You might be wondering how companies make memorable slogans for your own takeout restaurant. Look no further, because here are the secret techniques used by marketing agencies to create unforgettable brand messages.

  1. Sync with logo. If you already a logo, it’s smart to include your tagline underneath. A logo on its own usually can’t convey the exact message you’re hoping to get across. After all, everyone’s brain works a little bit differently. A unique slogan paired with a stand-out logo is the one-two marketing punch your brand needs.
  2. Simplify it. As we mentioned, a slogan needs to be direct and punchy. Creating a long, slogan may lead your audience to lose interest and is more difficult to remember. Make your slogan short, direct, and one that represents what you have to offer them. Some of the best performing slogans of all-time are between three and seven words in length.
  3. Take your time. Thinking of a memorable slogan usually takes time and a few iterations. You may have heard stories of famous restaurants creating that catchy phrase in a snap. These stories are the exception, not the rule. Most restaurants think long and hard on how they could create that perfect slogan. Large companies might spend a few months of a marketing team’s time to just coming up with branding ideas. This is a process.
  4. Humor. One of the best strategies in making that one great slogan is using humor. Humor catches attention and if you could use a little humor incorporated into the whole company mix, this slogan could be your ticket to notability. Think of Wendy’s “Where’s the beef?”. It was a popular catchphrase in the U.S. and Canada in 1984. Decades later, we still remember this one liner!
  5. Rhyming words. Using rhyming is one of the best ways to make that creative slogan. It’s also a good way to start an idea for a slogan as rhyming words are simple, uncomplicated, and most of all, fun! Think of Burger King’s “Your Way Right Away!” or Dairy Queen’s “Hot Eats, Cool Treats”.
