What's your slogan or catch phrase?


I was just curious if anyone still used slogans out there? For me, I use my company name "Mudman Contracting" with "get plastered". I find people get a kick out of it and never forget it.

I have shirts I made with the following catch phrases;

No, paint won't cover it...
I screw all day (with picture of drywall screw) (credit to my helper for that one)
A good taper can make the worst carpenter look good...

Anybody else have anything?

Re: What's your slogan or catch phrase?


I used to use advertisement that read '' getting quality drywall shouldn't be like pulling teeth".
I tried getting my wife to let me put a picture of her in a bikini on my van as advertisement. She said no. All the better anyway the only people who would hire me then would be old hprny men and lesbians.

Re: What's your slogan or catch phrase?


I worked in a town up North once, where one company called it self "speedy drywall" and the other company called itself" 24 hour drywall"

I guess if speedy drywall don't meet you needs that day, you could call in 24 hour drywall that NIGHT

Re: What's your slogan or catch phrase?


One problem with a lot of humour type names, slogans, is that they might get a smile or a laugh, but unless used carefully, they can help turn some people off to actually buying.

In math, 2 negatives equal a positive. Maybe that's what boco is shooting for ?

In marketing, if you admit to a negative, the customer(s) will more likely accept/more likely 'give you' a positive claim that you might make (Mike from TT could've used that one to have 'dampened' the China thing on the Columbia vs. TapeTech brand wars thread, and even have put a positive spin on it).

I like that as well. 'Classy' humour.

Well said. I don't want to be associated with some cutesy catchphrase. Being reduced to a slogan. When the 100th person repeated it back to me as if it were clever, I'd be throwing up on them.
