Make 'em eat their vegetables
Now your old pal Jimmy ain't a daddy yet.
But if he were, he'd feel confident knowing a core principle of copywriting and email marketing that comes in just as handy when getting kids to do as they're damn told. Which, by all accounts, can be a tough one at times.
You know you need to feed your progeny the finest nutrients available, and on today's menu: carrots.
Now, I don't know about you, but I've always loved carrots - even as a wee nipper. Many children don't have the same sophisticated palette. You know how much eating carrots will benefit your child, but no dice. Your little one turns their head in defiance. You barter with them... hell, you even tell them that carrots will make them see in the dark! But alas, your child remains carrot-phobic.
First of all, you've broken the first rule... never negotiate with terrorists.
But secondly, and more seriously...
Little Johnny or cute little Jessica would bite your arm off if you offered them candy instead of carrots, now wouldn't they?
So for today's lesson...
Feeding someone what you know will do them good isn't half as effective as feeding them what they like. You have to find a way to turn your carrots into candy.
Still educational... but more entertaining.
Do that, and they'll be eating out of the palm of your hand.
If you want a hand making your nutrition a little, or a lottle, more appetising...
