The Consultation Begins at the Basin

Quality checklist
Mistakes to avoid
- !Using generic imagery or vague claims instead of showing qualified practitioner and real treatment information and one focused offer.
- !Trying to speak to every possible audience instead of prioritising local clients seeking regular treatments.
- !Using decorative elements that compete with qualified practitioner and real treatment information and the main call to action.
- !Publishing placeholder contact information or an offer without clear terms.
Avoid guaranteed cosmetic or health outcomes and clearly distinguish beauty services from medical treatment.
