An effective and engaging social media campaign is just as important as your fitness club management software when it comes to growing and maintaining your business. A decade ago, social media was just something people used in their spare time or to connect with long-distance family and friends. Today, social media is a critical factor in business growth in all industries. While the right software will help you manage your employees, revenue and current members, social media will help you acquire new members. Here are just a few of the benefits of embracing social media:
* Build an online community: By engaging in social media, you’ll build an online community of like-minded fitness buffs, at all stages – those who are just thinking of getting healthier, and those who are already practicing healthy fitness habits.
* Build your brand: When you actively engage online, you are not only building a bond with your audience, you are building your brand, so it is easily recognizable both online and offline.
* Engage with your audience: the trick with social media (and all online marketing) is to engage with your customers. Don’t just post a video or article and hope for the best. Encourage people to comment and answer questions to the best of your ability.
* Become the industry expert: When you regularly post videos, articles and blog posts (all relevant and up-to-date of course), you will be seen as an industry expert. People will soon look to you to have their questions answered about all things health and fitness. You will be seen as the ‘go to’ for questions and concerns from your audience.
