A Yawn is Just a Silent Scream for Coffee.

  1. Free form brainstorm. Start by writing words that best describe your company in a notepad. Test combinations of words related to coffee like roast, beans, latte, cappuccino, and espresso. Don’t take yourself too seriously at this step and be open to creativity. Discover what your creative mind can come up with.
  2. Know your craft. Next is product knowledge. Put your business into words customers will relate to. For instance, you serve your own uniquely brewed coffee, you can start with the root word “brew” and create a slogan based on the message you’d like to convey. Example: Brewed with the Best. 
  3. Benefits. Every business offers some benefit to its customers. Using this approach, you might write down phrases describing what benefit your coffee would provide. Examples: The energy to start your day. Your morning pick me up. 
  4. Mix and match your concept list. If you already have a list of words but still can’t come up with a memorable slogan, you may have to play around with the phrasing. You may have put in words like Cappuccino and Italy that you want to work into your brand. Find ways to express these unique elements of your business. Example: “The home of authentic Italian Cappuccino” or “Idaho’s Best Rated Cappuccino Bar.”
  5. Keep it short and simple. In order to convey your message properly, you need a short message that can be remembered. Consumers remember witty, funny and brief slogans that catch their attention more easily. Keep your slogans concise by limiting them to less than 10 words as a rule of thumb.
  6. Use a free slogan generator. If you still feel you can’t get the right words out of your mind, you can always use a slogan generator that’ll work for you. There are many slogan generators available online, just input a keyword and they’ll mix and match all sorts of slogan variations for you.
