Chinese Product Name Creation for Nespresso’s New Product Line Vertuo

Labbrand, a leading branding agency, undertook the task of product naming for Nespresso’s latest product line, Vertuo, in China. The result was the Chinese verbal identity “Fu Xuan” [馥旋] for Vertuo, emphasizing Nespresso’s commitment to the Chinese market and offering coffee enthusiasts a high-quality coffee experience in larger cups at home. Labbrand’s Verbal Strategy team conducted meticulous evaluations and proposed a portfolio of Chinese names, ultimately selecting “Fu Xuan” to encapsulate the product’s essence and reflect Nespresso’s localization efforts.

Challenge

Creating a distinctive brand name was crucial for Nespresso’s Vertuo product line in the Chinese market. The challenge was to develop a Chinese verbal identity that effectively conveyed the product’s unique features, such as the large capsule size and breakthrough extraction technology, while aligning with Nespresso’s commitment to the local market.

Solution

Labbrand’s Verbal Strategy team immersed themselves in the Vertuo product line, conducting taste tests and closely examining the coffee products at Nespresso’s Shanghai office. Drawing inspiration from the large capsule size and technological innovations, Labbrand proposed a range of Chinese names. Ultimately, “Fu Xuan” [馥旋] was chosen as the Chinese brand name. The name encompasses the idea of constant aroma (“Fu”馥”) and the breakthrough extraction technology (“Xuan”旋”), representing the enhancement of rich aroma through cutting-edge techniques. Instead of a typical phonetic translation, Labbrand opted for an archaic phrasal combination that resonated with Chinese culture and demonstrated Nespresso’s commitment to localization.

Results

Labbrand’s brand name creation, “Fu Xuan,” [馥旋] for Nespresso’s Vertuo product line successfully captures the unique qualities of the products while reflecting Nespresso’s localization efforts. This distinct Chinese verbal identity goes beyond a simple translation, highlighting the large capsule size, breakthrough extraction technology, and the magnification of rich aroma. By utilizing an archaic phrasal combination, Labbrand evokes imagery deeply rooted in Chinese culture, reinforcing Nespresso’s position in the Chinese market. The “Fu Xuan” brand name has strengthened Nespresso’s presence in China and resonated with Chinese coffee enthusiasts, showcasing the success of Labbrand’s brand name creation process.
