One of my parents works at a company which owns a massage salon.
Apparently they need a catchy advertising phrase something along the line of "good health and good sleep"

And since none of them are English speakers, they're asking me to come up with something... Even though I have nothing to do with the company... (Its my uncles company but.. :juggle2:)

If you guys fail me, you'll be forced to witness either a extremely poor advert done by me, or Engrish advert when you visit Tokyo. You don't want that would you :inquisitive:
:clown:

Anyways, if you guys could inspire me with something, it will be really appreciated.

Maybe you should just copy what is on just about every asian massage saloon here;

NO SEX

I've suggested the phrases so far. Thanks for it, they're all great :2thumbsup:

"sleep like a log" is her top favourite. I've cut down Gregoshis to "relax amidst the palms" as she wanted something short and catchy.

She said pevers is bit too long, but she will suggest that too.

She also read Frags "No Sex" and she bursted out laughing and so did I :laugh4:

Oh heck, this is the sort of thing I do for a living. Throw in a web script and a couple of brochures and I'll let you off lightly for, say, ten grand.

Eh, you're an Orgah, so I guess I'll give you some slogans for free. Note that I never, ever do this sort of thing without interviewing the client first, but based on your (much too skimpy) description, here are some options:

Mind body and soul—but mostly body
Good sleep starts with Hot Hands
Put your body in safe hands
The body's version of Disneyland
Total relaxation and comfort
A stiff drink for your stiff muscles
You take vacations—why can't your body?
Relaxation is health
Touch: the most neglected sense
Care and maintenance for your flesh

I could go on, but that's a decent shotgun scatter of ideas. Get her feedback and we can work from there.

Wow, Frag, you're so right. And when you're throwing out concepts at a client, seeing which ones they like, that's really the moment to legally vet and check the slogans. 'Cause before you go worrying about something silly like whether or not your client is happy, you really want to be thinking hard about copyright violation.

Here's a thought: There are hundreds of thousands of slogans out there. Many are not only copyrighted, but trademarked as well. If you stress about that while brainstorming, you're in the wrong business.

For heck's sake, we don't want to get into this here. Trademark and copyright law are complicated. And don't get me started about regional business usage. Yes, of course, mess with the Litigious Mouse and you're going to have your day in court, but there are far more pitfalls than that. None of which you should be stressing over while you don't even know what your client wants or likes.

Easy enough to remedy, then. "Your body on vacation," say, or "A theme park for your body," or "Your body's theme park," or "Full body vacation in under an hour," or so forth. If that's the one your Mom likes we can definitely work with it.
