Two Customer Types Taglines for products and brands are everywhere, but often they don’t get the attention they deserve. A variety of research shows that one phrase slogans can have a profound effect on how customers see the product.

If I gave you $50 with the following two choices, what would you do? Keep $30. Gamble, with a 50/50 chance of keeping or losing the whole $50. An experimenter posed that question to subjects, and found that 43% of the subjects chose to gamble. Then the options were changed to:

Which is scarier – undergoing a potentially fatal surgical procedure that has a 95% survival rate, or one that causes death in 1 out of 20 patients? If you are like most people, you would find the latter statistic far more worrisome, even though mathematically the two statements are the same. A variety of research [...]
