		<description>Thanks Paul. Glad it was helpful.

Love the look of Netwalking - what a lovely idea. Much better than networking at a conference room.

I&#039;ve updated the link for the NHS Choices page - thanks for pointing that out!</description>

		<description>Great post John and put in way that I can relate to as its a dilemma I&#039;m currently experiencing whilst promoting my new walking product, Netwalking. So I definitely agree about the way you use the right language.
BTW I think the link for NHS Choice has got distorted , it goes to another of your pages rather than their website.</description>

		<description>Hi Martin,

That&#039;s exactly right - I&#039;ve adapted the effective AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) model for sport and activity campaigns based on what works most effectively in sport and activity campaigns. Another benefit of  explaining it in this way is that this language is more suited for the non-marketers among us (most people in sport and activity).

In answer to your point about trial I think another important point is that there&#039;s a big difference between someone repeating once, and doing it every week for years. By keeping up communication with these people we can help people to repeat again and again.

		<description>I think you&#039;ve just embellished the (very) old retail routine of &#039;Awareness,Trial,Repeat&#039; (ATR).
As almost any retailer will tell you, &#039;awareness&#039; is fairly straightforward to achieve; &#039;trial&#039; is always the tricky one, but provided that goes well &#039;repeat&#039; will usually happen.</description>
