CDC question..

Sunflowers

Wants to be a yummy mummy
May I ask something? I was wondering if any of the cdc's would mind pming me and letting me know roughly how many clients you get in the first few months of being a cdc and also how your clients found you? I know a lot will come through from the website, I've looked into advertising in our local paper (very big readership) and it's £14 a week for a 3x3 ad.. I would also advertise on notice boards and parish magazines.

What else did you do for advertising? I live in a very rural area and have the HUGE advantage that I would be the only cdc for 8 miles in one direction and 15 miles in the other.. There is a huge town 5 miles away with no cdcs in it so that would have to help me for business wouldn't it?

I've asked you to pm in case you didn't want to post that kind of info on the board!!

Thank you!
 
Bump..
 
Hi Sunflower, I am a fairly new counsellor and in my 3 month ( i currently have 18 customers) and did not do any advertising got all of mine through 2 forums - website and word of mouth x
 
I am currently in the process of becoming a cdc too. I am thinking that when my son goes back to school I will be near enough at goal and a few people might ask how I have lost the weight.. I can then say the cambridge diet and if you would like to consider it I am now a counsellor..lol! So hopefully mine will be a lot of word of mouth. However I have seen some advertise in the local paper...
Also through website is always a good one ..thats how I found mine!
Think first few months it could be slow but a lot of it is word of mouth.. I can't wait to get started!
