Help looking for a name for the latest KTL product

For a share of the profits, I can also show you how the device makes a great way to keep your wine cool by inserting bottle into the device that this then hung over the guard rail. It ensures your bottle that is kept upright, can be kept at just the right depth to maximise cooling and the whiteness reflects the worst of the sun's warming rays. As it is also cleverly disguised as a fender, you don't look like some desperate wino either.

However, a 30 foot boat with 45 fenders is a bit of a give away :D
 
I had wondered about a straightforward answer: the 'KTL Toolbag'. However, I quickly realised that this might well leave you open to a Stella Liebeck-type litigation case; when some wasock's rig falls down and he pleads that his toolbag said to keep turning the spanner left.

I'm not up to much on the prettification-stuff (names, colours, etc.) as my background's as a Surveyor rather than an Architect, but what we Surveyors do know about is costs and profitability, so the name certainly needs to include the word 'marine' or 'apple' (perhaps both?) in there somewhere; also I think I've spotted a couple of sales and marketing tricks that you might have missed:
You're obviously promoting a one size fits all tool bag, as can clearly be seen with two metric shift-keys in the photo, along with another, plus a set of pliers and moles grips, that are A/F sized; why not potentially double potential sales by marketing separate A/F and metric versions? You could even offer a Whitworth one too, though given the likelihood of substantially lower sales numbers for such, it might be better to offer it only as a special-order/premium priced alternative, rather than off-the-shelf.
Secondly, how about a mobo specific version: apply some go faster stripes, a couple of shiny/sparkly bits and paint-on a few flourescent blue-dots to serve as underwater lights; these should add no more than £10 to the manufacturing costs, but be worth £3-400 a pop at the retail end.

In conclusion (sorry to drift) but as a one of your - the only? - satisfied customer for your plant-pot heaters, we wondered if you had been using the opportunity of the recent UK 'heat wave' to do any further R&D on this product? We're now stuck in Florida, enduring 90F/40C+ temperatures and wondering if the currently redundant plant-pots might be utilised to provide some form of air conditioning?

Excellent - take a 72 per cent share in all profits

I think you are aiming at the wrong market to achieve your goal.

While every body recognises that the marine , esp yachty , market is a very lucrative one I think you should be taking on the ladies "designer" handbag market. A little product development may be required but a fancy clasp and a few other bibs and bobs should be sufficient. Dynema shoulder straps for the most expensive perhaps.

in no time at all you'll be up there with the famous names. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Mulberry, maybe even Damart. The £ millions will be rolling in. You be able to increase the price to the limits of financial greed. You'll be able to keep a "scoop sterned twin wheel cheese wedge" in every country you fancy.

Having noted the proposed staff appointments and profit share allocations, I'm now wondering about KTL's Accountancy Consultants; an Athens-based firm by any chance?

our crack team of accountants who hale from Athens, The Channel Islands, Barbados and Chicago assure me that given the phenomenal profits expected from this unique range of products that we can share the shares out any way we wish

have a 20 per cent share in the profits for being so helpful.

Another suggestion is to use the device as a handy cockpit pish pot. It is better than a scoop bailer as it preserves your modesty and safer than the push pit

be sure to keep the Pfender open with the adjustable spanner through the whole performance = the powerful closing mechanism can be dangerous

Excellent idea Dylan.

A quick marketing tip for you Dylan as I suspect your own Marketing department may be overloaded. have the Pfender made in 3 sizes small, medium and large. Make very few small and medium. Now for the clever bit. Label them, Extra Large, Stupendously Large and Oh my God - Hide - It's a Sea Serpent.

Hire an extra accountant to count the profits from the Oh my God - Hide - It's a Sea Serpent model
