A tag line is the phrase that follows your brand name. Remember "N-E-S-T-L-E-S: Nestlé makes the very best chocolate?" It is a memorable tag line that differentiates itself from its competitors. Often, a good tag line is quite simple, such as Tyson's "We're chicken." Within this simplicity, however, lies their greatest strength－a narrowly defined positioning.
Tag lines work especially well when a new product is introduced. They act as a quick reference system for the consumer. For example, Listerine toothpaste is "The toothpaste that kills germs for a cleaner, fresher mouth."
While a slogan changes with the campaign, a tag line remains virtually static for many years. "Shouldn't your baby be a Gerber baby?" still resonates with consumers as does "Choosy Moms choose Jif."
