Digestive Aid Tagline

Posted by Anonymous on 50 Points
Sorry all- I closed this question by mistake. I am new to the forum and still learning to navigate. Hopefully we can re-do it this time without any hassles. I have included mgoodman’s response and my answers to his queries this time.

ORIGINAL QUERY: Hi all. I'd like a quirky/funny tagline that conveys attitude. The product is a nutritional supplement (Over the counter) that is made from natural products (this is an ayurvedic product - an Indian form of medicine). The benefits of this product are as follows - Reduces discomfort due to gas, makes you feel lighter, improves overall immunity PLUS it tastes great! Any/all quixotic taglines are welcome. This is for a newspaper ad and the idea is for people to do a double-take after reading the tag-line instead of just treating it as another ad.

MGOODMAN: Who is the target audience? Where do they live? What sets them apart from the "non-target audience?" What are their needs, values, attitudes, habits, practices? Demographics? Psychographics?

What's the call to action? Where can they get this product? Does it have a name that we can play off? (Example: Beano says there will "BE NO gas," and has the added nuance of the word BEAN in its name, etc.)

What makes this different from, and better than, other products that provide the same/similar benefits? Why should someone buy this product instead of Beano or Gasex, for example?

Since this is for a newspaper ad, you really should have the advertising -- including the tagline -- developed by a creative team that includes both a copywriter and an art director. You want the words and pictures to fit together and communicate a single-minded benefit. Trying to slap a tagline on a generic picture isn't likely to make for very effective advertising.

MY RESPONSE: Dear mgoodman. Thanks for the response. The target audience is essentially anyone who is having digestive problems. The name of the product is Nutritone. The name of the company is Jammi. The non-target audience would probably be people who want to prevent such digestive problems. The initial newspaper insertion will run in the south Indian city of Chennai.

Yes, I have an excellent creative person working on the concept and artwork, but I am looking for a tagline independent of what he comes up with.

The USP's of this product are that it has no side-effects, it helps get rid of gas, is a great help for anoxeric patients, the digestive is non-enzymatic, and has rare ingredients like saffron and honey.

    Well..for one there aren't any such products in the market here...we will be unique in that segment...our product not only gets rid of gas, it also promotes proper digestion which will prevent gas...the idea is sustained use of our product will make one feel light and "ungassy". It also happens to be great for anorexics as it promotes a healthy appetite. It is an ayurvedic product (which is a big plus since ayurvedic products are all natural and there is precedent in India for ayurvedic products being favourably looked upon) and there are absolutely no side-effects.

    Hi karen and jay..thanks for the responses...hmm...i didnt think about the difference in cultures...however, i do think that the people here are influenced quite a bit by western culture/ads...and many times they 'get it' ...but i guess what I am really looking for is a tagline that will make them do a double-take at the ad...so i guess quirky is not necessarily what i am going after...

    And Karen..thanks for that bit about anorexics!
