Advertisement Ideas: The Importance Of A Tag Line!!!!

When you walk into a networking function how are you known. I have developed the moniker Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, The Spiritual Emcee Maximizing Your Message so as to encompass what I do and how I am of value and service to those who elect to hire me and use my myriad of services. One of my clients helps people with investments and fixes their financial rating so I gave her the moniker(tag line), Monica Bailey, The Financial Fixer. If you are an entrepreneur it is imperative to have a tag line that is easy to remember and effectively describes who you are and what you do. If you work for a corporation or small mom and pop operation it is important to create a tag line so that your customers/clients will relate to you and continue to do business with you. As you develop your tag line think what do I do and how do I want to be perceived.

 McDonald’s has done a great job of creating tag lines that are easy to remember and resonate with their target audience.  Over the years they have had many tag lines. One thing has remained consistent and that is their logo. Their logo is one of the most recognized logos in the world. The reason it is so recognizable is that they spend money on marketing and branding and make these two elements a priority. I use McDonald’s for example purposes only.

A successful entrepreneur who believes in getting fit she has been able merge her passion and build her brand to the point that she is easily recognizable in the marketplace.

 Be creative in developing your tag line. Think How am I going to stand out and be remembered. Look at competitors and see what their tag line is and then tweak yours to surpass theirs.

Include your tag line on everything, Banners, Business card ads, in print ads, in radio ads, in TV ads, on your website, in your blog, in your social media. The idea is to create a recognizable brand so that clients/customers will be driven to do business with you.

 Think what message do you want to convey. Ask what are my competitors using? What are the 3 things I want to be known for? Brainstorm ideas and tweak until you find something that you like and conveys who you are and what you do thus enticing people to do business with you.
