Eclectic
or
Connoisseur?
Eclectic Connoisseur. Now there is a mouthful. I often struggle to use $100 words, but rarely do I ever see them back to back. When I first told someone the name of my new company he asked me “Can you even spell those words?” Fair question and the truthful answer is spelling ‘connoisseur’ properly caught me out the first few times… but hey, at least I know spell check is working!
So why did I choose this name for my company and, for that matter, what does it even mean? The straight-up answer to this question is that I choose this name because I wanted to brand a Life Style.
The words Eclectic and Connoisseur are almost counterpoints of one another. Someone Eclectic ‘does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm’ while a Connoisseur is someone who does.
This is the foundational story that gave rise to choosing to brand our company the Eclectic Connoisseur: To me, the equal sign of combining these two $100 words is an Eclectic person who encapsulates wanting to add more life to their lifestyle and has an aspect of a being a Connoisseur that would, in our case, be someone who claims authority, efficacy, and advocacy to promote the gourmet life!
