Taglines vs Slogans

When promoting products, companies must take the initiative to deliver a powerful, compact, and consistent brand message to the consumers. Taglines and slogans are two marketing tools that have been proven to be very effective in the promotion of a product. But while these two marketing strategies share a lot of things in common, they are two very distinct marketing tools.

Slogans express a company or product’s stand or goal. They can be any expression, saying, idiom, phrase, or trademark that can distinguish a product, making it notable. They are the foundations of a company’s marketing strategy and help to develop trust and confidence in the company and its products.

Taglines are repeated messages that identify a product or a company. Each tagline is a brief phrase that is used in marketing and advertising to aid in the promotion of the company name and its products. Taglines are developed for the purpose of creating a memorable phrase that will make a product known and reinforce it in the consumers’ memories.

A slogan is a phrase or a motto that is also used in marketing and advertising as well as in political and religious purposes. Slogans are social expressions with a single objective: to inform and draw the attention of consumers to what the product is all about.
To create a lasting dramatic effect in an audience’ memory, taglines are made, giving a product or company prominence and distinction over the competition. It makes the product and the company that made the product well known to the consumers.

Slogans on the other hand are used in campaigns where the company is taking part in. They are constantly changing to adapt to current trends. They are used to define the campaign and are brief and may last only for a certain campaign period.
