It’s the tagline that defined the Obama campaign –  the most successful in American political history.

So, what about your business, product or organization? Does it have a strong, clear, and positive identity? Are your prospects really clear about what your product or service is and how it benefits them? Are you exciting your prospects with your message? If you’re not sure, chances are you’d benefit from a great tagline.

Here are some other effective tagline examples: http://www.follisinc.com/tagline.htm

Marketing Tip #17

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Consider a kick-ass tagline. Taglines are one of the best ways of branding any product, service, or company. For years. Here are a few examples:

          - “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.” (since 1964)

          - “A diamond is forever.” (since 1948)

          - “All the news that’s fit to print.” (since 1896)

Other examples are, “You’re in good hands with Allstate” which conveys a caring, protective image. Or “Think different” (Apple Computer) which conveys innovation and category leadership.

A great tagline, like all creative marketing, involves a mix of right-brain creativity and left-brain strategic thinking. Both are critical. Because, it doesn’t matter how clever it is if it’s the wrong message, and it won’t matter how strategically smart it is if it’s dull. Like a product or company name, a tagline is something you’ll want to live with forever. So, be sure it’s great. Because just as a great tagline can help your business, a bad one can do the opposite.
