Total Hip Arthroplasty And Hip Resurfacing Operation: Are They The Same?
The ASR XL Acetebular Hip System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System are two of the hip implants manufactured by the DePuy Orthopaedics, the subsidiary of the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. Complaints were raised regarding these hip replacement products which allegedly inflicts harm to users. The cost garnered from the compensation granted to the affected individuals due to the DePuy hip replacement recall issued caused a decrease in Johnson & Johnson’s income. Nevertheless, let us tackle on the difference between the two operation which utilizes the two said hip implants. Hip replacement surgeries can actually be a total hip replacement (THR) or a hip resurfacing operation.
Those who are afflicted with bone anomaly such as osteoarthritis would often experience worsening of the hip bone joint, which is also known as the acetabulofemoral joint (AF joint), if the condition is left untreated or if unsuccessful medical managements were employed. If the condition proved to be irreparable, a hip replacement intervention is indicated. A Total Hip Replacement (THR) operation (also known as a Total Hip Arthroplasty) is the hip operation usually utilized. In this hip management, the irreversibly damaged hip joint is replaced by a hip replacement device. The operation usually involves the removal of the acetabulum and the femoral head which is then replaced with an artificial hip prosthesis that functions like the acetabulofemoral ball-and-socket joint. There is also an operation known as partial hip replacement or hemiarthroplasty wherein only the femoral head is removed and replaced.
A Hip Resurfacing Operation, on the other hand, is actually a divergent intervention for total hip replacement operation. In a hip resurfacing method, the part of the hip bone joint to be removed and replaced is only minimal. The only area which is manipulated during the surgery is the femoral head which is replaced by a hip prosthesis made of cobalt-chrome metal, has a mushroom shape and is hollow. When the patient moves, the activity induces the secretion of synovial fluid which naturally coats the surface of the metal cup and lubricates it for smoother movement of the joint.
Secure a skilled surgeon who will implement a successful operation if you want to try to get under the knife for hip injury management. Choosing the most efficient and safest hip implant is also important. With the issuance of the DePuy hip recall, one can expel a huge sigh of relief. But when a recall is not enough for the damage endured by afflicted individuals, filing a DePuy hip replacement lawsuit can be done.

All the smart ones are here, yes, wrong category, but If you have had a hip replacement, would you share?
I’m sorry, yes, I know wrong heading, but all the good minds visit this category, and not the others…. I am facing a hip replacement, and if you or someone you know has had one, would you share your experiences? (I’m scared pea green.) Also, could you make it so I could contact you and discuss the doc who did it, his education, hospital care you received, etc. I live in a small town, and know I will have to travel so as long as I am on a plane, it can be anywhere. Thanks in advance, guys. Really appreciate you information…
I have had both of my hips replaced in separate surgeries several months apart. That was about 4 years ago. I have recently posted several answers to hip replacement questions. If you go to my profile and look at my list of answers you will find several comments that you may find helpful. (I like to answer questions about this topic but I am beginning to repeat myself.) You may also contact me via email through my profile.
I was scared too as I had never had any kind of surgery before nor had I ever spent any time in a hospital. It was all new to me. I have read everything I could get my hands on about the procedure and I urge you to do the same. Since you ask about choosing a surgeon I will pass along what seems to be the prevailing thought about surgeon choice: it is important that the surgeon do a minimun of 50 hip replacements per year (and the hospital should host a minimum of 100). These recommendations come from the issue of US News & World Report cited below. It is also important that your surgeon is fellowship trained. This means that he/she spent additional time after completing his residency in advanced training in a specialty such as adult joint reconstruction. In addition, the OS should have done lots of surgeries on people like you with the problems that you have. It goes without saying that the OS should be someone you trust.
I had no choice of surgeon as I have HMO insurance. I am delighted with my results. I went from a person who could not walk without a cane or crutch (and was close to needing a wheelchair) to someone who has no limp, no pain, takes no pain meds, and can walk miles.
I was 4 days in the hospital for each hip. I went directly home and was treated for about two weeks by a home health care nurse and a physical therapist. They visited me about 4 times each. After that I went to outpatient PT. I was asked to give blood for myself prior to each surgery. It didn’t work out so well for the first as my Ht was low after the first unit. I was able to give the required 2 units before surgery #2. I was transfused with my own blood within a day following surgery.
I was pleased with my care at the hospital (in a small midwestern city). They have lots of joint replacement surgeries and had a program all worked out for hippies to follow, printed out in a notebook giving the patient and family a schedule for what would happen every day of the stay. This gave the procedure a sense of “routine” and I found that somehow comforting.
I had general anesthesia for both surgeries. I had thought I wanted an epidural but the anesthetist convinced me that I didn’t. For the 2nd hip, I actually asked for general. Aside from a short bout of nausea, I was fine. This would be something to discuss with your surgeon and anesthesia staff when the time comes.
I was intimidated by the surgeon and his manner. However, I didn’t hire him to be nice and friendly (although it wouldn’t have killed him). I hired him to fix my hips and he did that. I didn’t have a choice of prosthesis. Knowing what I know now (which is probably way more than the average hip patient knows) I would have definitely asked about ceramic bearings. I am not that young but if having ceramic would make it more likely that my hips will outlive me, I might even pay extra for it. As it was I got metal/poly.
As important or more important than what hardware the OS uses on you, is the skill of the surgeon. The latest hardware and techniques mean little if they aren’t installed correctly. So worry less about hardware, mini incisions, computer imaging, resurfacing, metal or ceramic or poly, blah, blah, blah, and find yourself a good surgeon.
Other matters: I could drive at 5-6 weeks after each hip. I discovered that the arthritis pain was gone immediately after surgery. They got me up and walking within hours after surgery. You may have precautions imposed for a period of time. These will be frustrating but need not be forever. In the early hours, you may wonder why you let someone do this to you. You will worry about dislocating. You may be surprised at how well you do. There may be swelling of the thigh and leg on the operated side. This is temporary and abates. You may be given some kind of prophylactic measures to prevent DVT and blood clots. These measures can include a drug, special TED sox or a device that massages the legs. Moving around and walking are another good way to prevent clots so the sooner you are up and moving, the better.
I had one radiation treatment on day 2 with my second hip (but not the first) to prevent HO (heterotopic ossification), something that the OS said he noted during the surgery. It was uncomfortable but it apparently worked because I never got HO. This is not a common treatment but certain people are more vulnerable to it (and it can be quite painful and crippling if it develops). It’s easier to prevent it than to try to dig it out later.
I could go on, but will stop by saying that THR is one of the most successful surgeries done today in terms of how it relieves pain and restores function in people who would otherwise end up in wheelchairs, burdens to their families and society.

Football is often called the beautiful game but when you really think about it…Golf; now that is a beautiful game.
Images of exclusivity, where women are banned from the clubhouse and children flogged for so much as looking at the putting green make great headlines, but paint an inaccurate picture of golf in the 21st century as anyone who plays the game will testify.
The reality is that the Royal and Ancient game is hugely popular and accessible, in fact it’s now considered positively hip and cool – a fourball with mates and beers to follow is about the perfect summer’s day out for many.
Its appeal is broad too – rock stars like Robbie Williams and Alice Cooper regularly thrash a ball about the fairways while even the rich and beautiful in the shapely forms of supermodel Cindy Crawford and actress Catherine Zeta-Jones love nothing better than hitching up their golf slacks and strutting their stuff down the fairway.
However golf’s attraction doesn’t lie in who plays the game but rather the very game itself – from the physical pleasure of smacking a ball down the fairway to discovering all the wonderful rituals and traditions that surround the sport.
To explain to a non-golfer why golf is such a great game can be difficult. If you don’t play, it’s likely you just won’t get it…at first!
At its most rudimentary level, its appeal lies in the fact that there is something innately satisfying about teeing up a ball and thrashing it as hard as you can. It conjures up memories of youthful indiscretion, of throwing stones as far as possible and seeing them hit their intended target – a disused garden shed window or abandoned old car – and the resulting clatter/thud/crash of success.
But before anyone writes of golfers as unreconstructed hooligans still seeking a cheap thrill or adrenaline rush, golf proves strangely addictive for altogether much more subtle reasons.
It’s partly the ritual involved – packing your golf bag for a day’s golf is a bit like planning a trek up K2 with every contingency to be covered – rain, sun, cold, hunger, thirst, new glove, pen, scorecard, tees, balls (plenty of those) and the latest gadgets (golfers love gadgets!).
Then there is the equipment itself to marvel at – the tools of the trade. Gleaming silver irons, drivers with heads the size of Pluto, fairway woods, hybrids and putters of infinitive variety. Golfers, as you will discover if you ever take up the game, are suckers for gear. Screaming ads promise the earth and despite knowing better hapless golfers go back for more, convinced that the latest driver on the market is going to cure all their golfing ills.
Once you’re primed for action, bag loaded or trolleyed up complete with essential gadgets (ball retriever and brolly holder are always popular) the real business begins – the addictive, gripping part of golf that keeps you coming back for more – the round itself. Four hours of mostly pleasure but sprinkled with various doses of agony, joy, frustration, hope and not a little despair.
The course is where the love affair is cemented. Driving ranges are great for practice, superb on a wet winter’s night but every golfer lives for the manicured greens and sculptured fairways where he can measure his skill and ability.
And the first tee on every course brings with it the potential and thrill of anticipation of what might be.
So what if you’re playing off 25 and you couldn’t hit a cow’s backside with a banjo from three feet! It doesn’t matter – the first shot of every new round heralds the start of something special. Eternally optimistic, it’s always the same, today’s the day you cast off the shackles of your handicap, unleash your true potential and blitz the course like the great golfer you know you really are.
Of course reality then kicks in – you top the shot, the ball shoots off like a heat-seeking missile, maintaining its perfect height of just a foot off the ground for all its 90 yard journey before coming to rest in a clump of rough on the adjacent hole.
Dream over for another round but there’s still another 17 holes to go and hey, hold on, if I get my five wood to this, actually manage to get a half decent connection, I’ll still have a chance to get on the green, sink the putt and…
Golf is also about the challenge of beating what the legendary Bobby Jones called Old Man Par – pitting your wit and ability against the course, out-thinking and manoeuvering its hidden traps and spiteful hazards, attempting to lower your handicap, and, heaven forbid, even win some monthly medals.
But it’s not all about competitions, draining putts and shaving strokes off your handicap. Golf is something more too, its beautifully civilized, the long walks between holes yielding plenty of time for introspection and reflection as you contemplate a round unfolding before your eyes and take in the agelessness and greenness of it all, letting life’s day to day stresses drift away to be replaced by a kind of happy golfing stupor.
The Scots have come up with a few goods things down the centuries – malt whiskey, Kenny Dalglish, the Edinburgh Festival, the finest ever James Bond – but arguably golf is its greatest contribution to modern life.
It’s certainly yielded a brilliant history and to think that all the great players from all the great golfing eras – from Old Tom Morris to Vardon, Hagen, Jones, Hogan, Arnord Palmer, Nicklaus, to Faldo, Ballesteros, Norman and Woods have walked the same fairways, played the same shots and faced the same challenges, giving one a sense of history unparalleled in almost any other sport.
Squash is a fast paced and grueling sport. Unlike it’s American cousin, racquetball, rallies will go for longer periods of time. This forces the players to stay on their toes, as killing the ball is very difficult. In situations such as this, a squash player can’t afford to be using the wrong or inferior equipment. Though most people think about the racket in this situation, what’s often more important is the player’s footwear.
Wearing the right squash shoes
Many courts, and squash etiquette, require that players wear clean shoes that will not leave marks-this usually means no black-soled shoes-or damage the court. The wrong shoes or dirty shoes can actually cause the surface of the courts to become uneven or slippery, which can lead to injuries. Therefore, the shoes you wear to the squash court should not be the shoes that you wear while playing.
Indoor squash shoes are designed for play on indoor courts.
These shoes have special outer soles made of gum rubber. This is soft to the touch and usually light brown or blondish in color. They are firm enough to provide the necessary traction for playing while still being gentle enough on the courts.
Shopping for squash shoes
Due to increased blood flow, your feet swell during a match. When shopping for men’s or women’s shoes you should make sure that you walk around for at least fifteen minutes before shopping. This will let you try on shoes when your feet are already swollen.
Once you have the shoes on move around the same way you would while you play.
Try moving from side to side and ask yourself these questions:
· Do the shoes feel stable?
· Are you slipping around inside your shoe?
· Does the shoe turn too easily?
· Can your foot move a bit from heel to toe?
· Can it move around in the footbed?
· Are the squash shoes long enough so that your toes don’t hit the end of the toebox?
· Are the shoes too tight?
You’ll notice that it’s time for new squash shoes if the soles look especially worn or if your feet hurt the day after a match; e.g. if the inside of your shoes wear out this can cause pain.
Replacing squash shoes
Replacing your shoes is also a matter of how your feet naturally move. If your toe or heel drags you may wear out your shoes unevenly and have to replace them more often. Generally, squash players replace their shoes as many times as they play per week. So, if a squash player plays four times a week, then he will buy a new pair of men’s squash shoes four times a season.
Your squash shoes are one of the most important items in your squash arsenal. It’s a good idea to speak to a squash shoe expert to find the absolute best pair for you.

Six Reasons For Making Thailand Your Medical Tourism Destination
In recent years, 1.4 million international patients have received medical treatment in Thailand, and the number is increasing annually. Among those coming to Thailand, almost 200,000 people per year come from the USA, and nearly 100,000 patients arrive from the UAE.
No matter where you go in Thailand, medical tourism offers a wide array of procedures. The country has earned a reputation for dependable and affordable treatments and services, including massage centers, spas and wellness clinics and retreats, as well as surgical procedures such as laser, cosmetic, and cardiovascular.. Thailand’s high standards and healthcare expertise make it a world leader in medical tourism, while the options for a post-medical treatment holiday are the best in the world.
If you ask those patients who have received healthcare in Thailand, they will give you the same reasons why, summarized in these “Six Reasons to Make Thailand Your Medical Tourism Destination”.
1.Thailand features internationally accredited medical facilities
Hospitals and other medical facilities in Thailand pride themselves on their high standards, and many have subjected their premises and systems to the most rigorous inspections by applying for accreditation and certification, whereby a qualified standards organization – distinct from the healthcare organization under review – assesses the hospital or facility to determine if it meets a set of standards and requirements designed to improve the quality of patient care. This voluntary process provides a tangible and visible commitment by the hospital to continually ensure a safe environment for its patients and staff.
Thailand was the first country in Asia to achieve JCI accreditation in 2002, and 13 hospitals are now accredited:
Bangkok Heart Hospital
Bangkok Hospital Medical Center
Bangkok Hospital Pattaya
Bangkok Hospital Phuket
BNH Hospital
Bumrungrad International
Chiangmai Ram Hospital
Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital
Samitivej Sriracha Hospital
Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital
Synphaet Hospital
Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital
Vejthani Hospital
JCI sets Clinical Care Program Certification standards (CCPC), which are awarded to institutions demonstrating excellence in fostering better outcomes in specific clinical care services or treatment of specific diseases and conditions. Four Thai hospitals have received CCPC certificates:
Bangkok Hospital Medical Center (acute coronary syndrome, breast cancer conserving therapy, heart failure, primary stroke)
Bumrungrad International (primary stroke, acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation)
Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital (low back pain, primary stroke)
Additionally, many Thai hospitals use Hospital Accreditation (HA), a four-stage process that combines self-assessment and peer assessment to judge performance levels against established standards and identify methods of improvement.
2.Thailand’s medical professionals are highly qualified
In addition to Thailand’s leading medical facilities achieving the highest international standards, so do the individuals who work in them. The physicians, surgeons and nurses have been trained to the highest levels, while many specialists have been conducting research and gaining experience at the world’s best medical institutes with some even leading the field in which they specialise.
Many Thai doctors and surgeons practicing today have won awards for their work, and more than 500 doctors practicing in Thai hospitals are American Board Certified. These medical professionals are skilled at providing the highest quality medical treatment.
3. Cost saving
The cost of medical treatments in Thailand is significantly lower compared to identical treatments in the West and other developed parts of the world.
Some comparisons include: the US $130,000 cost of a heart bypass in the United States, which can be performed by skilled and qualified doctors at a Thai hospital for only US $11,000.
A hip or knee replacement in the US cost $43,000 and $40,000 respectively, but only $12,000 and $10,000 in Thailand.
A spinal fusion procedure in the US averages $62,000 and in Thailand only $7,000.
Even most cosmetic treatments are around 50% less expensive in Thailand than in the US, where breast enlargements costs around $3,500-4,000 as opposed to $2,600-$3,200 in Thailand.
A facelift in the United States costs about $4,500-5,000 compared to $2,400 in Thailand.
Liposuction is $2,500-3,000 in the US and $1,200 in Thailand; and a Hair Transplant, which is more than $4,000 in the US, is between $1,000 and $2,000 in Thailand.
Even greater savings are available for those opting for dental treatments in Thailand rather than the USA. Tooth whitening in America costs around $1,000, ten times more expensive than the $100 charged in Thailand, while a root canal that costs between $500 and $2,000 in the USA, costs only approximately $150 in Thailand.
4. No waiting lists
One of the great advantages of receiving medical treatment in Thailand is the ease with which appointments for treatment can be arranged. Thai hospitals have numerous operating theaters and enough qualified surgeons that there is little, if any, waiting for scheduling even the most complex and invasive procedures.
5. Thailand’s medical technology is state-of-the-art
All of Thailand’s leading hospitals feature state-of-the-art technology that helps them provide the highest degree of medical treatment and service. Equipment includes:
Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT, which is superior to other CT and MRI machines in early cancer detection and diagnosis.
Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), which is the most accurate method for targeting radiation to cancerous tumors, and R2 CAD ImageChecker that has 6-20% higher breast cancer detection rates than standard CAD digital mammography, allowing more accurate early detection and reducing the incidences of false positives.
Blood Marrow Stem Cell Transplant, a complex medical treatment program that can offer a cure for many otherwise incurable blood or bone marrow diseases and certain cancers in adults and children.
Gamma Knife Surgery, which allows for non-invasive brain surgery using highly targeted gamma radiation.
The da Vinci Surgical System, which uses robotics to translate a surgeon’s natural hand movements to apply less invasive incisions with unprecedented precision during heart surgery.
256-slice Multi-detector CT Scan, which is faster and yields far higher resolution images than other CT Scanners.
CARTO SOUND Module for identifying and treating arrhythmias with unprecedented precision and confidence.
Endovascular and Interventional Radiology for treatment of veins and arteries using DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography).
Uterine Fibroid Embolization, which is a minimal-invasive procedure used to remove fibroid tumors in the uterus without general anesthesia.
Digital Mammogram, which allows more accurate diagnosis and earlier discovery, particularly in women under 50.
Greenlight PVP Laser to precisely target prostate tissue with a high-powered laser beam, a procedure often performed in an out-patient setting.
Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery System for non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy to destroy diseased tissue or cauterize a problem area without affecting healthy adjacent tissue.
4D Ultrasound operating at a speed of 25 volumes per second.
MRI – Intera Achieva 3.0T MRI, which yields the information necessary to discover blood circulation abnormalities and is particularly useful in the early detection of brain cancer.
IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy), which is an innovative cancer treatment that utilizes ionizing radiation in the treatment of malignant tumors.
Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) that enables images such as x-rays and scans to be stored electronically, so that doctors and radiologists can access an image and compare it with previous images from anywhere in the hospital.
Many hospitals also make use of fully automated drug management systems, picture archiving, and communication systems to ensure that administration and communication are as seamless as the treatments themselves.
6.Thailand offers excellent service
Thais are proud that their national character has won them a well-deserved reputation for their compassion and warm hospitality, and that’s why the country is nicknamed “The Land of Smiles”. Patients become so at ease that they feel almost like a guest on holiday from the moment they arrive at the hospital.
The level of service excellence is virtually unprecedented in the world and many patients and visitors are pleasantly surprised to find hospitals in Thailand with excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and personalized room service not seen or experienced anywhere else in the world. The hospitals themselves offer facilities found usually only in 5-star hotels, and patients from anywhere in the world can enjoy immaculate private rooms, translation services, room service, including Halal prepared cuisine, and access to prayer facilities of their chosen faith.
All patients can enjoy healthcare and nursing of the highest standards – standards actually set by some Thai hospitals over the years – and Thai nurses, physicians, surgeons, and therapists never forget the most fundamental element in a complete treatment and swift recovery: namely, a warm and caring human touch. Staff are truly friendly and considerate to the needs of all their patients, and they will do everything to make you feel relaxed and confident in the treatments you have selected.
Thai hospitals feature 24-hour nursing care, and staff are experienced in assisting foreign patients, with more than 30 hospitals employing specialized English speaking staff and many providing translators in a wide variety of foreign languages, including Arabic, Bengali, French, German, Korean, Mandarin, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese.
Only in Thailand can patients also opt for recovery from their treatment outside of the hospital combining treatment with a holiday. A hospital will provide a medical escort service wherever the patient chooses to vacation, ensuring expert, qualified and comprehensive medical care and attention while recovering by the beach or in the mountains of Thailand.
In all aspects of medical tourism, Thailand’s professionalism and accumulated experience guarantee you are in good hands.

Who are orthopedic surgeons?
A orthopedic surgeon, or orthopedic surgeon is a surgeon who was educated and trained in the diagnosis and surgical treatment postoperative and preoperative disease and injury, the musculoskeletal system. orthopedic surgeons are the physicians involved in treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system. General orthopedic surgeons and five years of residence. Thanks to surgical and nonsurgical means to repair bones, tendons and ligaments; replace diseased joints, and remove bone cancers.
hand surgeons
hand surgeons have completed at least one year of additional training beyond residency. This specialty is not only for orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and general surgeons can sometimes supplement surgery hand bags. Hand surgeons are known for using microsurgical techniques to reattach severed fingers and limbs, but this represents a very small percentage of general practice. According to the American Association of hand surgeons, surgeons often treat conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and diseases of the tendons of the fingers.
Spine surgeons
In hand surgery, spine surgery is not unique to orthopedic surgeons. Neurosurgeons are also working on the spine, although usually focusing neurological problems, while orthopedic surgeons to focus on bone disease. spine surgeons are best known for spinal fusion surgery to carry out alterations of the disc and nerve compression. They can also subspecialize and focus on pediatric diseases, congenital abnormalities and trauma. These doctors also complete a one-year fellowship after residency.
Surgeons Medicine Sports
Orthopedic Surgeons who have completed a fellowship in sports medicine are responsible for the surgical treatment of sports injuries. These physicians are highly skilled in assessing the damage from the scene, the reading of arthroscopic surgery and magnetic resonance imaging, which are used by many sports teams or organizations or in practice are a private group. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the most commonly performed procedures are arthroscopic cartilage repair, repair of anterior cruciate ligament and arthroscopic shoulder surgery several injuries.

What is All the Talk About Attraction Marketing and How Does it Really Work?
With the continual change of internet marketing many marketers have modified the way they sell online and have begun using “attraction marketing”. The internet has developed its own terms or language to include a new way of marketing. Of course when a new trend appears, a clever phrase or word is invented and it gets “talked up” so that we are considered hip or in the know.
Attraction marketing has become just that new trend phrase for an old idea and has re-emerged as the “hot” strategy for selling online. Attraction marketing includes a couple different processes.
The first process is pre-selling and how you do it right?
The easiest example of pre-selling is as follows: The phone book yellow pages. I can hear you saying, “WHAT?” But it is true. I bet right now you have your copy on a shelf or stuffed in a desk drawer. I also bet you never flip through it just to read the ads… but when you need it – you pull it off the shelf and look for that specific product, company or service you need. Right? Thought so.
Please realize that the phone book yellow pages did not sell you anything. You initiated the sale yourself. This just happens to be the very first part of attraction marketing ~ the customer initiates the sale. Another example would be an auto parts store. Simply put they sell auto parts but many also do auto repairs so while the customer is shopping for parts he is also shown that auto repairs are available too. So the customer has the ability to ask questions he might have concerning a needed repair. By doing this the customer is attracted to the store. Your specific area is auto parts, information is given for free, and the customer begins to show loyalty to the auto parts store. In the end this is called attraction marketing. The auto parts store does not need to do cold calls, send out fliers, or hold a special sale… the customers are simply attracted to them.
Many internet guru’s will try to lay claim to inventing attraction marketing but they are wrong. One good example to prove my point would be the local enclosed shopping mall. In the 70′s shopping malls were the neatest thing around. Soon they became a hang out place to be seen. A place to meet other people. Or a place to exercise by walking when the doctor says to walk but the weather is cold. Shopping malls encouraged these types of activities by having free concerts, offering your child’s picture with Santa and other subtle attraction marketing ideas.
With the development of the internet, like the shopping mall, it has become a place to meet to exchange views. And as the internet grew with adding graphics and interactivity, and games it began to chip away at the shopping malls place. Today’s internet browsing person goes to the internet to meet people, have fun and learn new things. With the entrance of Google the internet quickly replaced the Yellow Pages. People began searching for auto parts and repairs online and it was not long before the business owners took notice.
Businesses began using attraction marketing on the internet.
Business owners were quick to see their customer base shrinking and attributed it to the internet. It was not long before business owners began using the internet to market to a larger customer base. Soon they found that there was also loyalty and these customers came back to shop again and again when the customer was provided products and services that were easy to find.
In the end everyone uses attraction marketing to win customers and then to keep them.
