Honest-To-God Product Names
I thought this was funny and interesting at the same time. I’m really in two minds though whether this honest-to-God product name will be a sales success:
The Brown Corporation Homepage – The Home of the Amazing Shit Box
It’s a risky marketing strategy for sure. It does look like an interesting product, and certainly a very honest marketing approach. I wonder what Paul Dervan would think of this?
The real question to ask is what type of search you were performing to find this product?

This is gross!:) On a serious note, it seems they are aiming more at developing brand awareness. Surely unique brand…

Nice find. In a similar vein, a while back I came across Spam’s graishly branded meat product cousin, FUD:

I wonder what folks in the world of search chomp on that?

I had also found this product when crawling through CSS Galleries and thought exactly the same thing! I think it will work, they are definitely trying to develop brand awareness and they’re going for the risky route.
