Splotchy Branding
Spring is coming up in splotches here in the States. An
invigorating time of year. A time to clean out the crevices and usher in new things.
Apparently, I'm ushering in rarely used words. Splotches? What is a splotch? Is it really
a word?
Yep. It's a cross between a blotch and a splash.

It's the time of the year when new things pop up
everywhere. Funny words included.
Moving on...
I visited a quaint little restaurant the other day. Funny name it has: Squat n' Gobble.
No kidding.
Would you trust your hunger to a neighborhood Squat n' Gobble?
Curiosity hooked me. I had an unsettling vision of Suma wrestlers squatting down for a
meal, a sea of bellies draped over the floor. Like waves sloshing into shore, their
stomachs gently undulated with each bite of food.
I had no choice but to check it out. If squatting was involved, I could always retreat
with the excuse that I left my wallet on the beach.
Upon entering, I was relieved to see lots of people sitting on four-legged chairs. Normal
people on normal chairs. No squatting. Lots of gobbling though.
There I stood, lured in by a funny name, ready to grab the first available seat and join
in the gobble-fest.
Pretty sneaky, but very effective way to get me in the door. Nice place, too. Comfortable
atmosphere. A splash of color here, a blotch of weaved patterns there.
Splotchy. In a good way.
So what's the lesson here?
Simple. Get a great catchy name for your business and make the inside nice and splotchy -
in a good way. Position yourself with a unique hook. It's branding the splotchy way.
One last query...
Would I have lingered at the Squat n' Gobble if the tradition of this splotchy eatery was
to squat while gobbling?
Probably. It's spring. Time to try new things.Brett Krkosska
