Memorial Day slogan tips and suggestions
Before we get into the slogans themselves, let’s review a few things to think about when creating your Memorial Day messaging.
First, always keep the meaning of the day in mind. While Memorial Day has taken on lighter connotations—it’s a long holiday weekend and the unofficial start of summer—it is ultimately a day to honor those who died serving our country. Be respectful as you craft any marketing slogans.
This message from a sheet music vendor honors the meaning of the holiday while tying it back into their sales message.
Memorial Day is also an opportunity to lean into the benefits of seasonal marketing. Slogans that are built around a timely event or holiday give you the opportunity to do something different to catch your audience’s eye.
Seasonal marketing can also create a sense of urgency and FOMO among your prospects and customers. The three-day sale you run over the course of the holiday weekend, for example, can motivate consumers to make an immediate purchase.
