for all your needs

The phrase “for all your needs” is pervasive. For all your insurance needs, for all your business needs, for all your printing needs, for all your in-home weekend veterinarian care needs, etc.

Does that phrase seem meaningful to you? It doesn’t to me. Instead, it strikes me as filler—a way to have a phrase to print or speak when nothing else comes to mind or perhaps when no time has been spent to think of something more meaningful.

Spend some time coming up with something interesting to say or at least an interesting way to say it. If your words are only filler, they’ll just go in one ear and out the other — not exactly the desired effect.
