participating in the 2016 NGH
Convention, you’ll want to let your
friends, peers, clients, prospective
clients, and community know.
Why not distribute a media release
about your activities? You benefit
from the publicity and gain added
credibility. If your release appears
online, and you link it to your website,
you also will create valuable
backlinks to your site plus added
keywords, which help you improve
your website’s visibility and ranking
on Google and other search engines.
For tips on writing a media release, and where and how to distribute it, we recommend you
view Issue 5 of the 2015 NGH Convention Newsletter.
For additional inspiration in writing your release, we’ve included a new template you can
download as a Microsoft Word document at this link: 2016 NGH Media Release Template.
Simply click the link, then download and save the document to your computer. You can
personalize it to suit your needs for local, regional, and national distribution.
And be sure to read the media release distributed earlier this summer by the National Guild
of Hypnotists on pages 3 and 4. At the end, we’ve included some rather impressive
statistics on the powerful “ripple effect” outreach a single media release can have.

Hypnosis: A Powerful Tool that Could Transform Your Future Says
National Guild of Hypnotists
For immediate release
Merrimack, NH, May 3, 2016
The National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), an OPEIU, AFL-CIO, CLC affiliated association, is
recognized as the oldest and most established professional organization in consulting hypnotism
today. Although many of the organization’s more than 17,000 worldwide members speak about the
use of individual hypnotic techniques as an effective tool for helping ordinary, everyday people with
ordinary, everyday problems, Dr. Dwight Damon emphasizes that the greatest rewards of hypnosis
may be in its impact on the future.
Dr. Damon, a founder and the president of NGH, said, “Using hypnosis to eliminate negative habits
sets the stage for a person to have a happier, more fulfilling future. Becoming a consulting hypnotist
positions people to enhance their future with a rewarding new career, and for practicing consulting
hypnotists, growing your knowledge base and skills makes your bright future even brighter. These
points are all so significant, we’ve declared, “The Future is Now,” as the theme for the 2016
National Guild of Hypnotists Annual Convention.”
The National Guild of Hypnotists 2016 Convention Exhibition and Educational Conference, the
association’s twenty-ninth annual convention, will be held August 12-14, 2016, at the Royal Plaza
Hotel & Trade Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The NGH Convention is open to all interested
adults. Dr. Damon emphasized, “People from many walks of life become professional consulting
hypnotists. Although the training is demanding, it is not prohibitive. Those who are willing to work

hard can launch their practice, expanding their services as they advance their skills. There is no better
place to learn about the rewards and opportunities of the profession and to continue to grow as a
consulting hypnotist than at the NGH Convention.”
The 2016 NGH Convention will feature over 300 seminars and workshops plus extended coursework
offered during the pre- and post-convention weeks. With more than 200 of these seminars included as
part of the convention registration fee, attendees can customize their Convention experience. This
flexibility, paired with a distinguished 200-member faculty, allows National Guild of Hypnotists
Convention attendees to leave the event equipped with meaningful insights, new skills and reenergized
passion to carry them through the year ahead.
National Guild of Hypnotist member, Rhoda Kopy, said, “Every NGH convention is a uniquely
wonderful experience. For me, it's a necessity.”
