The Skinny: Solution Taglines
By: Steve Robins
A major part of solution marketing is, well, marketing the solution. And a very small part of marketing (tongue in cheek) is the tagline. Actually, the tagline is not really so small.

But do taglines really matter for solutions? If you want to attract attention, create interest, and have folks remember your solution, taglines can definitely help.
