"Would you like to increase your profits AND have access to a unique, aesthetic information resource for your business?"
 
During 2009 over 400,000 people searched our site for a clinic or practitioner providing cosmetic treatments - make sure that they find your details when they do!
 
If you'd like to increase your profits with new customers referred to your services, access a unique information resource to help you develop your aesthetic business and learn how to market your services on the web, we think that we can help you!

Here's why:

The Consulting Room™ is the ONLY website in the United Kingdom that will not only direct more customers to your services but also provide you with a UNIQUE information resource tailored to helping you develop your aesthetic business.
Whether you're offering Cosmetic Dentistry services, Cosmetic Surgery procedures, Laser Hair Removal, Electrolysis, Collagen or Botox® - The Consulting Room will be useful for you and your customers.
 
Now, I know you're probably sceptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons why we can back up what we claim:
 
Three reasons to believe what we say
 
Reason one:
The Internet is indisputably the most powerful research tool available, and with over 33,000,000 active Internet users now online in the UK (Source: Nielson Data December 2008), Internet marketing is rapidly becoming a must for any business.

The Consulting Room™ has been designed to provide an unbiased information resource for consumers with content that has been reviewed by our medical advisers.

With the Care Quality Commission, Which? and other commentators highlighting poor industry standards and current lack of effective regulation in the market place - consumers will gravitate more towards unbiased research tools.
 
Reason two:
The Consulting Room™ was launched in 2003 and is the largest specialist cosmetic information website in the UK attracting over 75,000 visitors/month. We employ our own full time in-house webmaster to ensure that the site is actively developed and uses powerful internet marketing strategies to build and maintain visitor numbers.
 
We were voted "Best Patient Information Website" by an Industry panel at the 2008 Aesthetic Medicine awards.
In addition, we are now being featured regularly in press articles, including major independent sources, such as Which™ Magazine, The Daily Mirror, The Daily Mail, and The Times as a valuable consumer information resource. We have links directly into The Consulting Room™ from BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5 websites and we are also, consistently asked for press comments, which is further developing the site's profile.
We have an active social network marketing strategy via TWITTER and Facebook and our search engine rankings are improving daily.
 
Visit www.google.co.uk and perform a UK search for the following words: (these are just a sample of the thousands of words/word combinations that bring the Consulting room into the first page or two of Google):

Here is a summary of the benefits you'll receive

  1. Details of your services in a unique consumer website
    We host unlimited information about your services within our site and generate referrals for your services - even if you don't own a website yourself! If you have a website, then we provide a link and a direct email facility to make it easier for potential consumers to view your services and contact you.

  2. Quality enquiries for your services
    Practitioners in the US have, for a number of years, benefited from referrals generated by information rich search directories concerning cosmetic surgery and non-surgical procedures. The Consulting Room™ is the most content rich cosmetic site in the UK offering this service - providing quality information for consumers, independent of industry sponsorship. You can be sure that referrals generated by our service will be from educated consumers who have researched and understood the benefits and drawbacks of individual procedures.

  3. Access to unrivalled industry information to help you run and grow your business
    Within our password protected "Members Area" you will find detailed industry information that will ensure that you don't miss valuable training or educational opportunities. Other sections include a supplier and services directory, clinical information and legislation sections, recruitment and second hand equipment, product comparison charts & access to financial information. We have also negotiated exclusive member benefits with some industry service providers and you can also benefit from our own real world experience in running The Consulting Room™ to give you valuable tips and hints about site design and marketing to help you get the most out of your own website.

  4. Monthly Newsletter
    To help save you time in keeping abreast of industry news, we send out a monthly e-newsletter highlighting the most important news for the month and directing you to new and important clinical information, new product reviews, legislation updates, training and meeting opportunities, second hand equipment for sale and our own unique industry related feature articles.

  5. Access to an independent information resource
    Because we do not rely on manufacturer or distributor advertising, unlike many industry based magazines or information websites, we can provide a unique and unbiased overview of the benefits and drawbacks of products and equipment promoted in the UK market place alongside other broad based industry issues.
Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all these things. Let me explain…

Whether you are an independent practitioner or a national chain of clinics, you can obtain a listing in our directory through either our free listing or subscription listing services:

Gold Listing
  • Inclusion in our Find a Clinic search function, allowing clients to find you via map, treatment, product, postcode, category, clinic and practitioner name searches. Your featured services will have priority within the randomly ordered results through our map search, unlike most alphabetised directories, and will be the only providers found if someone uses the Consulting Room™'s advanced search facilities for a provider of a specific product or procedure categorised in our database.
  • You can feature unlimited textual information profiling your services, along with appropriate photographs or logos.
  • You will receive a password allowing you access to industry information contained within our Clinic Area. This section includes a directory of manufacturer/distributor contact details, an aesthetic product search directory, manufacturer approved product training course details, information on legislation affecting the aesthetic market place, UK & Worldwide conference and exhibition details, contact details for aesthetic organisations, important clinical studies and product adverse event information.
  • Monthly industry newsletter by email, updating you on news, training courses, conferences, new product reviews, second hand equipment sales, unique feature articles and statictics, clinical information and more.

Please note that a Gold membership listing will require you to provide us with registration information for medical practitioners (i.e., GMC, NMC numbers), and Care Quality Commission registration details, if applicable. This is important as Gold subscription listings have priority status on the Consulting Room and, as a service to potential customers searching our database; we help provide the basic checks that are necessary to ensure that they are contacting currently registered practitioners and clinics, where applicable.
Bronze Listing
  • UK directory listing in your geographical county.
  • Limited listing information, to include clinic name, address and telephone number.
  • Limited monthly newsletter by email, updating you on changes to the Consulting Room™, news, training courses and conferences. (This is not the same as the monthly industry e-newsletter offered with the subscription listings).

Please note that the Consulting Room™ operate a NO SPAM policy - your email address will NOT be forwarded or allowed to be used by any third party. Please see our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy for more details.
 

Warning: Do NOT subscribe to any Internet directory service unless it meets the following 6 criteria. There is a lot of confusion surrounding the field of Internet marketing. I want to give you 6 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any solution you obtain in order to get the best value for money:

1) Does the directory make any attempt to differentiate treatment providers?

Consumers increasingly want to find an unbiased information resource that helps them to short list quality practitioners - we make two basic checks for clinics and practitioners featured in our subscription listings directory. We ensure that all medical practitioners are currently registered with their respective medical bodies and that clinics are registered with the CQC or IHAS (where required).

2) Does the directory try to educate the consumer about treatment options and potential risks and benefits associated with a wide range of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments and procedures?

The Consulting Room™ aims to provide the sort of detailed information that would be available in a consultation with an experienced practitioner. This means that many of the leads generated by the Consulting Room™ for your services will be "qualified" as they will already be knowledgeable about the treatment options and specific procedures that they are seeking.

3) Does the directory allow additional advertising opportunities that could detract from ordinary paid listings?

Many other major Internet directories, allow additional advertising opportunities within their directory searches via the use of banner or box advertisements. The Consulting Room™ is a straight forward search directory that allows the consumer to find the exact service that they are looking for and compare treatment providers, (whether they are national companies, or small local providers) in the same standard format without the distraction of banner advertisements.

4) Does the directory allow the consumer to find a treatment provider for the exact procedure or product that they are looking for?

Not only does the Consulting Room™ allow the consumer to search for a treatment provider using over 40 different treatment categories, but it also allows them to search for a provider of over 30 different product brands contained within our directory. As the industry opens up, we feel that consumers will increasingly seek to compare services offered by treatment providers, especially ongoing non-surgical based treatments, within their own locality.

5) Are statistics readily available for the search directory?

You must be able to measure the return on your investment with any marketing venture. Ideally, you should have a system in place that clearly tracks how consumers find your services. This can become more difficult using different Internet marketing strategies, but you should ensure that the directory can provide you with honest figures about their true traffic (not "web hits or page impressions"). If you have a listing in major UK phone directory websites try asking them how many unique visitors (not page impressions) they get for Cosmetic Surgery or Beauty Salons and Consultants categories. We provide web statistics within the administration panel of the clinic area  allowing you to view, at any time the number of visitors to the pages listing your services within the Consulting Room™ over any time frame - this includes how many times people have visited your own website and the number of emails that have been forwarded to you (from the Consulting Room™).

6) Do you get any guarantees with the search directory?

We are so confident that we can provide a valued service to your business that, in addition to our no quibble cancellation policy, we will also refund all of your year's membership* back at the end of the calendar year if you are unhappy with our service in any way - Now that's a guarantee!!
*Offer valid only for the first year of membership 
 
You get at least 10 times your money's worth!
To host your details on the Internet with your own website and effectively market the site so that it can be found by potential customers can cost from as little as £500 to many £1,000's. We build a standard format that allows you unlimited information to fully describe your services offering you a mini-website within the Consulting Room™.

Gaining access to information on legislation, product efficacy and safety data, aesthetic product training opportunities, conferences, and useful organisations can take many hours - if you can find it! We can save you the hassle and time taken to keep up-to-date, along with ensuring that you don't miss any valuable meeting opportunities.
 
Can you afford to miss out on this wide ranging professional service?
If you take up a Gold Listing Membership you get all of these benefits for just £27.00/month including VAT. This means that annual fees would normally be covered with just one or two referred paying customers per year.

Since I know it's 100% to your benefit to act right away, we want to give you every possible reason to say YES today! If you register for our Gold subscription service, you'll also receive the following:
