Every day we see millions of messages and catchphrase everywhere from print media to online
advertisements. True, there are some slogans that we know by heart but a millions of them have
come and gone that we hardly ever noticed. What is it about an advertising slogan that catapults
it into fame? Aside from having outstanding brand recall, they have a positive x factor that
makes us look twice, think thrice and delight the imagination of their target markets and
characterize their products in original ways. According to the book "Creative Advertising" by
Charles Whittier: "A slogan should be a statement of such merit about a product or service that
is worthy of continuous repetitive advertising; is worthwhile for the public to remember; and is
phrased in such a way that the public is likely to remember it."
3. Beneficial. Reveal your purpose and benefits of the product by conveying the message in
consumer language. Turn bad into good. Suggest the risk of not using the product. Create
a positive feeling for the consumers.
4. Differentiation. In an overcrowded market, companies on the same industry need to set
themselves apart thru their creative and original tagline or slogan.
5. Keep it simple. Use proven words and short keywords. One word is usually not enough.
