Today's Show
In today’s podcast Kevin and Jonathan welcome Angie Colee. Taglines are one of the most toiled after pieces of copywriting people struggle with. It’s difficult and there is a lot of pressure to get it right.
Start with Research
One of the first potential hang-ups is the dreaded lawsuit. You have to do your trademark and copyright research seriously.
Keys to a Great Tagline
Angie recommends you keep it short, memorable with clarity. It needs to be short, snappy and remember it needs to let readers know what business you are in. Those are the magic ingredients.
Sometimes, you can get away with the curiosity factor. Maybe your tagline doesn’t immediately tell the reader you sell BBQ grills but if might spark curiosity. If that curiosity drives people to inquire, you’ve written a great tagline!
Jingles
You have to have a big budget to get jingles to stick. It takes a lot of repetition to make it stick like the Farmers jingle.
Importance of Tracking
Angie likes to track the effectiveness of taglines with barcodes if it’s in print. If you can attach an offer to the ad, you have a pretty good chance of tracking the ad’s effectiveness.
