JUST PUNCH IT

Business is a catchy affair!! Glamorizing business certainly helps to boost the profits. The best way to glamorize is Punchline. Before anyone could think of what you want to sell, your punchline should convey the message. Sometimes, a punchline makes a lot of difference in selling of a product in the most unconventional market. If I think of selling a Deodrant in a cold country, how would I sell it through a punchline?? I might market it something as “ Let the Fragrance matter more than the Odour”. This simple punchline solves two issues:
1)Deodrants should not only be used as a Odour removing spray.
2)And, your deodrant’s fragrance is too sensual.

Sometimes, a catchy punchline conveys your organization’s vision and mission.Sometimes its easy to differentiate a product's target market just by seeing the punchline for e.g.
Kingfisher:Fly with the good times
Deccan Airlines:Simplyfly

Deccan is an airlines for masses and Kingfisher for Classes.For a common man, there can nothing be more attractive than "Simplyfly" and for the men of class,they obviously fly with the King and its always a good feeling with Kingfisher.A punchline conveys more than a product use or value.It reflects sometimes an organization's culture.Just make your product near to your customer just by saying "LOCAL" wherever they are in the world.A simple punchline just convey the organization's message accurately.Nike-"Just do it"-There is no other better way to boost the self-confidence the way Nike has put through their famous Punchline. Thus the ad line simply communicates that using Nike can improve your performance by enhancing the self-confidence.IBM ThinkPad- " I think, therefore IBM"-Here IBM tries to say that if you have the capacity to think then you should go for IBM ThinkPad, the Punchline exactly conveys the message.

So,ready to punch!!!
