      <title>"Branding" by smeade</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are going through a branding change.  To better reflect the benefits of the Synap Software lead management solution, it has been re-branded from LeadsOnTrack to LeadsOnRails.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;LeadsOnRails more clearly paints the picture of rail tracks, where LeadsOnTrack could mean any kind of tracks, or just &amp;#8220;keeping track&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Tracks remain an integral part of the product (LeadsOnRails users still use &amp;#8220;tracks&amp;#8221; to put a lead on a campaign path) yet not in the sense of &amp;#8220;keeping track&amp;#8221;.  The new name helps avoid a message of keeping track of leads and contacts and reinforces the benefits of moving those leads forward.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;With the &lt;strong&gt;LeadsOnRails&lt;/strong&gt; name we are building marketing collateral (websites, one-pagers, brochures, etc.) around the product benefits that are also associated with railways:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fast&lt;/strong&gt;,
&lt;strong&gt;Reliable&lt;/strong&gt;, 
&lt;strong&gt;Powerful&lt;/strong&gt; and 
&lt;strong&gt;On Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;p.s. My friend Mark Cohen warns in his usual humourous way that an analogy with railways may not be the most promising, considering &lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2007/01/24/chief_aims_to_boost_amtraks_image/"&gt;Amtrak&amp;#8217;s image&lt;/a&gt;.    So, hopefully readers and users are thinking about freight trains, not passenger trains.  (He also got a laugh out of the fact that the very next article after &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not you&amp;#8230;&amp;#8221; starts with the word &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8221; &amp;#8211; if nothing else &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt;_&lt;/em&gt; can provide a small dose of semi-regular entertainment).&lt;/p&gt;
