"Powering the way, come what may"

[chris day]

My girlfriend said she does not like my new strapline... so i thought id ask some bloody blokes what they think.

Think slogan.

Slogan is what I mean by strapline yes chaps

Personally I don't like it.

I might not be one to judge though as we don't have one!

 

[Dave OCD]

The clue is in the thread title

 

[static zap]

Think slogan.

Have I missed it , the slogan .
Or is it one of those "catchy words or the day"
beats a brain worm from local radio-Jocks!
...oh Now the title makes sense ...
I'm Empowered ... (went out of fashon 22 years ago )

 

[sparkdog]

I think that could get confused with the PM Mrs "May."

Title of the thread

Mmmmh! If we tell you what we think will you tell your missus the truth?

 

[Rpa07]

I still like the Ribena advert - zibbidu, zibbidu, zibbidu, zibbidu zibbidubidubidu! Ahh!
Perhaps that could be the slogan - just change a couple of letters so you don't get into copyright issues!

 

[Rpa07]

Plumber near me, on his van has -
"When your boiler goes down, we turn up" NAF!

It's got to be good or not at all.

 

[sparkdog]

Bit like an ad for ever ready batteries.

 

[westward10]

Never tell others your problems because 10% don't care and 90% are glad you have them.

Is that your suggestion for an alternative strapline?

 

[Richard Burns]

I would say that it is slightly too long and takes time to interpret, the rhyme is OK.
You could probably shorten it to "powering the way" or powering the way forward.
It seems similar to "power to you, is what we do".
Having a strapline that promises no restriction on providing solutions could be a risk.
Generally acceptable and would be mostly ignored, unfortunately, but it may also be better than not having a tagline.

 

[chris day]

Thanks for all your comments guys I think it's naff as well, glad I never put it on uniforms and vans else it would be like the tattoo you wish you never had

 

[Leyland30]

How about loosing the last bit, keep ' powering the way'.

Less is more sometimes ...

 

[Resu]

On a similar note, maybe a little play on words - "Powering your ohm"?

Ohm no!

 

[telectrix]

was the word strapline that threw me. thought OP was referring to his bra.

 

[telectrix]

Ohm no!

ohm y god.

Saw a domestic electricians van the other day, his said 'Ohme Electrics', see what he did

Incidentally, Chris, I don't think this is an appropriate place to be discussing what sexual toys you and her indoors use

Sparks Won't Fly and Down To Earth are two really bad taglines I have thought of using in the past. Glad I haven't! Electric Avenue (from the song) is another one. Marginally more keen on that one but will still never use it. I agree with others to keep the first bit only. Would possibly make you sound like an energy provider though. My (rubbish) name - NDG - attracted a spate of (idiots) a while back who got my number off Google. Had around six different callers over a two week period asking about changing from their current supplier and tariff! Think they were all confusing NDG with eNeRGy and thinking I was a supplier. My advice would be keep it short and simple. Really really long website names spring to mind. Imagine trying to remember www.northeastelectricalcontractorsalarmsandsecurity.com! Who the hell could be bothered to remember that, never mind type it onto your computer! But I often see overly long web and email addresses.
