Get ready to step into a world where data-driven precision meets real-time feedback with BRIDGE.

The Challenge: Boosting Gym Membership Sign-Ups

This fitness center faced a pressing need to increase gym membership sign-ups across its vast nationwide network. The goal was clear: to attract a substantial wave of new customers and grow their fitness community.

In hopes of amplifying their nationwide gym membership sign-ups, the fitness chain was searching for an innovative advertising solution. To captivate new customers and foster a thriving fitness community, they sought out a partner capable of revolutionizing their marketing strategies.

This is where BRIDGE comes in. We firmly believe in the transformative potential of first-party, data-driven strategies. We also understand that the key to success lies in skillfully navigating challenges and driving conversions. Our unwavering commitment to leveraging data insights empowers us to unlock new possibilities and create impactful campaigns that resonate with target audiences.

The fitness center and BRIDGE joined forces to tackle this challenge head-on.

Our Approach: Crafting a Custom Solution

Our dedication to growth-focused services, coupled with our audience database of actual verified people, enabled us to tailor a customized solution for the fitness center.

All of our campaigns start with an audience of actual people from our database. We built an audience of people who lived near the fitness center’s various locations, were interested in health and wellness, and had not yet been reached by the gym’s marketing efforts. To ensure that our outreach efforts were focused and efficient, we suppressed the gym’s CRM lists from our custom audience, allowing us to identify potential new clients and avoid duplicating efforts.

Over six months, we executed a highly effective email campaign tailored to capture the attention of and resonate with our target audience. Each email was specifically crafted to highlight the exceptional benefits of a gym membership, such as improved health, enhanced fitness, and access to state-of-the-art facilities.

By utilizing advanced targeting parameters, we ensured that our email messages were delivered to individuals who were genuinely interested in fitness and wellness, increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversion.

The Results? 476K New Sign-ups

At the end of the campaign, we ran a point-of-sale(pos) matchback analysis to determine who from our custom audience signed up for a membership. We matched a total of 476,573 sign-ups to the gym’s new member file, an impressive 70% of new membership sign-ups being directly attributed to our targeted marketing strategies. This achievement showcases the effectiveness of first-party data and highlights the significant impact our campaigns had in driving customer acquisition.

Seamless Campaign Management

Throughout the campaign, we took great pride in delivering unparalleled assistance to the fitness center, ensuring their needs were promptly addressed. Our team of dedicated professionals was committed to providing on-demand guidance and customized campaign strategies tailored to the goals of the fitness center. 

In addition, we prioritized real-time feedback as an integral aspect of our campaign management strategy. By actively seeking and providing constructive feedback, we were able to identify areas for improvement, optimize ongoing campaigns, and enhance their strength and overall success. Our collaborative approach fostered an environment of learning and growth, ensuring the fitness center achieved its marketing objectives.
