Afterword: What Good Are Slogans?
A well-worded slogan can energize people by appealing to their emotions, values, and aspirations. Elements of a slogan that contribute to its effectiveness include:
- Emotional Appeal: Slogans that trigger emotions like excitement, hope, inspiration, empathy, or a sense of urgency can cause us to take action.
- Relevance: A slogan should be relevant to the audience and the context in which it is used. That happens when it address people's concerns, interests, and needs.
- Memorability: Good slogans are catchy and easy to remember. They are thus likely to stick in our minds and influence our behavior over time.
- Call to Action: An effective slogan often includes a clear call to action that causes people to do something specific. That may be joining a movement, giving money, or praying and lobbying for change.
- Positive Association: Slogans that transmit positive messages or associations tend to be the most effective in encouraging people to believe their involvement in a cause can make a difference.
