Developing Your Tagline

A tagline must concisely brand and convey who you are. It must also establish value and serve as an internal cheer.

The best taglines are real, emotional, and stand for something.

When developing your tagline, stay clear of  predictable words like “customer-driven” or  “customer friendly.”

Impactful taglines should be original and bold!

“The happiest place on earth,”  Disneyland– it’s a bold promise, and they sure do deliver on it.

Developing the right tagline is as much a science as it is an art.

“With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good”  Smuckers wit is essential to get the message across.

“When you care enough to send the very best,”  Hallmark– sure is tooting their horn.

All Businesses Should Have a Tagline

Whether it’s humorous and empathetic or straightforward and descriptive, taglines should provide emotion and clearly state your mission. Focus not only on what you do but also how and why you do it.

Remember, restaurant startups cannot stand on their own! They’re new and could be a first-time venture, and a tagline can briefly and meaningfully define them.

If your restaurant name is not already descriptive of what you do, then your tagline should be.
