Plse Help Tagline For Community Car Share Club
Posted By: glosdata on 3/10/2007 4:00 PM (CST) 125 Points
We are launching a new car share club which enables a member to co-own (share part of) a fuel-efficient car. They can also carpool to work, or may opt for group lease. The central message we wish to convey is that we (everyone on earth) need to minimize our greenhouse emissions by switching to green vehicles, and that if you do, your lifestyle gets better [not worse] through carshare, strengthened community relationships and reduced transport costs and time saving.
How do we reduce all this to a few words? Our tagline suggestions so far: 1. Drive Green, Be Special 2. Travel green, be a good role model, and enjoy a better quality of life 3. Lead the way towards Greener travel 4. Drive Green for a Greener Planet 5 Green is Cool. Be Green. 6. Strengthening Your Relationships 7. Enhance your lifestyle
http://community-carshare.com/
Also we wish to abbreviate the name so it rolls off the tongue easily--but has to capture the three concepts "community", "car-share" (as one word), and "Club". CCC was the first suggestion, then we found it is not distinctive--there are a million CCCs out there, plus it fails the test of conveying what the service is all about by itself. So we though of CoCar Club. Others are saying ComCar Club, What do you think?
Thanks in adavance Tegi

Tegi,
Lets attack your model a little differently,

I think by using an acronym with your current name, your brand will loose significance and identity. I strongly suggest removing or using a simple "call letter concept". Especially since your message and product is unique, timely and a really good idea.

AutoShare, Its time has come.

Car2Share, Its Time has arrived and so will you.

Auto2Share Green, Efficient and So Timely

Group Green, an Auto Share Plan
Save Time, Money and the Earth.

Green2Go, an AutoShare Plan
Timely,Effective and Efficient

Just a few ideas to move thoughts a little different way, Hope they help

Good Luck & Happy Marketing~

Wow,

We are mulling all these wonderful proposals.
Cheers,

Some great ideas from Phoenix ONE.

How about you run with the green theme and the car(s) you share are all painted a distinctive lime green, with strong wrap-around vinyl signage proclaiming what you are doing.

You could try a short sharp memorable name, and a tagline that expands upon the concept ... what the name stands for.

ComCar
'Communities sharing and saving'

Or use a name that grabs the imagination and fires the emotions

The Cool Green Limousine
'Communities sharing to protect the planet'

Great idea. Lots of luck with the project ... it should go nationwide ... better still, worldwide !

I like some of the above suggestions
AutoShare
Green2Go
G2G
ComCar
Co-Car - a co-op for your car (is good too.)

Other ideas

Co-Ride
RideShare
RideAide (Might be too close to RiteAid)
Share-A-Ride

This will "Date" me but I think the cool kids are calling their cars "Whips" these days, so here goes:

WhipShare
WhipCo
Co-Whip
WhipRide
WhipRiders
GreenWhip
WhipGreen
Whip2Go
WhipShip
WhipCom

Good Luck - Great Idea

I would rather stick with the Original branding to a large limit, to tell immediately that its all about carshare...and later pitch in with other VA Services.

Since there is a community and club, we might be in a position to subtle or remove one of them...Lemme try:

Car Share Community : For a greener tomorrow

Car Share Club : Save. Green. Wallet

And it does not look like we have lost any essence from the original communication. Also note the focus coming into the derived benefits.

Hope it works. But more than all, all the very best in your endeavour, Telgi.
