I get asked a lot about why I chose the business name, Lightning Clout [and the moniker @JasmineHasClout]
I knew I wanted Lightning in it because at the time this business was my #namesake [first of its name, cue #gameofthrones music]. For those who are new here, yes, #Lightning is my actual maiden name. Since the business is literally and extension of me I knew I wanted to instill a sense of reassurance and belief in what we can do and offer in our #products and #services.
Of course I wanted a #clever and catchy name but I also really wanted the #business name to not only embody but truly represent the goal and vision I had for my business. I remember surveying #friends and #family and beta testing different descriptors and nouns to see which resonated most. In the end we landed on a pretty rad short list. After much #debate and #prayer. And late night doodles I finally settled on Clout.
Clout /klout/ - noun
Secondary meaning of influence or power, especially in politics or business.
Synonyms : pull, weight, sway, leverage, mastery, advantage, authority, prestige, standing, stature and #influence.
When you speak of someone having clout, it usually means that they communicate a sense of #power or influence, particularly in the political sense. Clout is a word which has a variety of meanings and it also depends how the word may be applied in a content. IMO, it is the way the word is used should determine its connotations, whether positive, negative, neutral or otherwise.
"Clout" pre-internet is “the ability to influence, and to do things that others can’t do because of your reputation, money, or power.” To me It’s even more simple: Clout is the ability to get a message across, disseminate information, and have it resonate.
