So what is a strapline? A strapline is one short sentence which sums up your business and helps a customer to remember you and to choose you. They should sum up one or more important points about a business or enterprise, and be easily remembered. Simplicity is vital; avoid words that people may not understand, and avoid long sentences. Most slogans are 3-6 words, with very few going above 8; as they quickly lose their simplicity, becoming less memorable.
Some strapline examples:
Toyota; “The car in front”
McDonalds; “I’m loving it”
Comet; “We live electricals”
Stella Artois; “Reassuringly Expensive”
Tesco; "Every Little Helps"
Maybelline; "Maybe She's Born With it, Maybe it's Maybelline"
KitKat; “Have a break, Have a KitKat”
