Building your brand in eight words or less: that's the challenge of the tagline. Many of you took part in Nancy Schwartz's nonprofit tagline survey, and now Nancy has released the report.
A couple of the many interesting tidbits:
- Taglines are just like websites -- everybody hates their own! 72% of nonprofits rate their taglines as poor or don't have one at all.
- 75% of human services agencies have taglines, but only 30% of environmental nonprofits do. Maybe enviro groups don't want to waste the ink?
The part of the report I love best is the "The Ten Have-Tos," a really great checklist for evaluating your own tagline. The report can't write your tagline for you, but it can help you think through your next one with a little more clarity.
