YellowPages.com: We Wrote the Book on Local Search

Good Slogan

Faithful Good/Bad readers will know I love a good pun. In this case, I admire how AT&T subtlely reminds you that they're not your father's yellow pages (ahh, Oldsmobile... now that was a good slogan!)

YellowPages.com has a long ways to go before anyone thinks of them before Google but I give them props for playing to their strengths. I must admit, AT&T has come up with some good slogans lately (Your World Delivered, Raising the Bar...) You might say they're writing the book on effective slogans writing.

I'll agree with the analysis of the slogan, but I have to ask, can you have a good slogan for a bad marketing campaign? The "Not Your Father's Oldsmobile" campaign is widely credited with driving the brand into the ground (pun intended) because it alienated the core customer base. What do you think?

Great point, Matt. As I just said in my response to a GM rep's comments on the Saturn slogan, a good slogan cannot stand alone. Apparently it can help cloud your memory of how bad a product or an ad campaign was, though,

Mommy and Daddy will need to bring identification (drivers license, passport), and baby's birth certificate is required. Think about this - what would happen if you ignored your clients, or children, or friends. Both book and card passports are good for 10 years.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog.
Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues?
A few of my blog visitors have complained about my

Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?

(Click here to learn more about overtraining) This
step also includes motivation and dedication. A
meal plan can be very detailed and it can be tied to eating great things like fish and nuts to eat.
Make sure your kitchen is fully stocked with the foods you
need to eat.

It is unfortunate that most men avoid wearing ties
now because of the discomfort factor. Bunches of cables could be a headache otherwise correctly tied.

The classic sophistication is a consistent character that bow ties
evoke.
