Plain promise
Says the result. Best when the result is rare in your market.
A good B2B tagline is short, true and clearly yours. Here are 30 made-up examples and how to write your own.
A B2B tech tagline is a short line, often three to six words, that sums up the feeling of your promise. It comes after your positioning, not before it.
Below are 30 tagline examples I wrote for made-up companies, grouped in six kinds, plus a prompt and a checklist to write and test your own.
Three different jobs. Mixing them up makes weak taglines.
| Positioning statement | Tagline | Campaign slogan | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who reads it | Your team | Everyone | One campaign's audience |
| Length | 2-3 sentences | 3-6 words | Any |
| Lasts | Years | Years | Weeks or months |
| Job | Guide every decision | Sum up the feeling | Sell one thing now |
Write the positioning first. See positioning statement examples for B2B.
Every company below is made up. Every line is mine, written to show a pattern.
