It tells people who and what you are in just a few words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tagline serves two purposes: to make a memorable, positive phrase that customers remember and helps them identify your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_a_tagline_works\"><\/span>How a tagline works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to see that taglines are an important part of any brand. Some brands even have their own taglines. Their positioning on the market is also influenced by their tagline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/40-famous-logos-with-messages\/\">communication message<\/a> that becomes an earworm for the public and sticks in their heads. It&#8217;s designed to create a lasting impression in one interaction. It communicates brand personality to consumers in simple words. If done correctly, it communicates the overall benefits of what they are offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tagline can be used by any business in marketing campaigns. It can be used in print, in brochures, newspaper ads, radio spots, promotional events, on the company&#8217;s website, and social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"different_types_of_taglines\"><\/span>Different types of taglines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, taglines are one of five main styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Descriptive<\/strong>: These taglines highlight the brand or product promise. <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/walmart-logo\/\">Walmart<\/a>, for example, uses the tagline &#8220;Save Money.&#8221; Live Better It reflects the promise of the brand to offer everyday products at low prices.<\/li><li><strong>Imperative<\/strong>: These taglines, such as Nike&#8217;s &#8220;Just Do It&#8221;, demand consumers to take action and often include a verb.<\/li><li><strong>Provocative<\/strong>: These taglines can be used to encourage consumers to think about how they can improve their lives. One famous example is &#8220;Got Milk?&#8221; California Milk Processing Board.<\/li><li><strong>Specific<\/strong>: This tagline highlights the business sector of a company. HSBC was once called &#8220;The world&#8217;s most local bank.&#8221;<\/li><li><strong>Superlative<\/strong>: These taglines place a brand at the top of its class. <a href=\"https:\/\/turbologo.com\/articles\/bmw-logo\/\">BMW<\/a>, for example, has used the tagline &#8220;The ultimate driver machine&#8221; to refer to its cars.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_tips_to_create_a_successful_tagline\"><\/span>5 tips to create a successful tagline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_keep_it_simple\"><\/span>1. Keep it simple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most successful slogans are between 3-6 words in length and communicate the message quickly. Your tagline should not exceed six words (with some exceptions I&#8217;ll discuss in the examples section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2021\/07\/22050456\/mcdonalds-tagline.png\" alt=\"mcdonalds tagline\" class=\"wp-image-10242\" title=\"mcdonalds tagline\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2021\/07\/22050456\/mcdonalds-tagline.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2021\/07\/22050456\/mcdonalds-tagline-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2021\/07\/22050456\/mcdonalds-tagline-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" data-full=\"https:\/\/assets.turbologo.com\/blog\/en\/2021\/07\/22050456\/mcdonalds-tagline.png\" data-full-size=\"1024x600\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_remember_the_benefits\"><\/span>2. Remember the benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers are interested in benefits and not features. This applies to your tagline. Your tagline should communicate the main benefit of your product or brand to your customers without revealing any &#8220;features.&#8221; A feature is something that can be removed for cleaning, while convenience is something that is considered a benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_give_it_importance\"><\/span>3.

You have a better chance of achieving your goals if you treat it as if they are already possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ask yourself these questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>In 5-10 years, where do you see your business?<\/li><li>What is the purpose of my business?
