Fitness Marketing
There are so many ways to approach fitness marketing. The fitness industry is exciting, interesting and ever changing. The marketing plan needs to take advantage of technology while also incorporating other marketing activities that include web marketing, network marketing and a variety of advertising and promotional strategies.More Than a Little Muscle!
If you were to compare a great fitness marketing program to a person, it would have to be a successful bodybuilder. You want a fitness marketing program to have a lot of muscle and flexibility so that your marketing dollar effectiveness is maximized. You don’t want the marketing plan to be like the skinny beach dude who gets sand kicked in his face all the time!
Leveraging your marketing dollars is important if you want to compete in a crowded industry. This requires careful research and planning so you are able to specifically identify the types of customers you wish to serve so your marketing plan targets them specifically. A major mistake fitness professionals make in their marketing plans is trying to appeal to everyone and ending up appealing to very few.
Bodybuilders use only trainers who know how to work with professional lifters. Your fitness marketing plan should operate the same way and be designed to appeal to those people most likely to want your services. For example, if you or the fitness center specializes in family fitness your marketing campaign will be very different from a marketing plan for a trainer or gym that caters to professional weightlifters. You have to research your customers, understand your competition and then find ways to differentiate your business from others offering related services.
Marketing Repetitions and Sets
Adding muscle to your marketing plan means using a variety of marketing activities that target the identified customers. Fitness marketing should include traditional marketing, network marketing and web marketing in order to be as effective as possible. This may sound like an impossible and expensive plan, but the three types of marketing can be integrated together. In other words, your marketing plan should include different marketing sets with plenty of repetitions in each.
Traditional marketing can generate many local customer leads. For example, print advertising and local radio advertising offering special promotions or seminars can bring in new leads. Once you get the leads, it’s up to you to close the sale. Satisfied customers then turn into network marketers as they share their fitness success with others.
Let Me Tell You About….
Network marketing is one of the most effective marketing strategies for successfully generating new customer leads. One current customer can refer many other potential customers directly to you. Your current customers are walking advertisements. By capitalizing on this fact you are able to leverage your marketing dollars by using activities such as fitness referral reward systems.
Today almost all businesses use web marketing also. Web marketing can be used to build online customers, promote a business locally on the internet or serve as a way to keep current customers. Web marketing requires the development of an effective website that takes advantage of things like online customer lead capturing forms and email response programs.
Fitness marketing can be highly effective when it combines network, web and traditional marketing activities that directly target defined customers. Together the three strategies create a muscle bound marketing plan!
