I am going out on a big, big limb here with this answer and probably
going against everything GA stands for as well as what you might be
wanting from us, but I think it is very worthwhile to do so.
I have no idea what your current company name is. But since you have
already invested 15 years building the reputation for excellence you
claim to have, there is no reason the name you are now using can’t
become the powerful, meaningful and memorable name you want it to be.
With the directorate of your company having the reputation it does,
the power of your current name, whatever it may be, is already
established. It is already meaningful and memorable. You would not
be in the position you are if it weren’t and you would not have the
trust and respect you do.
A glitzy sounding name is not going to make your business. Only you
and your directors can do that.
Don’t throw away a decade and a half of investment by muddying the
waters with a new name, regardless of how classy it may sound. You
already have name identification to go along with your reputation.
Call it “brand” recognition if you want to.
I can understand if you want to change a logo. I can understand if
you were a new business just getting off the ground.
But you are not a new business. You are one that is already flying.
Don’t ground that flight by having to re-educate your prospective
clientel to a new name.
Other companies have done this in the past. And while they were doing
well with the name they had, too often they have vanished from sight
after a name change. To many consumers, a name change does no more
than send up a red flag that something might, just might, be wrong.
And even if it isn’t, it can often be difficult to change popular
perceptions.
So, my answer to your question is keep the name you have, regardless
of how unclassy or miserable it may sound to your own ears or to the
ears of your directors.
To the clients which praise you, and to the potential clients they may
recommend because of your good service, your current name already has
power, it is already meaningful and it is already memorable.
It can be summed up in a very old adage: “If it ain’t broke, don’t
fix it.”
