Alvin Eicoff’s Formula:
Alvin Eicoff, a well-regarded marketing guru has a formula for writing promotional text.
- State the Problem
- Explain the Solution
- Demonstrate how your specific service best provides the solution
These three things must be accomplished in as clear, clever and concise a way possible. Most marketing experts suggest as little text as possible in your materials to get your message across so as not to confuse the buyers’ eyes.
I am sure you are using multiple ways to market your fitness business through online resources, word of mouth referrals, press releases and local promotions and partners. Before you push “publish” on any of them make sure you are using power words, you are being clear and that you are brief!
Yours in health, fitness & business,
