Good marketing slogans...

[Deleted]

What is a good marketing slogan that really resonates with you?

Home Depot's "Let's do this" really hits me. By saying Let's/ Let us - they are saying we are in this together. Let's get together and do this! It also says we can do this ourselves and we don't need a professional..

I think that "don't leave home without it" is one of the finest slogans ever written.  "Betcha can't eat just one" is also praised for its simplicity, brutal honesty, and playfulness".

I remember what "food, folks, and fun" was trying to evoke, though I don't think I ever agreed with it.  And of course "Always low prices, always" is a straight shooting fact, along with a reason for many to avoid Walmart.

All the shower moaning made me run out and buy Herbal Essence years ago, but I guess it only works on women..

Well, I've been traumatized for life by Quizno's spongmonkey ads and I only saw those a time or two all the way thru... ::shiver::

 

I really love the Mayhem commercials  - Dean Winters does it for me...  Unfortunately, I wouldn't mind meeting Mayhem      I had to google to find out which insurance company the ads are for:  AllState.   The "You're in good hands" slogan is pretty good... not sure if it's still used with the Mayhem commercials....

I love the Dog and Burglers one and the one where Mayhem is the teenage girl with cell phone in an SUV in a parking lot.      I've never seen one of those ads that didn't make me stop and pay attention - even when I had seen them a dozen times.

I can't remember the product, but I loved the one with the guy on the riding mower bragging about his lifestyle and then he says "how do I afford it?  I'm in DEBT up to my eyeballs!"

My bologna has a first name

It's O S C A R...

My bologna has a second name

It's M A Y E R...

I love to eat it every day

And if you ask me why I'll say

'Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way

With B O L O G N A.

Even though I think bologna is revolting, I still fondly remember that song.

Oh, and speaking of revolting, that BMW ad is offputting.  I'm not prudish, but as a woman (who does all the car buying in the house), that would send me to the Mercedes, Rover or Jag lot instead.

I wish I could find a copy of it, but I saw the funniest customer complaint letter to Ford absolutely skewering Ford's lack of quality. I think the letter started something like this:

"If quality is job one, I'd hate to see what was job two."

A furniture store near here had a second annual going out of business sale. That sign got a good laugh out of me.

   "Winstons taste good like a cigarette should."   That was on tv over and over again when we were kids, until tobacco ads were banned from the airwaves.

   Also, just the Marlboro man lighting up with that music behind the scene was just iconic.  

   I've never smoked, though .



   Here's a youtube link to one of the famous Winston ads that have Fred and Barney lighting up in 1961:

 

  We remember that one !

   Calgon, take me away !

"We are Farmers. Bum ba-dum bum bum bum bum!"

We were driving somewhere today, and the 8yo randomly began singing that.  The 15yo joined in.  After 3 rounds, I asked why they were singing it.  Turns out the 8yo had seen a State Farm sign.   Memorable ad and jingle, but he got the insurance company names crossed.  He loves the ad where the teen driver goes thru the fence and skids across the yard, and the insurance agent reaches inside the car, takes the keys away and flings them as far as he can.

...:::"Oh, and speaking of revolting, that BMW ad is offputting. I'm not prudish, but as a woman (who does all the car buying in the house), that would send me to the Mercedes, Rover or Jag lot instead.":::...

I'm betting that BMW ad has the dual purpose of weeding out folks like you (I am not railing against you personally, of course -- this is market segmentation strategy).  The target market is not a dude whose balls are in his wife's purse, who has to ask permission to... do anything.  The target market is a dude who will buy the car because he wants control and performance, and maybe he'll look cool enough to bag a chick like that.

Now... a car ad whose target market IS a dude whose balls are in his wife's purse (and one I've roasted before) is that god awful Kia ad where "he" wants the SUV and "she" wants the minivan.  The voice over says: "How does he decide which to get (they show a picture of a bed and a picture of a dog house) . . . depends on where HE wants to sleep tonight".

Oh... oh!  I remember the first pizza ad (either Dominos or the Hut) that featured the "<30 minutes or its free" concept.  I remember the patron declaring, in quite a pompous and entitled voice "and if its not here in 30 minutes... I don't think I'll pay for it".

20 years and probably many many many car accidents later, I believe the concept is no more.  Ah the 80s...
