Health And Wellness Plan » 2008 » August
Are you leaving a lot of money on the table when it comes to your marketing efforts? If you’re like a lot of business owners, you do a great job of focusing on the daily business of running a business, but you may not see the goldmine of money-making opportunities available to you. Here are 3 easy ways that you can kick up your health and wellness marketing campaign and see results almost immediately.
Take names. If you promote your products or services on a website, make sure that you have an opt-in box clearly visible on your website. Don’t forget to add a statement to reassure website visitors that you won’t share their names with third parties. If you primarily conduct business in a storefront or office, take that old, outdated computer that you’ve stored in the closet and place it in a visible area where your clients or customers have free access to it. Give them an incentive to sign-up for your mailing list. There’s no need to pressure them. Just place a sign beside the computer, offer a free product or discount in exchange for their names, and allow them to do it themselves.
Health and wellness are two of the most popular themed MLM businesses these days. The latest trend is for people to be very interested and concerned with their health and well-being. While the huge population of baby boomers move towards their golden years there is an incredible surge in the demand for products to keep people young and healthy. The health and wellness themes lend themselves well to this type of marketing.
Health products that deal with a myriad of health problems are going to be in high demand. The same holds true for wellness products, products that help to keep the body free from disease. There are many products currently available with more coming onto the market every day. When evaluating a health product keep in mind the demand as well as the benefits. Research the amount of people that may potentially benefit from the product. If the product is too much of a niche item marketing will be harder and more expensive. If the product has more universal appeal it will be easier to market and sell.
Such factors can include her family, the relationships she has – her spiritual values and her work environment. Beyond this she is also affected by her position in the community. The reason why women’s health is different to men’s health is due to the fact that women react differently to disease.
The key to a woman improving her health lies in understanding the factors which affect her. The emphasis ought to be on preventative health and engaging in education on how best to have a healthy lifestyle.
In the past, life was very difficult for women. The ability to talk openly about various issues was difficult especially relative to reproduction. Society in those days was less open and there was an underlying fear of how a woman was viewed. Many women became mothers and wives at a very young age. There were many pregnancies some of which were wanted and others which were not.
Back then childbirth itself was challenging and many women died while giving birth.
Here we will give you a common sense plan to enhance male sexual wellness and increase libido and sex drive naturally, by combating all the major causes of low libido….
You of course need to have some basics in place first and they are a healthy diet with lots of energy foods – lean meat, vegetables and fruit. You are what you eat, you don’t have to live like a monk but this is must. If you smoke drink heavily or take recreational drugs – cut them down or even better stop!
Now we need to look at adding some herbs which can attack some of the key causes of low libido which are listed below:
- Not Enough Nitric Oxide
This chemical is needed to get an erection in the first place – if you don’t have enough you won’t get one. Its function is to relax the blood vessels of the penis to allow a rush of blood to get in and create an erection.
- Not Enough Testosterone
You probably know this already and you need to top up levels if there low.
You may be surprised at the discussions you’d have with a wellness coach. You are more likely to talk about what inspires you, your wellness vision, your personal goals and your dreams and aspirations than you are to talk about the breakfast you had last week. Now, be clear that this is not psychoanalysis. A coach acknowledges the varied background, successes, setbacks and triumphs you’ve had in the past, but that is water under the bridge. Be prepared to talk action, to develop a plan, to build accountability structures and to think through real life ways you can be successful with your goals
With the varied background you’ll find with coaches, you’ll notice that each has a unique methodology, philosophy and personality. We all express ourselves differently. If you are considering a coach, make sure to interview your prospective colleague to see if you believe you can reach your goals working with this person. If not, perhaps the coach is not right for you, or perhaps you’d be better off hiring a consultant that guide you and point you in the right direction.
You may or may not have heard of wellness coaching – its a field of health and wellness that is new, exciting, and rapidly evolving. While not everyone knows what a wellness coach is today (similar to the what I suspect people knew of personal trainers 30 years ago), I envision that in another 10 years the term and understanding of the profession will be widespread.
While the term itself may be common in a decade, I suspect that the background and knowledge of wellness coaches will be every bit as varied as those we currently see in any industry that requires a certification rather than a four year degree. I say that not to knock the background and qualifications of most wellness coaches (many are RN’s, personal trainers, registered dietitians, competitive athletes, or other medical professionals), its just to say that the your coach may have a very unique and particular background which may make him or her a good fit or not to work with you.
Why would I hire a coach and not another industry professional?
What is health and wellness network marketing? It is a most perfect concept! It gives you the chance to offer your prospect the chance of meeting the three most important needs in their life: health, wealth, and happiness!
So this all sounds great but how do you choose what company will do this?
It is true that there are literally hundreds of different health and wellness network marketing businesses popping up all the time. They offer a wide variety of products from non toxic household cleaners to supplements. The key in choosing the best company for you is that they must have life changing consumable products that are unique and different.
Before even looking at the products make sure you determine they are coming from a sound business. When you are looking at joining a new company, pay close attention to the time they have been in business. If you are looking to build long term income it is better to stick with a company that has at least a five year track record. Check out the company’s management, finances, and compensation plan.
Wellness visit:
Some health insurance plans include an annual wellness visit as part of their preventive care benefits. A wellness visit is usually an annual physical. Typically, it is not covered by your copay unless the plan specifically states that it does. This is where people get into problems. They don’t know that there is a difference between a wellness visit and a sickness visit. Consequently, they end up having to pay $200 to $400 for the wellness visit. Don’t rely on your doctor to give you a heads up. They don’t know what your insurance plan covers.
Of course, the insurance company wants to make sure that you stay healthy. It is good for you to get the physical because many times, some abnormality if caught early can save time, money, and perhaps your life. They want to catch changes in your health early because it could potentially cost them less in claims.
Sickness visit:
A sickness visit is covered by your copay. If you wake up one morning and have a sore throat or the flu, you may feel that you need to see the doctor. Since you are sick, this should be covered by your copay.
Worksite wellness for their employees, employers are discovering, is good for the health of their businesses as well. Health and wellness programs help to cut the costs associated with poor employee health, which include absenteeism, loss of productivity and poor work quality.
A recent Hewitt Associates survey of over 500 US companies indicated a significant paradigm shift in how companies view health benefits for their employees. Of those surveyed this year, 88% are committed to instituting long-term health care assistance programs (over the next 3-5 years) for their employees, with the goal of boosting the health and productivity of their workforce. This represents a 25% increase in interest in worksite wellness programs over 2007.
A strong offering of health and wellness programs to meet the demand has resulted. Health assistance providers have broadened their programs with tools that address general lifestyle factors, physical, social and psychological health factors. Programs look to predict chronic disease in their employees and give them the tools and the information to prevent it. Companies also demand a way to measure the effectiveness of their healthcare spending.
