What Are The Top 5 Health Problems For Marketing Purposes?

[Steven Wagenheim]

Okay, if you had to list the top 5 health problems for marketing purposes,
what would they be?

Here is my list.

1. High Cholesterol
2. High Blood Pressure
3. Asthma & Allergies
4. Impotence
5. Acne

Agree, disagree?

Anything you'd like to add?

There is a reason I'm asking and after I get enough responses, we're
all going to do a little keyword research (okay, I'll do it) and see what
interesting things we come up with.

When we're all done, you'll see where I'm going with this.

This should be fun.

Good one Jay. As somebody who is starting to see early signs, yeah, I can
believe that.

[SKWeaver]

OK... stop the laughter... but if you're after buyers who are desperate for a solution, think about hemorrhoids (well, don't actually think about them, that's a little disgusting, but maybe consider adding them to your list)

macular degeneration

[Voasi]

migraines, headaches, chronic pain... right off the top of my head.

For marketing I would say:

1). Low energy - feeling tired all the time
2). Impotence
3). Constipation/incontinence
4). Heart health
5). Skin care

I have a health food store and those are my top selling product categories.

Yes it is an offline health food store, but over 70% of sales come from my online advertising and marketing.

My instinctive reaction was to want to add arthritis and diabetes to your list of five, really.

Macular degeneration a little less so, I think, because most people barely even know what it is and there certainly won't be any relevant products anyway!

Good Lord,

This list sounds like they used me as a test subject.

I should be writing more articles...

* Back Pain

They down played that one.
Actually it's degenerative disk disease that you have to worry about.
I was lucky enough to get that after I took the one and only desk job I ever had. Ended up in spinal stenouses (sp) which ended up with a section of my spinal cord being compressed to the size of a pencil lead. Yep that hurts

Well... there was 246,000 searches for it in July

How to stop your health insurance company from kicking you to the curb when you get a very serious illness. ( as in coming up with an excuse not to fund your treatment )

- Most people are well aware of this situation.

- Chances are very high that sooner or later this will happen to you, a family member or a friend.


TL

Reports are that the health insurance cos are on their best behavior whilst the health care debate rages in order to prevent fresh horror stories from swinging the debate in favor of reform that curtails the practice.

Funny, the ONLY change I saw was coverage for autism, etc...though the HCP doesn't really cover that, and some states, like illinois forced it, before the HCP really kicked off. and nurse counseling, though I DID open up a new account, and BCBS offered the same thing, before OBAMA even started running for president.

So I would like to know HOW the health care plans really changed. BTW you really SHOULD stop using the term "kick to curb". It reminds at least SOME of a report, that was replayed only about a month ago, of a hospital Michele worked at where SHE had a hand in kicking UNINSURED to the curb, and there is that famous incident where a person died in the WAITING ROOM, and was never even really noticed, though the person WAS on camera the whole time.

So Paul, is your avatar your business logo by any chance?

[cyberquest]

I get carpal tunnel syndrome from time to time but I bought Dragon Dictate so I can reduce the time typing for my Article Marketing efforts.

Other than that my back aches from sitting too many hours in front of the pc, due to slouching forward to type or do graphics. But I do have a comfortable chair that I can sit up in and feels great.

[John M Kane]

Heartbreak of psoriasis
Anal itching
Erectile dysfunction
Performance Anxiety
Clogged Pipes

[emofree123]

I'd say:

weight loss
skin care
arthritis
cholesterol
depression

[Lawrh]

The number one health problem that gives marketing purpose -

Being sick of being broke

[Principal]

My votes are for:

* back pain - it is a growing chronic condition
* cancer - another growing chronic condition
* diabetes - yep, another growing chronic condition
* obesity - you guessed it, another growing chronic condition
* anti-aging - all of the baby boomers are getting old and they don't like it!

[ecoverartist]

I've heard some real horror stories from people with kidney stones.
Likewise with IBS/Crohn's disease although I don't know how prevalent either one is.

Personally, my vote goes toward asthma and allergies.

[Healthaddict]

how about the stroke or CVA ( Cerebra Vascular Accident ) . This problem in health like heart disease.

[dagaul101]

I would agree with that list, high cholesterol leading to block arteries and the dreaded heart attack is a top worry for many people

[Nicola Lane]

Diabetes - definately diabetes!

As many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

One in 10 U.S. adults has diabetes now. The prevalence is expected to rise sharply over the next 40 years due to an aging population more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, increases in minority groups that are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, and people with diabetes living longer, according to CDC projections published in the journal Population Health Metrics. Because the study factored in aging, minority populations and lifespan, the projections are higher than previous estimates.
