    /24-7PressRelease/ - NAPERVILLE, IL, July 14, 2008 — A new book titled Branding Best Practices: A Guide to Effective Business and Product Naming was recently published. The book is a comprehensive guide that details how to develop great business names, product names, taglines and domain names.

Naming trade secrets are divulged with a proprietary name development process used for billion dollar brands and start-ups alike. Case studies provide real, behind-the-scenes naming projects with strategy and rationale. Backgrounds of top brand names and the fastest growing brands are detailed, along with naming mistakes. A comprehensive list of naming resources including books and websites is shared.

"Effective naming is becoming more important than ever due to the saturation of brand names, the high failure rate of new products, and the growing understanding that a breakthrough name can improve marketing efficiency and reduce future marketing investment," states author Neil Brown.
