Tagline experts will tell you a tagline must be original, memorable, and inspirational. We have probably forgotten all the bad ones weve heard over the years and remember some very good ones Just Do It, Youre in Good Hands , Think Different. The taglines are really essentials for your brand. Your tagline communicates with your target customers and enhances values of your business in the eye of your customers.Look at some simple examples of taglines;McDonald; Im lovin itAmerican Express; Dont leave home without itBurger King; Have it your wayNike; Just do itIf you take a look at guidelines for great taglines youll see that none of these taglines follow the rules. For example Just Do It is generic, not original and doesnt inspire. However, if you back it with repetitive images of athletes working hard and achieving exceptional results through advertising and branding and word-of-mouth excitement it takes on the unique and inspirational role.Lets look at Apples Think Differ ent. Besides being widely criticized for teaching our youth bad grammar, a marketing professor would ask about the specificswho and what. When you couple the tagline with the Apples exceptional product line and repetitive advertising it takes on a new meaning that clearly fits Apple and their products. This otherwise meaningless statement takes on an exciting association. The same can be said for Melts in your mouth, not in your hand, Im lovin it, and The taste of a new generation.How does this apply to individuals trying to brand themselves without multi-million dollar budgets?Ask yourself these two questions: What makes me different and unique? Your answers will include your experience, your approach, your credentials, your passions. How does my unique skill set fulfill a need or want? What type of business you own? What is your target population? How can you help them?
Using the answers to these two questions create a key takeaway your target market should remember. Lets say you are an experienced painter that has found an inexpensive way to paint homes and buildings. You could say Five Star Painting Without the Five Star Price. This is fairly generic, yet clearly fulfills a want and need of your customers.

Using the rules as a baseline, break the rules to create something that becomes uniquely you! If it doesnt work, try something else. Marketing is not a science or math problem where there is only one answer. It is an art that requires trial and error. Taglines are important to your personal brand. Go ahead, tag your brand!You can pay a copywriter anywhere from $250 to $3,000 to create a tagline, or you can create one yourself with a brainstorming session and a little creativity.
