central to successful product branding. A strong name can:
- Build trust by signaling quality and reliability
- Create emotional connection through meaning and imagery
- Enhance recognition in a crowded marketplace
- Support brand consistency across every touchpoint
For CP&S, naming is a deliberate process that combines creativity, customer insights, and technical understanding. It’s how we ensure every innovation feels like part of a bigger story—a story of progress, resilience, and leadership in wastewater solutions.
Examples of Names That Tell a Story
Our naming strategy isn’t random. It’s rooted in meaning. For example:
- Sithe suggests cutting-edge technology and precision.
