Literature review A literature review is a text written by someone to consider the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work. Definition of advertising tagline A tagline 'is an expression that is used for quick help to establish an image, identity, or position for an organization to increase the memorability' for a particular product. In case of Pepsi where because of the tagline the product is been easily recalled. A motto of advertising is something that is written to the memory of consumers and the potential to evoke memory, often repeated to promote memory recall and support consumers in terms of a recall particular brand of the patron when they meet with all options. "Taglines are expressions that convey the message brief and vivid and convincing to a mark"

Exploring previous studies on advertising taglines A lot of studies related to the effects of advertising taglines examined leading dignitaries. Memory and recognition are two key elements of memorability commonly used to assess notability leaders. A stream of research focused with regards to advertising taglines on consumers 'ability' to remember advertising slogans, or was interested in making advertising slogans memorable. For example (Dotson and Hyatt, 2000) stated that by the age of ten, children are aware of both the advertising taglines, like their parents. (Yalch, 1991) noted that it was easier for people to remember advertising taglines, when incorporated with jingle, a song or a melody. Similarly, Reece and Li Bergh (1994) found the expression of linguistic devices (quantity and type of characters), followed by slogans employed in better detection rate was well designed and branded to remember that the use of television was a significantly attached to the memory. On it, the age, significantly related to memory with young adults and the ability to better memory than that of older adults. Moreover, men have the memory capacity compared to the best of women. Furthermore, the correlation between complicacy advertising taglines and memory was examined. For example, (Bradley and Meeds, 2002) showed that the versions of simple syntax in favour of detection. The advertising slogan with the syntactic problem of transition has a very positive influence on the memory of morphemic free and attitudes towards advertising. Another current research examined the effects of the Tagline 'ignition'.

The importance of advertising taglines It is understood that one of the factors affecting brand awareness is important because the most valuable brand assets of the company. Each year, the global brand consulting firm Interbrands global Brand, generates weekly business reports which estimates the brand equity of the brands. The best brands around the world, estimated at tens of millions of dollars, and seriously do a major focus of enterprise management (Brady et.al, 2004 years and Cheranjeev, 2007 years). Meanwhile, the dollar's brand value is generally based on their ability to generate economic benefits. Brand is a high return on capital, and will in a competitive market conditions are not expected net profit divided. Brand equity is customer feedback and market knowledge of marketing, and its different effects. Therefore, the stock of differentiation is the core of the brand. If there is no differentiation, brand premium will not to acquire or make economic profits. In some cases, it easily lead to differences (eg, automobiles, breakfast cereals), while in other cases, it can be more challenging (such as gasoline, bottled water). In any case, the client should have sufficient brand Knowledge, forming a difference between brands. The two main factors affecting brand image is the brand awareness and knowledge of the brand. Mostly, brand Recall and brand Recognition are the general tip of the brand awareness. Recall of the brand is the consumers or the talent of the defendant to recall without any help of the brand. On the other hand, brand awareness is the auxiliary memory to identify a lighter task which is the ability of the defendant, from a list made available by the brand. Brand image normally values the type and strength of the union of the brand examining. It can be seen in the role to advertise taglines and other applications of the brand identity, brand awareness and brand image should increase and concern the row after knowledge of the brand. The practical implication of advertising tagline is a good study to check the market value of the society as results if they announce the change in tagline from brands. Research conducted by Mathur and Mathur (1995), established that the market value increase when there is a change of tagline. The authors concluded that in this growth phase, when the company announced to change the tagline only after considering and carefully taking into account their marketing and advertising strategies and develop fanying positive factors such as changes in demographics, consumer preference for new taglines and competitive environment. For instance, the change in tagline of Campbell Soup from M'm! M'm! Good to Do not underestimate the power of soup, gained extensive media coverage, as company tried to make soup more applicable to everyday life. Although it is not guaranteed that the change in the advertising tagline may or may not increase the company's market value, but it believes that as the intention of marketing department is clear, it is enough to influence and create a media buzz. For example, the change in the tagline of Campbell soup from the "M'm ! M'm! Good" to "Do not underestimate the power of soup," received extensive media coverage, and was trying to make soup more applicable to daily life. While it is not assured that long lasting impact of change in tagline may or may not increase the market value of company, but it consider as a clear intentions of the marketing department, enough to influence by creating a media buzz

Research Methodology While making a study we very often look for what type of research methodology is to be used in this type of study.
