How to Write a Tagline for Beginners: Draft Lines in 5 Patterns, Pick One with Stamps

A small shop's promotion owner uses this beginner tagline template to settle one line for a flyer, social post, or in-store POP, alone or with a team, in about a week. Page 1 decides who you are talking to and what to say, gathers customer pains, voices, and checked numbers, and turns product features into customer gains. Page 2 drafts four lines for each of 5 patterns (a number, a question, before and after, a direct call, a surprise). Page 3 places circle stamps, checks the top 4, and picks one. Page 4 sets where it runs, who owns it, and the deadline, then compares reactions before and after posting. The task board has five columns (gathering material, drafting lines, narrowing down, live, reviewed) with 4 parent tasks and 3 subtasks each. Members of a private team can write together. Use only numbers you have really checked, and words like 'best' or 'always' only with proof.
