In [[entertainment]], a '''tagline'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tagline definition and meaning |url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tagline |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210429083052/https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tagline |archive-date=2021-04-29 |access-date=2025-07-10 |website=Collins Dictionary |language=en |url-status=live }}</ref> (alternatively spelled '''tag line'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tag line definition and meaning |url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tag-line |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170712045034/https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tag-line |archive-date=2017-07-12 |access-date=2025-07-10 |website=Collins Dictionary |language=en |url-status=live }}</ref>) is a short text which serves to clarify a thought for, or is designed with a form of, [[Dramatic convention|dramatic effect]]. Many [[slogan|tagline slogan]]s are [[Repetition (rhetorical device)|reiterated]] [[phrase]]s [[Association (psychology)|associate]]d with an [[individual]], [[social group]], or [[Product (business)|product]]. As a variant of a [[Advertising slogan|branding slogan]], taglines can be used in [[marketing]] materials and [[advertising]].

The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable dramatic phrase that will sum up the [[Tone (literature)|tone]] and [[premise]] of an [[Multimedia|audio/visual]] product,{{efn|Such as a [[movie film]] or a television [[brand]]}} or to [[Reinforcement|reinforce and strengthen]] the audience's [[memory]] of a [[Literature|literary product]]. Some taglines are successful enough to warrant inclusion in [[popular culture]].

==Name==
''Tagline'', ''tag line'', and ''tag'' are American terms. In the U.K. they are called ''end lines'', ''endlines'', or ''straplines''. In Belgium they are called ''baselines''. In France they are ''signatures''. In Germany they are ''claims''. In the Netherlands and Italy, they are ''pay offs'' or ''pay-off''.

==Organizational usage==
{{clarify|text=Referral networking organizations|date=January 2025}} may encourage taglines to be used as the conclusion to an introduction by each attendee. The purpose would be to make the introduction and that speaker more memorable in the minds of the other attendees after the meeting is over. Other terms for taglines are "memory hooks" and "USP" or "Unique Selling Proposition" which is a more commonly known term.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Misner |first=Ivan |date=1996-10-01 |title=Seven Second Marketing |isbn=978-1885167156}}{{Page needed|date=July 2025}}</ref>

===Difference from headlines===
{{further|Headline}}
The tagline is sometimes confused with a headline because information is only presented with the one or the other. Essentially the headline is linked to the information; Once the information changes, the headline is abandoned in favor of a new one. The tagline is related to the entertainment piece and can, therefore, appear on all the information of that product or manufacturer. It is linked to the piece and not to the concept of a specific event. If the sentence is presented next to a logo, as an integral part, it is likely to be a tagline.

==Function==
A tagline is sometimes used as a supplementary expression in promoting a motion picture or television program.{{efn|Another type of summary of a movie plot is the [[log line]].}} It is an explanatory subtitle, in addition to the actual title, on posters or the CD/DVD packaging of videos and music. Taglines can have an enticing effect and are therefore an important aspect in the marketing of films and television programs. Increasingly also found in the advertising world, taglines are a form of advertising slogan.{{efn|Taglines condense the conceptual message in a memorable sentence.}} A tagline for the movie series Star Wars, for example:
: ''Tagline'': "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." – ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]''<ref>{{cite web

===E-texts===
[[Website]]s also often have taglines. The [[Usenet]] use taglines as short description of a newsgroup. The term is used in computing to represent [[aphorisms]], [[Maxim (saying)|maxim]]s, [[graffiti]] or other slogans.

In [[electronic text]]s, a ''tag'' or ''tagline'' is short, concise sentences in a row that are used when sending [[e-mail]] instead of an [[electronic signature]].  The tagline is used in computing with the meaning of a "signature" to be affixed at the end of each message. In the late eighties and early nineties, when the amateur computer network [[FidoNet]] began to flourish, the messages that were exchanged between users often had a tag-line, which was no longer than 79 characters, containing a brief phrase (often [[wit]]ty or [[humor]]ous).
