Great Idea!

Here's a card we designed for advertising the hotline (it's more appropriate for many audiences) 

How about a similar poster to the above, with the difference being instead of saying "caught in the shmutz" saying something like "Struggling with Shmiras Aynayim?" This way people who have normal taivos will have a place to turn to before they really get caught in the shmutz. As to a poster that could be put up re HZ"L I am at a loss. Perhaps someone here will have an idea.

I was thinking the same. Secondly, People have a very hard time being honest with themselves and saying  “caught in shmutz” will probably turn them off if there a typical struggler Because of course they are never caught in shmutz! Me?! Never!

I agree with you bs"d - I think we need a find a way to put more info in the ads that make it clear that there are many levels of struggle and GYE is specifically made to provide help, information and support for people at different levels. I too, always assumed GYE is for porn addicts only. At the same time, Shmiras Einayim and Kedusha are vague terms which I think many associate with Hirhurim and Histaklus, and not necessarily to porn and masturbation. For me, "Struggling with Ta'ava" is a more accurate portrayal.
Perhaps an ad that had more information, or if online, an ad that contained a clickable short video explaining what GYE is and who it is for, will be more effective.

Another major help would be for Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbonim to recommend it - perhaps by placing their name on a poster within their Mosdos and communities. I know this is a large hurdle that many would not be ready to do, but if you are close enough with a person of influence who can do that, I think that would accomplish a lot.
