...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...

...Chance Dalton Haley Davis English 101 2 December 2013 Nike: Rhetorical Analysis of Commercial Slogans A long run on a rainy day, lifting an extra fifty pounds, spending the extra hour at the batting cages; whatever lights that fire in all of us motivates us to get up and work can be triggered by the phrase “Just Do It.” “There Is No Finish Line” keeps you motivated for even better success. Just because you do it doesn’t mean you have to stop once you meet your goals. These phrases can also be recognized as campaign slogans for the Nike Company. These campaign slogans have proven to be effective at selling the product and picking up strong support along the way. Nike products are seen everywhere whether it be the actual product or an advertisement which means Nike is doing something right. Nike as a company is able to hold a strong ethos and a popular warrant in advertising their products. The Nike slogans appeal to a wide audience variety, and Nike’s appeal to one’s emotions through pathos may be the strongest aspect. The Nike Company has proven themselves well over the years with supporters such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. All three of those names are applied to highly paid NBA basketball stars that everyone has at least heard of. Having supporters such as famous athletes gives Nike a strong ethos in their campaign because if the highest paid athletes are using Nike products, then the logical thinking is that Nike must be the best. For example,...

...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...

Old things are changed and manipulated to remain useful and important. The United States Postal Service should be no different. If the USPS wants to succeed in the coming years, they will have to change the company to make it more efficient and prosperous. A long time ago someone coined the USPS with the slogan “fly like an eagle,” but these words hold no real value in the twenty first century. According to Daniel Stone, the USPS needs new branding (Source A). A company’s branding is its identification.

...Michael Barton Mrs. Edsen English 1300-1:40 11, November 2012 Believe in Your Smellf “Believe in your smellf,” this is Old Spices catch phrase for their Old Spice Champion ad. When it comes to selling a product Old Spice tries to make the costumer think that if they get their product it will change them. Can think of a company that uses weasel words more than Old Spice does with their advertisement? Old Spice tries to make it seem as if, by purchasing their product, you will all of a sudden have a much more glorious life. Old Spice is notorious for misleading an audience into buying their product. They have multiple commercials where they use doublespeak to try and make their product sound better. Old Spice also frequently uses weasel words as well as doublespeak to get people more interested in their product. Lutz said this about weasel words, “Weasel words appear to say one thing when in fact they say the opposite or nothing at all.” (Lutz 310) Lutz describes doublespeak as, “It is a language which makes the bad seem good, the negative seem positive, the unpleasant to seem attractive, or at least tolerable. “ (Lutz 304) Old spice has multiple commercials making false claims of how you can be changed by their product. As a consumer of any product you must be aware of what ads trying to sell you. Old Spice Champion is trying to get people to “Believe in your smellf.” Many consumers buy Old Spice Champion for misleading reasons, but no consumer should ever buy Old Spice...

...As requested, we are writing this memo to shed the light on our confusion deciding whether our slogan is good or bad to become our advertising campaign. To refresh your mind, in our slogan, we states that we promise a money back guarantee if we cannot collect the money within 50 days. The way we examine this slogan is by taking random samples of accounts closed out in the previous year. We believe those historical data are good benchmark to make some adjustment to our slogan. Our calculation shows that our slogan is not completely inappropriate yet some adjustments need to be made to make it better. Based on our analysis, the slogan is also not a good fit if we do not exercise the amount of money we collect. Due to all these, we recommend to create some restriction to our slogan that can give more assurance for our customers. Getting into the details, we have found out several noteworthy informations from our research that become the basis of our recommendation. First and foremost, we find that both individual and business account have a linear relationship within the group. Despite of this fact, they both do not share the same correlation. In the business account, for each additional $100 it takes approximately 17 days less to collect the money while for individual account with that same additional, it require 16 days more to collect the money. As they both have linear relationship, the number of days needed to collect extra money will continue to decrease for business while...
