There are certain tricks that the majority of diet pill companies use to convince you that their product is the best one on the market. To a regular consumer, they aren't so obvious. But to one who has reviewed hundreds of diet pills, these sketchy tactics stick out like a sore thumb. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to buy something that goes into my body from a company that engages is dishonest marketing. The following tactics are things that you should look out for when buying diet pills.
1. You've seen them on nearly every diet pill site you've been to - before and after photos. Te problem with before and after photos is that they are often nothing more than photos before and after the person stuck out their gut and shrugged their shoulders. Sometimes, if you look close enough, you'll realize that they aren't even the same person. Other times they use the same photos for multiple diet pills. Sounds fishy? It is. So while the fact that they have them doesn't mean that they're a shady company, it just means that you shouldn't be too believing of them either.
2. The other easily fabricated item that always shows up are the testimonials. What's wrong with testimonials? Nothing as long as they are real. The problem? We never really know if they are real or not. Anybody with a half a brain can quickly pump out 20 convincing testimonials without breaking a sweat. So take them for what they are worth, and definitely don't buy a pill simply because it has a list of testimonials a mile long. It probably just means that the marketers had soem extra time on their hands one day.
3. Diet Pill sites promise you the world, but do they deliver? Don't buy into hyped up sales pitches. That's often all they are. Many pills will try to get you where it hurts - your emotions. Never buy anything because of what some pill promises that you'll have. Buy it because you've looked at the ingredients and they are proven to work.
4. I love to see cited research and studies on diet pill ingredients and products. What I don't like to see is diet pills that cite such research on certain ingredients, but make it look as if it was research done on the diet pill itself. Always verify their research claims yourselves. And if they don't offer the references to the studies they claim have been done? Well that tells you a little bit about how legitimate the research was doesn't it?
5. Last but not least (in fact, this one's the worst) is the autoship program. Some companies use autoship programs, which is fine as long as you know that you are enrolling in one (and autoship program is where they mail you product every month and charge your credit card). But we've seen more and more companies lately offer a 'free trial' to get your credit card info and then automatically enroll you in the autoship without you knowing (technically it was in the terms and conditions, but they are hoping you don't actually read that fine printed thing). So watch out. It's one of the worst scams that we've seen in a while related to diet pills.
Now, is this to mean that you can't any of the diet pills advertised today? Not at all. There are many reputable companies that engage in honest marketing. Just make sure you do your homework before handing over your money. - 15255
