Why Don’t You Drink Water? “I don’t drink it that often because it doesn’t appeal to me that much” “It doesn’t appeal to me that much” “I don’t think it helps much, but I don’t drink it so I guess that’s why” “I forget to, I’m a busy person?” “I drink tea and shower a lot” “I prefer things with flavor” “I forget, I don’ find enough time in the day” “I don’t like buying bottled water, too expensive to be a regular habit”

How Would You Encourage? “Telling them the health side effects of not drinking it enough” “By not using facts like ‘Your body is 70% water’ and telling them that they need water” “If there were more filtered water fountains around as I don’t like drinking tap water. Buying bottled water all the time is expensive” “Explaining the health benefits, for example how it’s good for your skin” “A time plan, to remind myself to drink more” “Telling scary health stories about other drinks” “Cool bottles” “Make it interesting, a competition maybe” “By telling people to drink more alcohol, you always have to drink water after drinking”

Finding The Time We solved the problem of time management by creating the 7 Day Water Challenge. It is a set challenge that requires those that take part to drink a set amount of water a day within a week. It is started in the hope that the routine will become a habit, effortlessly improving your health. It is essentially ‘Necknominate’ meets ‘Exercise Challenges’, both huge viral campaigns. But it’s healthy and you won’t die.

Social Networking Although we have a Facebook page, our main social platform for this campaign is Twitter, because of it’s quick simple and easy to share style of communication. Also, it can support the use of our #hashtag. The twitter includes healthy facts about water as well as motivation tips and outside links to information on the benefits of water.

The Next Step The next we have taken is getting in touch with water charities and ask if it is something they could see themselves getting behind. This project could easily branch off to help bigger water charities of the third world with merchandise and other profits made.
