OK.. now as an health and wellness advocate, I see from other marketers in other businesses, whether it’s a special juice or supplements, using these articles to try to make a point. But as I marketer, I don’t want to scare people into buying products, because too many ppl will see it as a scam. But I’ve seen too many infomercials using this bird flu thing coming, for their products, books, articles, ezines, etc.
So my question is for people not in the health industry, what are your feelings about this?Do you feel it’s just a scare tactic to sell?Did this strategy work for you to join a biz or buy a product?Do you even believe this will happen this summer, whether you’re a health advocate or not?
I want to make sure this is cool for my downline to use.. is it too strong? Like, TRY MY PRODUCTS FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM OR YOU WILL BE DEAD BY SEPTEMBER..LOL
No I think it is a real threat possibility.
No it is not.
I think you should get off the crack
im not sure but it is scary thinking about it….cuz alot of people dont keep themselves clean and they are the ones to most likely getting the bird flu.
I don’t think it’s a scare tactic at all. It may or may not happen. Most of our local health agencies are working with our City Leaders to develop a strategy to cope with a pandemic. Would I personally buy a product advertised to reduce my chances of contracting an unknown disease? Nope. I see this flu scare as an opportunity for all the commercial slimy worms to try to sell their products. Scared people do strange things.
I feel that i had to answer this question. I am not technically in the health industry, however I am studying for a degree in Microbiology and Immunology in Leicester, England. The subject of Bird Flu has been bouncing around the department now for at least 2 years. There is a potential and serious risk of bird flu mutating, but there are very few products that are going to be useful. For example, tamiflu is the drug being pushed into maximum production and lawded as being our saviour. It is only a generic antiflu drug, and may be useless. Bird flue is one small step away from transmitting from human to human and has the potential to kill 1 in 12 world wide, but too many companies have seen this concern as a chance to make money. There are almost no useful drugs or products as of yet. Will it happen this summer? It may already have and we just dont know yet…..
