KICKSTART YOUR FITNESS | Marketing Campaign

This campaign is for new leads who may be initially afraid of a longer commitment but might be willing to commit to a 30-day package. This Kickstart your Fitness package for the first 30 days in your gym will make it more appealing for new leads.

Basically, we want you to take what you are already doing for new members in their first 30 days: first free consult, goal assessment, inbody, unlimited group classes, any nutrition consults or personal training sessions, etc., and roll it into this “Kickstart your Fitness” package.

It is very important that you charge more for this package than your typical monthly membership. You are providing a lot of value this first month and you want to position it so, at the end of the 30 days, they will then be paying less ongoing so it feels like a win to the client.

The target audience for this campaign is new leads that may not want to commit to an ongoing monthly charge upfront but might be willing to give your gym a try for a month at a higher first-month cost.

Graphics:

We've made it much easier for you to customize the marketing campaign graphics. Instead of providing jpgs that you can't revise, we've created our graphics in Canva so you can now replace photos, logos, and also the text.

We are now offering templates you can pull into your free version of Canva and customize. From there you can easily resize the graphics for whatever platform you want to share them on.

Steps to set-up:

Use the links above to access, customize, and download the creative assets from Canva.

Create your offer for this campaign.

Add Landing pages to the site. We have a video tutorial below how to do this.

Add the email templates we've written for you to the email or text message service of your choice. Be sure to follow up with your leads until they say "no!"

Make sure you make it easy for people to sign up.

Tell everyone about it! Share the graphics on social media, email your mailing list, run a paid ad and have your members refer others.

Possible Offers:

NOTE: We say 8 people because it’s not too high of a number and will create a sense of scarcity. Keep in mind you can always take more than 8 if you want:)

These are just ideas but the goal is to make the offer very appealing and create a sense of urgency where someone doesn’t want to lose out.

"We’re looking for 8 people who are ready for change. Commit to just 30 days and we will make sure you see significant progress."

"Be one of the first 8 people to signup and we will throw in an extra Personal Training session (a $100? value)"

"Be one of the first 8 people to signup and if you decide to continue after the 30 days, we will take 50% off your second month (a $100? value)"

Landing Pages:

The Landing Page is where people sign up for your offer. It has two jobs:

1. Excite people about your offer:
Display your offer in big, bold text to get them excited to claim it. And showcase the main selling points of your gym to build their interest in joining.

2. Make it easy for people to claim the offer:
The offer form is placed at the top of the page so people can immediately see it when they land on the page. And the title and subtext explain exactly what a person should do on the page: Claim the offer.

There are two landing pages with this campaign:

The Main Landing Page

And a Thank You Page that people will be directed to upon signup

Paid Ads

Step 1: Facebook Ad

Facebook Ads allow you to target people who are interested in fitness training in your local area to drive them to your Offer Page.
Below is a pre-built Facebook Ad and Target Audience that you can use for your ads.

If you haven’t really run Facebook ads before, we recommend just posting this ad as a post on your Facebook gym page, then using the Ads Manager on your business page to run an ad on the existing post you just made based on the audience below. (Facebook tutorial to help).

1. Ad

Text
Start with a short, exciting sentence to pull people in. Then show a call-to-action to tell them whatever your offer is. Then show the aspects of the Kickstart your Fitness in a bullet list, with eye-catching emojis, so it’s easy for them to read. And finish by telling them that the offer ends soon to create a sense of urgency.

SAMPLE TEXT: Kickstart your Fitness in 30 Days: We’re looking for 8 people who want change. [Add your offer here]
👍 Goal-Setting, Check-In, & Nutrition Consults
🥇 One-on-One Coaching Accountability
🏋️ Small Commitment. Lots of Progress

Image
Use an exciting, eye-catching image preferably of someone in your gym. If not, use one of the graphics we included.

Headline
Choose a headline that sounds appealing and wants someone to learn more.

SAMPLE HEADLINE: Kickstart Fitness Offer for the First 8 People Who Sign Up

Newsfeed Link Description
Provide a sentence or two with some extra details on your Kickstart your Fitness.

SAMPLE TEXT: COMMIT TO JUST 30 DAYS! Build your fitness, energy, strength, and confidence.

Call-to-Action
This is the button people click on the Ad to be taken to your Offer Page.

Facebook only gives you a few options for this. For limited-time offer campaigns like this, Sign Up performs best as it’s the text option that’s closest to the action people are taking – signing up for your limited-time offer

[Copy/paste the landing page url you added to your website, similar to this: www.yoursite.com/kickstart-your-fitness]

2. Target audience

Here’s the targeting we recommend:

Interests/Behaviour Targeting

Facebook’s Interest and Behavior targeting allows you to show your Ad to people who are interested in specific things and activities. Their system has become very sophisticated and is now able to target the right people incredibly accurately.

We recommend using Facebook’s Fitness Interests:
Physical exercise
Physical fitness
Weight Loss

Age, Gender, Language and Location Targeting
Age, Gender, Location and Language targeting should reflect who your most common members are. If you generally serve people in their 20’s and 30’s, then you should target people in that age group. If you’re unsure which Location to target, we recommend targeting people within a 30-minute drive of your own location: This is a close enough distance for most people to be content with driving to you.

Why are Facebook Ads effective for this Campaign?
The reason they’re effective is because they’re shown to people who are interested in fitness training in your area. Facebook is great at knowing people’s interests based on their behavior, which is what makes their Ad targeting so effective.

Google Adwords, on the other hand, don’t work well for limited-time offers. This is generally because people don’t search on Google for limited-time offers. And the ones who do search for giveaways are just people who are interested in getting something for cheap, and are not always the best customers as they are so price-sensitive.
