A Chinese restaurant with real class
Sweeping across the nation is a new chain of high class Chinese restaurants called P.F. Chang’s. Imagine if they had just been called Chang’s. Wouldn’t they have sounded very common? Wouldn’t it have been very difficult to own, trademark and protect that name?
On the other hand, what a difference a few initials make! Suddenly a touch of class is added.. even if you haven’t tried one of their restaurants so far. Pure initials are a disaster from a marketing point of view for most new entities unless they are backed up with megabucks marketing, but initials plus a common word really help free up some unique name space and customer mind share.
So how do you pick which initials to use? Peter Fleming (of the famous Fleming Steakhouses), simply used his own. And so there really is no Mr. P.F. Chang to greet you ever… but don’t tell everyone. Simply take them out for a new class of Chinese American food.
