Hi,

  I'm about to submit an advertisement in the Yellow Pages for Weight Control (using EFT and NLP).   I was thinking about saying something like "Weight Control  Emotional Eating"   and then on the next line say something like  "Because Diets Simply Don't Work".

  Since I'm only allowed 2 lines in my installment, do you think I'm being too negative with the "Diets don't work" part?     I do feel that this is a true statement.  And everyone else who advertises in this section have diet programs.   I would like others to  understand that my approach is different.

I appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks.
Ed

Hi Ed,

It is challenging to have to put it all in a few words. I like "Proven Results" as there are plenty of people here on this board who will agree to that.

I agree with you about the "dont'" thing. You want something that will uplift someone when the read it and feel postive and encouraged.

I wish you all the best and let us know what you go with.

 Hi Ed,

 Welcome to the forum.  I often use the fact that diets don't work in my marketing and I point to the April 2007 composite study done at UCLA proving that. However you may also want to mention that this is a non diet approach to eating.

You may also get some great ideas by posting on the Practitioner's forum and asking for some guidance. 

Hope that helps. 

Warmest regards,

Andrea 

Thanks Diana and Andrea.

  I'm also working on a new business card. 

  I'm still debating whether to say "Weight Loss", "Lose Weight", or "Weight Control"

Thanks.

 how about something like "achieve and maintain your perfect weight"???

Hi Ed,

My experience tell me that using the words, Lose and loss do not attract the greatest of successes. I would strongly urge you to use other words that have a higher vibration and speak to the desired outcome, rather than the negative condition. 

I like slim down, get thinner, slenderize. Those are a few of my favorites.

Now I'd like to strongly suggest that you also find guidance in the Practitioner's forum. This forum is not technically the best place for you to get this type of support. 

Have you already made an inquiry requesting ideas on the Practitioner's forum?

It would be a very beneficial move since they really can give you the best information. This forum is geared toward supporting those who are seeking weight control support, not advertising to help those seeking that support.

As co-moderator on this board, I would deeply appreciate it if you would take steps to migrate this discussion to the correct forum where you can get the help and support you seek.

I also want to make it clear to you that as a professional, we are deeply appreciative of your expertise and welcome your support in helping those seeking guidance. Thank you for being a part of this forum and for offering yourself as a resource. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Warmest regards,

Andrea
