Introduction
Knowledge of taglines of companies is crucial to be called a marketer or even a businessman. Taglines help in creating the identity of our company, product, service and virtually anything. In marketing, a tagline is a short phrase that summarises the purpose of the brand or product. Sometimes taglines may be longer than one sentence; other times they may be very short (only one or two words). Taglines are used for advertising slogans and brandings.
What are Company Taglines and Why do companies use them?
Company Taglines are short phrases or sentences that are typically abbreviated versions of the names of companies and are often used to help identify a company. In most cases, companies use taglines for ad campaigns, marketing purposes and branding purposes.
Why does a company have a tagline?
Companies need taglines because they may be too long to appear on the screen if they were written in full. Taglines can also be used as part of visual brand identity and can be adapted to suit separate campaigns. Many companies come up company tagline ideas which help them market their products better.
How to select a good tagline for a company?
Companies should select taglines that are meaningful, powerful and memorable. Taglines are one of the most important things that marketing companies use for promotional purposes. The company tagline should be catchy enough that it sticks in the customer mind when he sees the company’s products or advertisements.
