Happy new year everyone! Hope you had some time to rest and relax and are now ready to launch some amazing apps in 2022.
I want to bring up slogans and taglines as it's come up in some of our conversations.
Slogans are an excellent advertising tool. A slogan is "a catchphrase or small group of words that are combined in a special way to identify a product or company," according to Entrepreneur.com's small business encyclopedia. It's like an audio/word logo for your brand, communicating your brand message quickly.
"Slogan" and "tagline" are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. While a slogan is a bit more descriptive of your company and positions it in an industry, a tagline is more lighthearted and creates an image or association. Think "Just do it."
What makes a good slogan?
A good slogan needs to be short and memorable. It needs to be instantly recognisable and perceivable - people shouldn't have to think too much about it.
It also needs to differentiate your brand. Focus on a key feature, something unique. And create a positive feeling towards your brand.
A few of my faves...
Here are a few of my favourite examples of slogans and taglines: The New York Times: 'All the News That's Fit to Print' The Mosaic Company: 'We Help the World Grow the Food It Needs' General Electric: 'Imagination at Work.'
Dollar Shave Club: 'Shave Time. Shave Money.' MasterCard: 'There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard.'
Meow Mix: 'Tastes So Good, Cats Ask for It By Name'
Nike: 'Just Do It.' Apple: 'Think Different.' L'Oréal Paris: 'Because You're Worth It.' California Milk Processor Board: 'Got Milk?'
What are some examples of taglines/slogans that you like?
