Default Tagline Help, Please!
I have been in business since March, but have always thought I needed a tagline and haven't been able to come up with one for myself. I seem to be able to help others...but when it is for me, I just don't seem to get anywhere.

I am running an ad in the local shopper and would really like something that would catchy but not too corny. I have had success in this paper before, but want to add something new to catch other's eye.

My business name is Blue Water Business Services. I offer Bookkeeping and Administrative Support, but don't do Income Taxes.

I would appreciate any help you all are willing to provide.

Thanks!

I'm horrible at these things....

If you're pretty much paperless you can jump on the "green" bandwagon:

"Go green BlueWater style" or something like that.

I told you I was horrible! I always go for the obvious!

Maybe something w/some variation of "Smooth Sailing" in it?

or

"Keeping your business on an even keel"

Yeah, I pretty much stink at this, too.

Hi Angie,

Following the idea that Lily started I came up with this idea.

We Keep Your Business Sailing Smooth

I also have trouble with this one and have changed mine a few times. I hope each change is a improvement.

Hey Angie,
My brain isn't working very well, too exhausted from sick 4 yr old and sick hubby.
I looked at your site and between the name and your colors I keep thinking the word "calm".
With this time of year, holidays and end of year business stuff, CALM would be a good thing.
Good Luck!

Here's my input:

"Your business got the 'blues' - let Blue Water come to your rescue!"

"Let Blue Water Business Services help you shake your business "blues!"

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. I am leaning towards Lily and Ruth's suggestion about smooth sailing or even keel...now to make a decision. I really appreciate all the help everyone is willing to provide on this forum! You guys are all GREAT!
