Your "Before" Marketing
In the past, gyms & fitness centers relied on traditional channels for marketing & promoting their venues. However, the results from competing via television & radio commercials, direct mail, email & billboards were typically less than impressive, if not downright underwhelming. Email open rates are a disappointing 22%; TV & radio ads can cost thousands of dollars & are often perceived as annoying disruptions to a viewer or listener’s program. Direct mail has the lowest performance rate of them all, with a measly 2-5% open rate. In today’s hectic culture, modernizing your marketing is essential for your gym or fitness center. That means reaching your prospects & customers in a way that forges a direct connection & earns their trust, all via a form of communication that is comfortable & familiar.
