Hi All

We are launching a food product aimed at Polish and Slavic community, I was wondering if Słowianeczka is a good name to use?

Please let me know your opinion. Do you think it will go down well with Polish people.

Thanks in advance.

it all depends on what kind of food you want to market I think - some veg or fruit preserves would be perfectly fine with Słowianeczka brand but I guess for example ham a lot less so (it's because Słowianeczka is a diminutive)

Thank you gumishu, it will be used for grains and cereals such as Buckwheat, Barely, Semolina...

one important thing is a brand name in Polish will appeal to Poles but probably not so much to Czechs, Slovaks - Czechs (and to some extent Slovaks) consider Polish products to be of rather inferior quality to their own - but on the other hand Czechs and Slovaks are quite responsive to the term Słowianka (Slovanka) - on yet another hand ;) Poles won't be attracted so much if the brand name is written in Czech or Slovak

Słowianeczka is a good name because it should appeal to both old and new emigration

and to be honest I have no idea what are the opinions of Lithuanians, Ukrainians and Russians on Polish products and if they can actually clearly recognize some merchandise as of Polish type by the brand name in Polish

Hello,

What about using a brand name "KASZKA" or "KASZKA -_SMAK". A lot of Poles, children and adults, like 'kasza manna na mleku' (semolina with boiled milk) or 'kasza gryczana'

(buckwheat with mashroom sauce) etc. Most of the Slavs know the word ' KASZA'.

GOOD LUCK.

What about

"HRECZKOSIEJ"

Buckwheat sower - funny, homely, uncommon and - what important - when you can pronance it properly you feel yourself 100% Pole.
