Yes times are slow for the majority of businesses in the U.S. and people are stressed about their jobs, their bills, their homes, and even their stress. That’s why it is so strange to me that we aren’t selling more stress relievers!
If there ever was a perfect product for a perfect time, this is it. Here’s some examples of stress items that would work well now and some suggested tag lines for them:
Toilet stress reliever – “If your sales are in the toilet, let us dump some of our great marketing ideas on you.”
Bread – “Hey brother I’m just trying to avoid the bread line here, could you throw a little biz our way?”
“America we do have the strength to get through this!”
“Spanish spoken here” or maybe “We cater to immigrants”
“Let us be your super hero”, or “You don’t have to be a super hero to do business with us.”
Okay, they call these stress relievers, but I don’t get that because they just make me angry. So a tagline for this I’d have to say, “w*#!*&#@!”
I’ve actually use this one with the line “Get a hold of the idea man”. I had clients call me and ask for more because people were stealing them off their desk!
There’s others too:
- Brain stress reliever – “Let’s think our way out of this downturn!”
- Hot dog or hamburger on a bun – for a job applicant – “I need to eat.”
- Saxophone – “Got the sales blues? Call us to fix that.”
- Tractor trailer rig – “We’ve got a truckload of ideas (or savings)”
And finally, I hope if these ideas aren’t useful to your business, at least they brought a 
your way today!
