What makes a slogan work: what the research says
- Clear, a real benefit, a little creativity. A study in the Journal of Business Research found people liked slogans mainly for the clarity of the message, the benefit it states, rhymes and creativity. Jingles and shortness had no consistent effect on liking (Dass, Kohli, Kumar & Thomas, 2014).
- Remembered when it’s used for years. A study of 150 slogans and 220 people found slogans were remembered best when they were short, used for a long time and backed by big budgets. Complexity, jingles and rhymes made no measurable difference to recall (Kohli, Thomas & Suri, Journal of Advertising Research, 2013).
- Liked or remembered: a trade-off. In a study of more than 800 slogans, people liked shorter slogans without the brand name, using common, abstract words. They remembered longer slogans that included the brand name and used rarer, concrete words (Hodges, Estes & Warren, Journal of Consumer Research, 2024).
What that means for a small business. Say one clear benefit a customer cares about. Make it sound like you, not like everyone in your trade. Then keep using the same slogan on your van, your cards and your posts for years. Repetition is how a slogan earns its place.
Slogan or tagline?
Merriam-Webster defines a slogan as “a brief attention-getting phrase used in advertising or promotion” (Merriam-Webster) and lists slogan as a synonym for tagline (Merriam-Webster). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Public Relations says the two words are often used interchangeably (SAGE). Many brand guides draw a working line: the tagline is the lasting line that sits with your logo, and a slogan can change from one campaign to the next (Kennesaw State University brand guide). For a small business, one line you use everywhere is plenty.
How long should a slogan be?
Writing guides give a rule of thumb: 6 to 8 words at the very most (Mailchimp), or no more than seven (Marketing Donut). The research above doesn’t settle it, so treat word counts as a guide, not a law. A practical test: can someone read it on your van at a red light? Spark’s generator aims for 3 to 8 words and never more than 10.
Four checks before you print it
1. Is it true, and can you prove it?
The FTC says advertising must be truthful and not misleading, and that advertisers need proof before the ad runs (FTC guide for small business). It generally doesn’t pursue obvious exaggeration or “puffing”, but some exaggerated claims are taken seriously by buyers and are actionable (FTC policy statement on deception). In plain terms: a claim someone could check, like the cheapest in town or number one in your area, needs proof. Spark’s generator leaves those out.
2. Does someone else already own it?
A trademark can be a word, a phrase, a symbol or a design that identifies your goods or services (USPTO), so slogans can be registered. But plain information and phrases that many businesses use are refused, because they don’t point to one business (USPTO examination manual, TMEP 1202.04). A slogan printed big across the front of a T-shirt may be seen as decoration, not a brand (USPTO). Search the USPTO trademark database before you use one. If you file, the base fee is $350 per class (USPTO fee schedule).
3. Does it work in your customers’ language?
When “Got Milk?” went to Spanish-speaking audiences, a direct translation, “¿Tienes leche?”, reads as “Are you lactating?”, so the campaign asked whether you’d given the kids milk today instead (University of Georgia professor, quoted 2008). If you serve Spanish speakers, write the Spanish line in Spanish. Spark’s Spanish slogan generator does that.
4. Say it out loud, then see it small
Read it to two people who don’t know your business. If they can repeat it and tell you what you do, it works. Then put it under your logo at the size of a business card. If it’s hard to read there, cut a word.

Questions people ask
Is the slogan generator free?
Yes. Describe your business and get six slogans, with no account and no email needed. You can run up to eight rounds a day.
How long should a slogan be?
Short enough to read at a glance on a van or a sign. Writing guides suggest 6 to 8 words at most (Mailchimp) or 7 (Marketing Donut). Research is mixed: one 2014 study found length didn't change how much people liked a slogan, while studies in 2013 and 2024 found length changes how well people remember it.
What's the difference between a slogan and a tagline?
Merriam-Webster lists the two words as synonyms, and the SAGE Encyclopedia of Public Relations says they're often used interchangeably. In practice, many brands use tagline for the lasting line that sits with the logo and slogan for a line that can change with each campaign.
Can I trademark my slogan?
In the U.S., a slogan can be a trademark if customers see it as pointing to your business. The USPTO refuses common phrases and plain information, and it often refuses slogans printed big across the front of a T-shirt as decoration. The base filing fee is $350 per class of goods or services. Search the USPTO database first and talk to a trademark attorney before you file.
Can I get slogans in Spanish?
Yes. Spark's generador de eslóganes writes slogans directly in Spanish instead of translating English ones.
