Tanzania Company Name And Slogan?

I am highly in need of both name and slogan for new company to be established with the following details:

  • Specialization: The company will manage and operate various sister businesses and services. For example it will own and operate airlines, shuttles, taxis, hospitals, schools, universities, hotels, hostels, mobile communication, cafes, technologies, etc. Hence, is like very general company name. God has given me enough money to start it
  • Location: The head office will be in Tanzania, but will operate through out Africa and beyond
  • Nature of name: very short and brief, easy to memorize. If possible only 2-3 vowels rhyme
  • Slogan: the best

Corporate Meeting eNewsletter Value Statement

I am creating an eNewsletter for a resort targeting the corporate retreat business. With this economy they would like to focus on Value. But also focus on the fact that the company will gain actionable results from the off site retreat.

###

Jay’s Answer: You need a reason for people to choose to have their meetings at your site, not just off-site.

If they’ve been to your resort before, tell them how other business owners have benefited from your business services (testimonials). I’m sure you have great food, beautiful rooms, and an attentive staff — and so does your competition. What does your resort offer that they can’t get (easily) in your area?

Consider making your e-newsletter tip-based, for example: http://www.allbusiness.com/human-resources/employee-development-leadership/11139-1.html

Position yourself not just as a host, but also a facilitator of effective/memorable meetings.

A Tagline For An Independent Bookstore

I own a small independent bookstore named Fiction Addiction. We carry new & used books for kids & adults, including fiction & some nonfiction. We have paperbacks, hardcovers, and some gift items.

  • We’ve Got 10,0000 Cures!
  • The Community Reading/Gathering Place
  • Shop Locally. Read Globally.

How To Brand My Real Estate Practice?

I need to develop a branding platform. My personal and professional mission statement is to impact and improve the lives of others. In my real estate practice I have developed excellent systems and endeavor to bring real value by active listening, solid follow through, great communication, known power partners as service providers. My question is how to develop a tag line that conveys my sincerity, passion of service, value, etc without sounding cheesy or salesy?

###

Jay’s Answer: The key for any tagline is that it needs to appeal to a benefit that your target market cares about. As a real estate professional, it’s assumed that you’re honest, sincere, available, etc. That’s not so unique. So you need to dig deeper about what your really offer people. You think you know – but ask those that chose to work with you in the past. Why did they choose you over your competitors? What would they say about the best reason to recommend/refer you to others. Start there.

A Tagline For A Experiential Training Business?

My training/consulting business has had very good, not great, success over the past 10 years. The business is growing and we need a tagline for our website as well as marketing materials that support our face-to-face presentations in front of decision makers (corporate, educational, governmental organizations). We provide professional team-building experiences using challenge courses, active-learning workshops (as opposed to “sit n git” lectures) that occur on-site or off. We are experts in train-the-trainer programs as well as delivering direct services to clients who want to energize their teams, learn more about formal team-building, explore leadership topics, or focus on helping teams move from good to great.

A Tagline For An Indian Market?

I need a tagline for a niche market for Indian Market . My restaurant sells an Indian cuisine.There are many competitors around. And our point of difference is we deliver more quality food and friendly service.

###

Jay’s Answer: A tagline should reflect a unique benefit you offer your clientele. “Quality food” and “friendly service” are expected in any restaurant/market, and therefore you can’t build a strong tagline from it. Here are some ideas to get you thinking:

  • The Friendliest Restaurant With The Best Food.
  • Delicious Food Served With A Smile
  • Almost As Good As Your Mother’s Cooking

A Tagline For My Life Coaching Business?

This is not career counseling. It is life coaching.
