    Opinion Poll: Would this sign look good on our buildings?

    We plan on opening up many clinics and are trying to brand our name as well as make it easy to recognize.

    By using our domain name as our company name on our buildings, it would offer several things:

    1. Direct traffic to our website where we can inform potential clients

    2. Appeal to potential clients by appearing to be a National Brand

    3. Recognizable Brand that is Simple and Easy

    4. Use the power of the popular term "Low Testosterone " to relate our business objective


    Opinions and Thoughts?

    Do you have other options for the logo? The name says it all but the logo is not getting my attention. Too plain.

    We have not designed a logo yet. Just wondering about the name. That was done by ME and not a graphic designer, so you have to work with me a little! lol!

    Sorry, when you said it was for your sign I assumed it was a finished design.

    Let me know if you need some design done. You may have people for that already, but if not...

    LOL! Lord no its not the finished I was just curious about the "Idea" of the company name/ domain name on the sign.

    this way we can add whatever city we are in to the sign and the sign will be self explanatory.

    I like the name for all the reasons mentioned but a thought just came to mind. Do you think that there's an embarrassment factor for men to be walking into the building? Know what I mean? I was just picturing myself walking in under a sign saying Low Testosterone . Maybe at that point the clients won't care but as stated, it crossed my fuzzy mind and actually made it out. Accidents happen.

    Great point. May be very embarrassing for some. Something more subtle may work

    The majority of people will only be in for a visit. I can appreciate your feedback though. It is good to see the thoughts of others because I for one would NOT have a single thought about walking a Low T center. I guess in my eyes, low hormones are not like having a small dick and having it publicized on the web or having herpes and walking into a herpes treatment center. Or how about a guy who is seen walking into a "Planned Parent Hood?" HAHAHA!!! I wonder what that guy is doing in there? I am not speaking from experience! I just see it as more of a life improvement choice and would not be shy about it.

    Also, many people that I personally talk to often come right out and say "I am on TRT" and I it has changed my life.

    I guess we need to outweigh the good it will do by having the name vs. the bad.

    I just had a conversation with a buddy of mine and he said he saw an ad in a local magazine about a new clinic that opened up. I ask him, "What was the name of the clinic so we can call and snoop around?" He said, "I don't remember."

    How many people do you guess would forget the name of our clinic?

    I personally would think that most would connect the buzz phrase "low testosterone " with a ".com" immediately. I am not preaching by any means and I am not trying to change minds, so please continue to discuss! I just wanted to give my own personal view on it, but my view is just ONE and I am wrong on a LOT of issues! lol

    Sounds good and makes sense. I just had that epiphany. Funny you mention the others. I was thinking Herpes.com or ED.com but they could only do business in the middle of the night or clients would be wearing disguises!

    I think that all of the advertising that is being done and all of the news on low testosterone has made it "hip" or common among males.

    I don't think it will make a huge difference either way, at least as far as the sign on the building(s) goes.

    Personally, I think having that name advertised in neon lights might end up drawing in all the riff-raff and zero qualified typed, figuring they will get some quick testosterone and be on their way. Of course they won't, but it might get cumbersome with having someone constantly explaining to people how the program works, and that your clinic isn't like a tanning parlor.

    IMO, I'd consider using the lowtestosterone.com idea on all your advertising placements, but the actual clinic location(s) might consider just having a sign that says "Wellness Clinic" on it. Either way, consider putting a special parking space at the clinic with a sign that says, "Small Dick & Herpes Parking Only." It would be funny to see if anybody would actually park in it, even when the lot is full!

    You know... using a name like LowTestosterone.com as a company name would also make it REAL easy to franchise these quickly all over the country. Like my example, LowTestosterone.com followed by the city and state could be a really simplistic way to grow these. There are a LOT of doctors out there that are looking to expand their practices.

    The parking spot will be waiting you on V! haha

    I like it but i would drop the the word "Low" a bit, or at least cant it to the left so it appears to be lower than the word "Testosterone " in the final design.

    LMAO.... I for one don't care who knows about me being onTRT, in fact my whole family knows, I tell anyone who complain about feeling old, not all react positively but I don't give a shit anyway. But i see Kel's point also however I don't think it'll be a big issue. LOL www.ED.com now that I won't share with anyone. LOL.

    I thought there would be a limo ride included with this package? Come on B, get with the program here!

    Ha, that would be my luck, a limo shows up at the airport with huge letters front to rear, "Lowtestosterone.com Patient On Board".

    I think it's wise to have that as ONE of your domain names but in terms of building a brand for your clinic's, i would suggest putting a more positive spin on it.

    I agree with Aus and others that we are bombarded with "Low T" on TV night and day. Between Low T and ED commercials that message has lost its effectiveness and again IMO, is not effective.

    With that said, I'll contribute my $.02 if I can think of anything cool for you guys.

    Cheers.

    my initial reaction is that the name "lowtestosterone.com" is kind of negative. you are right that everyone would know what the clinic/business relates to, (at least generally) and that may draw some business that could offset losing some from those who are too "embarrassed" to come in.

    another thought...are you trying to do too much with the name of the clinic, ie drive internet traffic in addition to identifying the clinic. in other words, you have the clinic name, "Virile Studly Man's Health Center" or something, but use additional marketing to drive the internet traffic.

    just a little input. you did ask for feedback.

    Well.. would have no issue with using that actually, but i think it TOO bodybuilderish?!! Will it scare the older men off who want nothing to do with getting muscular or even care how they look. I think a LOT of people (older clients) will care more about libido, energy levels, and mood rather than a muscular body. THE people on THIS website are different but we have to keep a much broader image.
