gis-mo™ puck: The Official Thread. (My Class Assignment)

[Pyle_PMG]

Ok, for Marketing Class we are doing a project where we create a marketing plan. In this plan we either market a new product or an improved product, though we don't have to make a product.

Anyway, for my assignment I am 'marketing' a hockey puck with a sensor inside, which would feature a transmitter that would send a signal to a receiving device (Computer, phone etc.) indicating that a goal was scored. This would increase efficiency in hockey games such as those in the NHL because the need for reviewing goals would be eliminated by this device.

So, I have one problem. What to name it.

Now that's where the GTP community comes in, if you were to buy a hockey puck with a sensor, what would you want it to be named?

*Those who question if this is actually not an assignment should read the attached pdf file.

Best I could come up with was Pucky, or Pensor Puck/Suck

Named the gis-mo puck™

Part 2 in progress!!!

Part 2!

For part 2, I need 25 respondents for a survey, in order to get this done, I need your help.

Please help me with this survey, and post in this thread when you have completed it. The 25th respondent will receive a 10 dollar Itunes gift card, courtesy of me.

EDIT: No GTP Winner today.

Introducing the GoalTracker 9000: Puck Edition!!!

"In an age when seeing isn't believing, the GoalTracker 9000 comes to save the day. With it's advanced sensor arrays that somehow survive being repeatedly flung at a wall at 90 mph, the GT9000 ensures hockey players the satisfaction of knowing every goal will count. GT9000: for when sending the puck into the net just isn't enough....................









................for the refs."

 

[Schwartz]

What to call it? "The Clusterpuck" of course!

 

[Lizard]

Puck off.

 

[Azure Flare]

Puck the pucking puckers.

In all seriousness, call it the "Goal Indicating Sensor" or "Goal Indication System." Either way, you can simply call it the "GIS." Since the device is yet to be invented, a simple, generic, and informative name is beneficial in getting the product known and off the ground. (Using the same principle as the insanely popular "GPS" which is now known as "SatNav"). The name "GIS" is also good because it sounds techy. In addition, it is easy for broadcasters to say. For example...

Broadcaster 1: I think that went in!
Broadcaster 2: I believe it did! The GIS went off but neither the referee nor the goal judge indicated that the puck went over the line!
Broadcaster 1: And yes, they are going to call it a goal! Kings lead 2-1!

With such a simple name you're going to advertise it as "Goal Indication System by SporTechnologies - Revolutionizing the way the game is played"

I would go about creating a visual graphic right now. But since it's your project, I'll have to refrain.

(Using the same principle as the insanely popular "GPS" which is now known as "SatNav")

Where I'm from and everywhere I've been in the US, no one I've come across has ever said "SatNav"; I have only ever heard "GPS" or just "Garmin"/"Tom Tom"/whatever brand of GPS it is. So I don't think GPS is universally known as SatNav, it's just one way of describing it some places (e.g. the UK) use.

Anyway back on topic, your point is a good one, I could see GIS becoming commonplace hockey nomenclature.👍

 

[dhandeh]

Smart Puck.

In all serious I agree with the above from a few posts ago with the "GIS" thing.

 

[hazellnut134]

The Mother Pucker. 👍

 

[Skython]

There are letters in a name. Eh?... Eh?... Eh?... EH?... Oh okay.

Now, seriously... I think Hazellnut's post has the best one, "The Mother Pucker!"

 

[Solid Lifters]

Go Puck Yourself
Pucker Up

 

[Driving Park]

Will all of you shut the puck up already and post a serious response?

 

[Lizard]

Will all of you shut the puck up already and post a serious response?

Puck off.

Ok ok.

Seriously the simple name that was mentioned I think is your best bet GIS.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

What about calling it GISmo?

 

[W3H5]

Vandenal
What's In A Name?

Juliet
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

Case closed.

 

[opelgt1969]

What about calling it GISmo?

Already taken with different spelling:

I have one of these.

 

[photonrider]

None of you puckers know what the puck he's talking about.

It's Puk-Intel - the intelligent puck.
