Question: Kiss My (Vegan) Grits

BE ADEQUITE — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:20:28 -0800

Need a tagline for my (vegan) catering/baking business cards!

For a friend:

We are putting together her business cards; she's a kick-ass vegan chef/baker/caterer and wants an appropriately classy/daring/funny/interesting line on her card that will introduce people to her services.

I've seen these kind of questions before on AskMe, but the Vegan angle may present new creative wrinkles. Fire away, you creative copywriting maniacs!

- No legs good!
- Our food kicks ass ... metaphorically.
- Sugar and spice and everything rice: that's what big girls cook with.
- Raw, raw, sis boom bah!
- YAM I AM. YO SOY.

Your friends won't have to ask, "is this vegan?"

Everything we make is kind and healthy.

Also, it would help if you would tell us the name of your company.

I think you want to steer away from blood and gore and emphasize that the food is really good. Maybe something like:

Vegan for the animals. Tasty for the humans.

I definitely think that even mentioning animals or animal products on the cards, even in the context of explaining that you avoid them, is no go. The people you're giving cards to know what Vegan is, you don't need to paint them a picture or invoke images of the products they are interested in avoiding.

I'd go with something that emphasizes the quality of your goods. "Comfort food with soul." "The best tasting, whichever way you lean."

Stuff like that.
