Worst Tagline Ever

Taglines are great tools for every professional, business and any job seeker. They are a concise summary that makes a fast impression. I’ve been on the radio long enough to have seen my fair share of great and horrible taglines. I’ve also had to come up with many on the spot without much time to carefully prepare one for many endorsements.

There’s nothing more dangerous than a horrible tagline. I’m sure you’ve heard them plenty of times. They can sound very cheesy or they can sound utterly ridiculous and distract you from understanding or respecting their service or product. You’re supposed to attract interested and serious customers. You’re not supposed to push them away laughing at you.

Everyone needs a tagline – whether you’re making a commercial or just telling people what you do at a cocktail party – to make a great impression. For my clients I always make it a point to consider a great tagline. I make sure taglines compliment branding strategies and I develop the best taglines possible.

You too can have a great tagline. Just make sure it’s short. Only a sentence long. Keep a positive tone and only use simple words. Don’t be afraid to run through a few drafts. Taglines get better with time.

Have a great Wednesday and don’t forget to leave some feedback! See you Friday!
