Template:Wikiquote

Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product. A strapline is a British term used as a secondary sentence attached to a brand name. Its purpose is to emphasize a phrase that the company wishes to be remembered by, particularly for marketing a specific corporate image or connection to a product or consumer base.[1]

Effective slogans

Advertising slogans often play a large part in the interplay between rival companies. An effective slogan usually:

  • states the main benefits of the product or brand for the potential user or buyer
  • implies a distinction be between it and other firms' products - of course, within the usual legal constraints
  • makes a simple, direct, concise, crisp, and apt statement
  • is often witty
  • adopts a distinct "personality" of its own
  • gives a credible impression of a brand or product
  • makes the consumer feel "good"
  • makes the consumer feel a desire or need
  • is hard to forget - it adheres to one's memory (whether one likes it or not), especially if it is accompanied by mnemonic devices, such as jingles, ditties, pictures or film
