Health Club Marketing
Health club marketing is the number one way to achieve success in the
health and fitness business. With the increase in competition and the
downturn in the economy a well developed marketing strategy has never
been more important. Health club marketing brings in more clients and
results in a huge boost in profits. Once a club has a functioning
marketing plan in place they can begin to implement free and
inexpensive marketing strategies.
Public Speaking
Public speaking may sound scary but in reality fitness trainers do it
daily. Whenever a trainer leads a fitness class or a boot camp she is
speaking in public. Why not take this technique to the next level and
use this talent to attract new clients?
Many organizations look for public speakers and demonstrators on a
monthly basis. Fitness trainers have the perfect opportunity to promote
themselves by giving a free seminar to a local business organization.
They can speak at trade shows. A mom’s group might enjoy an hour of
free instruction.
Charitable Organizations
Charitable organizations are constantly in need of donations. Fitness
trainers may already be associated with one through their club. If so,
the more this connection is advertised the better. It will allow people
interested in supporting the charity to know the club is a center of
charitable activity.
It is important not to use the charitable organization as a shield.
Fitness trainers must ensure that their club actively supports any
charity with whom they partner. Food drives, exercise-a-thons, and many
exciting events will raise money and bring in new clients for the club.
Become a Media Star
Many fitness trainers are finding great success when writing articles
for their local newspaper. This allows them to introduce themselves to
the community and establish themselves as the expert in the area. A few
newspaper articles can very easily lead to a spot on the local news or
a local cable show. The possibilities for growth are endless and each
event gives the trainer a wider audience.
The Club Crowd
A great way to start a buzz about a fitness club, and an inexpensive
health club marketing technique is the concept of clubs. Clubs in a
fitness center can range from a club for overweight teens to a club for
‘silver’ seniors.
The great marketing strategy about clubs is that when a club member’s
friends begin to see positive changes in the club member they will want
to become a member. The mental step to becoming a ‘club’ member is
easier than the step to becoming a ‘fitness club’ member.
An Australian health club owner looking to increase sales studied local
demographics before starting a club. He found his area was home to a
high number of single, white-collar men and women ages 25 to 43. He
found the perfect fit with a ‘cocktail club’. His fitness club offers a
special exercise club that meets after work for exercise and other
events.
Health club marketing is the best way to make a club succeed in any
location and in any economy. The addition of free or inexpensive
marketing techniques to an already successful health club marketing
plan will move a club into the top tier.
