Corporate Happiness Slogans are Everywhere According to Study by ruHap, The Happiness Company

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 6, 2010 - Happiness slogans are everywhere for consumers these days as major corporations take advantage of the world's focus on Happiness since Positive Psychology (Happiness) became a formal body of science in 1998.  With the faltering economy and a less optimistic environment in general, Happiness is all the rage with companies trying to link their products to a more buoyant attitude in their customers.

Coke is perhaps the most famous, introducing "Open Happiness" in 2009 as only their 11th slogan since being founded in 1886. Coke spends over $750 million per year on advertising in the U.S. alone with the "Open Happiness" slogan as their centerpiece.

Major companies using Happiness in their advertising and marketing campaigns include:

1) Coca Cola:  Open Happiness
2) Lay's (a unit of Pepsico): The Happiness Exhibit
3) Unilver: Share Happy
4) Best Buy: Buyer Be Happy
5) Ben & Jerry's: Scoop of Happiness
6) City of Baltimore: Find Your Happy Place in Baltimore
7) Nivea: a) Happy Sensation Lotion; and b) Touch of Happiness Body Wash
8) Golden Coral: Help Yourself to Happiness
9) French's Mustard: Happy Starts here
10) Adidas: 2010 FIFA World Cup Soccer Ball is Named Jabulani (Share Happiness in Zulu)
11) Rita's: a) Ice - Custard - Happiness; and b) What Flavor is Your Happiness?
12) Hershey's Chocolate: Hershey's makes S'more happiness.
13) Comcast: Happiness is Only a Power Button Away
14) IHOP: Come Hungry, Leave Happy
15) Edible Arrangements: Happiness is Always in Season

Dozens of smaller companies are also using Happiness in their marketing including Gregory's Box'd Beverages (7 Reasons to be Happy), and of course, ruHap, The Happiness Company http://ruhap.com/.

Following it's analysis ruHap, The Happiness Company http://ruhap.com/ expects this trend to continue for at least the foreseeable future as more companies are joining the Happiness movement, while none have yet moved on to other slogans and messages.
