New Grower What's in a name

[stonemaster]

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A seed by any name would not sell as sweet. I would like to start a discussen about the importance of names in this new market of autos, or photos for that matter. As breeders and growers we want to know the genectic history, the genotype, of these seeds, so it has become common to try to include both parents in a cute combination. Then you have breeders who understand marketing better and you hear of say AK47. It says nothing about genetics but instead raises the image of something deadly powerfull.I know that when I first started ordering seeds last year it was on the top of my list. Now having smoked it, I don't care for it.I bought the hype and not the genects. As I surfed the long list of autos, I never knew stich was a great breeder, so his name meant nothing to me. If I were starting again I would have made his work my top choices. I therefor sent many hundreds of dollars overseas to breeders who had the best marteting skills. There is a lesson to be learned here, A successfull breeder MUST also have a marketing plan.Name reconition is the name of the game. I believe in running trials of ideas to find value in them or not. So, here is what I have began. I intend to gain nation wide name reconition for 4 of my new strains, while the actual seeds are still ripening on the vine. There are market reports being sent to high time magizine as we speek. . This is step one. Step two involves televison exposure of these strains. All within 4 months of now. So there is the experiment,nationwide name brand reconition whithin 4 months! What do you think? I have told you step one, can anyone guess step two? How could I get television exposure simply by the names I choose. A seed by anyother name does not sale as sweet.

stable and decent price with a rad name allways gets me xD

alot of countrys dont have tv exposure for MJ related stuff and i dont think hightimes is that big for autos
id say the web is key like testers and smoke reports are very important

what strains u got going can u hare your names see if id buy it ?

helen keller -physcicly overpowering
ann franks- strong need to stay home
amelia earhart - a soaring sative high
chelsey hanler- can't stop laughing
I am naming by the effect, not the genects
The names themselves are spreading like crazy in my test area and are sought after. Of course the smoke is TOP of the line. Many people have thought it was laced with something.

Let me see if I can explain why these names have already traveled far beyond the people who have tried it.Let's imagine 2 different groups trying something new to them. Let's say one is a popular strain, o.g. kush and the other is helen keller. Both are great and receive a good review. While with the o.g. you notice the great taste and buzz so you tell your freinds it is a great strain. Right so far? But with the helen there is a expectincy of lose of some kind of bodily control and much talk about what it could be. There is a strong effect on mussel control the first time you try it. I had one eye go completly out of focus for 5 minutes. Others told me about small mussel tremers, and problems focusing. So now what was just trying a new strain has become a funny story and an aventure and they tell all their freinds. It is too funny not to tell, right? Who then say, where can I find it? So now anyone in this every increasing group when hearing about some good smoke from others will say,That sounds great but I am waiting for the helen keller! So two different strains received vastly different name reconition simply by understanding public relations.

Griever, you are right about high times mention not being of much value. Other than one small thing. This is just a small step but will lead to serios airtime. Can you guess how? You have all the information already to predict the next step, right? Need another hint? And remember I said
nationwide although it may go further.Here is a hint. At every telivision and radio station there is a worker whose job it is to find stories they can use. He ,or she, is your next hurdell to jump. peice of cake! I would love to here some guesses.

Call it Congressional Clusterfuck - you'll get plenty of hits in the next 4 months, I'd wager.

I like it! It sticks in your mind. How about for this cross I just tried, It is a seditive, not a narcotic. It will put you to sleep quickly. I do not like it! We could call it genghis cron. It just kills you.

Here ya go my friend some names to try out. If I might add I would be willing to test some if your ever in need of a tester

1)StoneMaster's ==Deadeye Then the stories of each in its discription
2)StoneMaster's == House Arrest
3)StoneMaster's == Freeflying or (Base jumper)
4)StoneMaster's ==Laugh In or ( aka ROTF LMAO )

Another thing to consider is very high grade photos of each strain (a picture will sell a thousand +++ seeds )

Have testing done for THC and CBD real testing

Ok.So you could not guess. It is to late now cause I just got an e-mail from the producer of Chelsea Handler TV show! They want to do a segment called Name That Strain featuring my work! Can you beleive it! I am so excited I can not sit still! So what is in a name? Would a seed of any other name sell as sweet?Are you starting to see how I will create a huge interest in my seeds befor they are even off the vine, which will translate into big sales. You can see how I take a different approuch to thiings. 95% of the people who smoke mj could care less for the genectics, only the effect is imporant. Would you buy a bag from a great strain by name or a better smoke with an unknown name. Of course the better the public relations the better the sales. I thought up this campain in jan. of last year and so far I am right on scheldual with the end result being $2millon in seed sales within 3 years. So can anyone see the next step. Come on people, think outside the box.
