"The Formula"- Blueprints for Highly Profitable Fitness Clubs

Page 1

Introducing “THE FORMULA” The Blue Print For Operating Highly Profitable Fitness Clubs Attract more members Make them raving fans Double your revenue Sleep like a baby Become a celebrity

DECEMBER 2017


The fitness industry is well stocked with marketing professionals who provide fitness club owners with designs and campaigns designed to generate more sales and they are all fine and decent people who work hard for their clients I’m sure. We, at Momentum do something completely different. With over 20 years of industry experience performing “in the trenches” consultancy to literally hundreds of fitness clubs of all types and sizes, we have uncovered a comprehensive “formula” that delivers exponential, (yes you heard right, exponential) financial growth using these proven techniques. We work with a limited number of clubs to coach fitness owners in how to run these great online/ offline programmes and in doing so enjoy the amazing financial results they generate. The secret of our success has been to develop and link ‘cost effective turn key’ digital solutions into a co- ordinated club blueprint which delivers…. More leads…. converting effectively into memberships…. yielding higher point of sale cash…. longer residual values…. from members staying longer…. and buying more services during their subscription life or enhanced membership options. So that’s our formula in a nut shell…. • More leads • Better conversion to a wider range of higher paying memberships • Increased joining fees • Longer retention • Greater secondary spend Our clients take advantage of the whole of our programme or a number of the constituent “blueprints” and embed them into their existing business processes. Oh, and finally and the best part about it…. We guarantee 100% that our stuff works to your satisfaction or you simply DON’T PAY! Have we said enough to persuade you to read on? Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you think you would like us to help you take your business to the next level or just want to chat about industry challenges you face - were always happy to help where we can and we don’t even charge for our telephone advice!
