Every great company needs a powerful tagline. When you think of Disneyland, the slogan ‘happiest place on earth’ comes to mind and M&M’s is nearly synonymous with ‘melts in your mouth, not in your hands’.
A tagline means so much for your company. It will help identify you as you continue to grow. That’s why it’s important to come up with a tagline you are happy with from the very beginning.
Some companies might have in-house marketing teams that can help them come up with a catchy tagline. If you are just starting out and have a smaller business, you may want to see if you can brainstorm to come up with a tagline for yourself. If you choose this route, here are some pointers that can help you succeed.
Start by Thinking About What’s Unique About Your Brand:
A good brand will have a selling point that sets them apart from their competition. Think of what yours is and do your best to incorporate it into your tagline. A good example is Verizon’s ‘Can you hear me now?’ which sets them apart in that they offer more reliable coverage than other brands.
Be Cute and Clever:
Don’t shy away from taglines that may seem too cutesy. Word play can be a great way to send a message that will be easily relatable for your target audience.
Make It Memorable:
You want to create a tagline that people will remember from the first time they hear it. To do this, keep it simple sending your message in as few words as possible while still making it memorable. Using rhyming words or alliteration can be effective to this end.
Inject Personality:
Think of your company’s personality and image and be sure to let in shine through in the tagline you create.
If you don’t have a marketing team behind you and are unable to come up with a tagline that you think will be effective, you may consider hiring an outside expert. Even though you may be on a limited budget, this will be a worthwhile investment as your tagline will be something that will identify your brand for years to come.
