Membership Cards
An individual's health seems always to be a popular resolution. This particular resolution can come in various forms; nonetheless, companies in various industries can help customers achieve their health goals. For this section, I am only going to talk about businesses in the fitness industry. Generally, we recommend fitness studios advertise for the New Year well in advance and accompany their marketing initiatives with membership cards.
A membership program is a great way to help incentivize customers to stick to their goals. With a membership program, customers pay a specific amount to have access to your gym, attend classes, and so on. The fact that they are paying for your services will help motivate them to continue working on their fitness goals.
Consider creating a specific New Year membership program that allows them to try out your services for a set amount of time before signing up for one of your other membership programs. This could be an excellent way to help get more customers in your door trying your services and seeing why your company is so great! Advertise this new membership program on all marketing mediums to ensure as many people know about it as possible.
Once they sign-up, it's your job to keep them there. Help them stay motivated with fun workouts, introducing them to other gym members, create challenges, give them special perks, create an in-depth New Years' resolution plan, etc. If you need ideas, let us know. We are more than happy to help!
Punch Cards
Maybe you want to help customers during the New Year in a different way. No worries, we have seen many people use punch cards to boost participation and reward customers. These unique marketing tools can support various businesses such as hobby shops, fitness centers, smoothie shops, recreation centers, spas, and so much more.
Punch cards allow you to mark or punch out a section of a card to showcase that the person completed something. For example, a bookstore could use them to help encourage customers to read more. Every time they finish a book, they punch out a section of their card. Once they meet the goal on the punch card, they get a prize.
If you wonder how you can use them for your business, it is as easy as replacing the punches with one of your specific products or services. How do you know what to pick? Look into your most popular products or services. This could help you draw in more people. Or look at your most profitable products or services. Make the best decision for your business.
