市场营销101:维京人和山羊

A little over a thousand years ago, the Vikings made a huge branding blunder. They named an island they wanted to colonize “Iceland” and then wondered why they couldn’t attract settlers. Turned out that even the hardest Viking didn’t want to live on a big ice cube in the middle of the Atlantic.

认识到自己的营销错误, the Vikings then named an equally inhospitable place “Greenland” with the hope that this brand name would attract settlers. It did, but once these folks realized Greenland was also covered in ice, most left.

也许这就是托马斯·达林顿和K.T. Palmer had in mind when they bought a 400-acre goat farm in the middle of the Arizona desert. 他们没有叫它"山羊城"而是叫它"无忧无虑". With a name like that, surely people would flock to this yet to be developed suburb of Scottsdale.

And they did, but, unlike the Vikings, 他们留下来了，因为“无忧无虑”原来就是这样, 一个过着无忧无虑生活的地方. Apparently, Darlington and Palmer studied Marketing 101 and made sure their brand name actually reflected their product.

Real Estate: A Little Expensive But Well Worth It Even with Their Funny Street Names

It seems like back in the day when Darlington and Palmer were laying out their new development, someone threw a cocktail party and then asked the guests to help generate street names for Carefree.

Ho Hum Road, Lazy Lane, and Easy Street are just a few of the quirky street names you’ll find in this city. One shouldn’t really be surprised given that the town’s name itself is certainly not run-of-the-mil.
