“The simplest way to corner a distinct segment is always to produce a distinct segment. As well as the way that is best to generate a niche is to … coin your own word.” – Sam Horn
Experienced a few early entries when it comes to 2012 POP! Hall of Fame … and thought I’d share them to kick-start your reasoning in what newly-coined NURDS (New Words) you’d prefer to submit with this year’s contest.
Past champions have actually included:
* Diabesity: Dr. Francine Kaufman’s term for the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes this is certainly set off by obesity.
* Snuba: It’s half snorkel and half scuba … also it’s a brand new multi-million dollar industry.

* Revenew: Just met the creator of the start-up in NYC at the WOIS Summit. You’ve heard of Spell Check? This might be a fantastic exemplory instance of a POP! strategy called Spell Chuck. Chuck the spelling that is normal of word and show up with your personal. Brilliant.
*Tiecoon: This store in NYC’s Penn facility – which sells neckties to Wall Street financiers – stopped me personally in my own songs and inspired me to snap a photograph. That is the idea. If it’d been known as Jack’s ties, I would personally have walked on by and never even noticed it. Does your shop title have actually

Please comprehend … NURDS aren’t petty; they’re lucrative.
