- 9. Why the 12 week program The target market is women who are relatively price inelastic. So, they don’t mind paying whatever price is set Usually when the consumer pays so high she is willing to try the drug for 12 weeks and thereby the impact that she will notice will be higher, which will make them come and buy again The drop out rate becomes lesser since the customer will not forget to repurchase or go get a prescription

- #3: These solutions are not good enough Weight loss drugs are too harmful to the body We cant follow our diet plan becauase of the temptation And we all know about the gym. The minute we decide to be healthy the first thing we do is to sign up for gym membership We all know what happen next. Relate to myself But don’t worry <number>
