Slogan for your photography business?

11 years 10 months ago #227624 by Happy Snapper
Wife and I had a little debat last night. She identified that I don't have a slogan for my photography business. My thoughts were I don't need one. So this opened up our little debat. :catfight:

Do you feel a business slogan is always needed, even if you have years of brand out there already with out one?

While on topic, if you have a business slogan for your photography business, let's hear it.

Unless you come up with a REALLY catchy slogan that makes people think of your business name,
Most companies spend mucho $ promoting their slogan but most don't last that long. Remember the old "At Ford, quality is job one". That lasted a while, not you never here it now.
Back in my advertising "life", we took an informal quiz on popular slogans. Very few of us could identify the product associated with the slogan, and that was our business.
It won't hurt but I doubt it will help

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Yeah, you remember commercials but what the product was?? - sometimes you remember, sometimes not.

I think your photos should pretty much speak for themselves. People most likely want to see what you can do, your name or logo/motto seems necessary mostly to identify you. Your photos can express what you're all about.

If something is screaming at you, go with it. Other wise I wouldn't bother with it.

:agree: I know several people who spent hours and hours on a slogan, business name and even the look of their business cards.
No Body Cares!
It is the quality of your product that will make or break your business.....

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Business cards are a novelty item and most cases are lost within a day after you pass it onto someone :rofl:

I don't think most business need a slogan. Most people don't bother to remember them anyways.
