...Most companies use slogans, taglines or catchy phrases in their advertisements to tell the world what makes their product or service special or different. A slogan can become the foundation of a company’s identity if done well however, if done poorly - a slogan can send the wrong message and actually drive customers away. This is why it is important to have a solid and accurate tagline. When you develop an effective advertising slogan – one that’s notable and gives a precise picture of what your business is all about – the slogan becomes an important part of your brand. An advertising slogan reveals a lot about your company, especially when the slogan reveals something about your prices, services or what customers can expect. This is exactly why I agree that Walmart was right to drop their tagline “Always Low Prices. Always”. Walmart is not always going to have the lowest price on an item so the continued use of the slogan could possibly work against Walmart when people start observing the prices may not ALWAYS be lower. Even though, this tagline did reach with millions of customers, their second operation – the price rollback campaign helped stock soar 1173 percent in the 1990s. This strategy was more appealing to the eye; people saw a smiley face slashing prices in half. It did wonders for the company! It was like the store’s mascot, it was on the commercials, store signane, employee aprons and their buttons. It was during 2000 – 2007 when Walmart’s stock prices fell and remained...

...Comparing two adverts This essay will be about two adverts which I will be comparing, these adverts are; Dominoes; Oven Baked Subs! And Ribeana; drink! The Dominoes advert had a very effective tagline because it was short and snappy, however the Ribeana drink tag line was also quite catchy and it suits the product well. The colour which have been used in the Ribena advert are well suited for the drink; because the colours are nice natural colours, light colours which give off the soft, calm, relaxing effect that Ribena may have one you. The font is nice and large so it stands out and it is eye catching. On the other hand the colours on the Dominoes advert are very bright, and bold. It is very eye catching and colourful, and it is very distinctive, so it stands out and is recognisable, and the font is very large too, which makes it stand out even more! The graphics on the adverts are both very big, and eye catching; so they attract the attention of customers. Also on the Dominoes advert there are three big pictures of three different lunch Subs, which can instantly make any mouth water. Saying that, the Ribena advert is also persuasive, because there is a natural background, which automatically gives of the impression that Ribeana is natural; the ingredients are natural and healthy and a good drink I think the target audience, and who the advert appeals to for the Dominoes advert are people who, would be out, possibly at work on a lunch break and are going to...

...A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a political, commercial, religious, and other context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose. The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm tanmay (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry").[1] Slogans vary from the written and the visual to the chanted and the vulgar. Their simple verbal nature usually leaves little room for detail, and a chanted slogan may serve more as social expression of unified purpose, than as communication to an intended audience. Marketing slogans are often called taglines in the United States or straplines in the U.K. Europeans use the terms baselines, signatures, claims or pay-offs.[2] "Sloganeering" is a mostly derogatory term for activity which degrades discourse to the level of slogans. Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product. Its purpose is to emphasize a phrase that the company wishes to be remembered by, particularly for marketing a specific corporate image or connection to a product or consumer base.[1] Some slogans are created just for specific campaigns for a limited time; some are intended as corporate slogans, to be used for an extended period; some slogans start out as the former, and find themselves converted to the latter because they take hold with the public, and some are...

...service or product, I have to develop new taglines to outline the benefits of that new product. The key to an effective tagline is not the tagline itself it is how it is pitched to each customer. I cannot talk to every customer the same because each customer is different. What I have to do is manipulate the tagline with different wordings or, in some instances, different accents. I had to figure out how to pitch a taglines to different kinds of members to better suit that group of members. To put this experiment together was quite simple because I see a variety of people throughout my day and I have so many opportunities to see how people respond that day and the days after. The theory I had was that my older members respond to southern accents, the male members respond to deeper or sultry tones, and the younger member base respond to upbeat or higher pitched tones of my voice. To test this, I developed a universal tagline, a tagline that caters to all of our products and services. The tagline was “Let us do a financial review with you to show you how to save money with your account.” I had used this tagline before and I had proof that it worked by looking at my previous referral sheet. This was the archival research that I had but I also had the naturalistic observations as my strongest advantage. Because I was going to see these customers again, I knew that I was going to be able to see for myself how people responded to my tagline. I conducted this experiment for three days...

...“Killing Us Softly” Personal Response Essay “Killing us Softly” is a documentary by Jean Kilbourne on the message that the advertisement industry sends out to women and the near impossible standards of feminine beauty it upholds. Cindy Crawford once said “I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford”. Now this might sound bizarre to many, but the truth is, in today’s world of Botox and Photoshop, cosmetic surgery and strict diets it is impossible to be that ‘perfect body’ that ads portray. According to a photographer for a leading fashion magazine, a particular shot goes through at least 20-30 rounds of airbrushing. Tag lines such as “beauty knows no pain” and “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” develop and encourage such unhealthy attitudes. According to a study, an average American views 3000 ads per day. Ads have a quick, cumulative and subconscious effect. They create a toxic cultural environment where the well being and health of an individual are threatened. They show these models who have so-called perfect bodies, no blemishes, no marks, no wrinkles, and no nothing. But the problem is that beauty starts being equated with a painfully thin marks-free fair body. This affects the self- esteem of women and they become ashamed of their physical attributes and try harder to achieve those exacting and impractical standards. A popular weight loss tag line says “the more you subtract the more you add”. So women start going for sizes 0 and 00. These not only affect health...
