It’s THE best time to launch your new offerings and classes and this 12 week stretch to Christmas is a fantastic time to really get your business moving

5 Tips To Boost September by Kelly Reed-Banks

So with bank holiday looming this weekend, everyone starts to focus on the next quarter with regards to their fitness business & September can almost be like the new January with classes rammed, PT sessions being booked up & generally a real buzz back in business but don’t be alarmed if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed with being prepared!

It’s natural to feel a bit out of the loop after holidays & then not knowing where to start!

Dare I also talk about the C word which is only 12 weeks away so here are my 5 top tips to make sure you are making the most of this busy time & preparing for the downtime which will come over Christmas

Ok here we go!!!

1- As I said its 12 weeks to Christmas or 3 months – whatever way you think of it, this could be 3 monthly courses, 2x 6 week courses or better still a 12 week course that you could run to ensure people attend right up to the Christmas break or if they don’t, then at least they’ve paid for it, covering your costs! So I have monthly kick start courses starting but if people sign up for 12 weeks it works out to be over £50 cheaper than what it would be to pay for 3 months in a row!

Let people know what they are saving and I can guarantee they will go for the 12-week option

2 – Start all these new courses on 11th September not the first week back as this gives people a week to get over the kids going back to school or they may even be on holiday that first week to avoid school holiday prices!
Then you have 6 weeks to take you up to half term & 6 weeks after! – you then either have half term off or run taster weeks that week, free trial sessions or special masterclasses when you know numbers will drop.

3- Run a ‘like & share’ campaign on your social media for all your regulars – so the person who shares your business page the most times for a set period of time gets a freebie- it could be a free place on a course, a free 6 week sign off sheet, free t-shirt / water bottle/ sweat towel with your branding on it -anything to get them to get their friends to like your page & promote what you do!

4- Offer loyalty cards with incentives to keep coming! – This is old skool but I still love it!
so I have a loyalty card that has 20 stamps on it, every time they come to a class they get a stamp, when it’s full I give them a free week or a free t-shirt.

People love a freebie, they love the fact you are rewarding them for coming & love a free t-shirt that then they wear to help promote you!

5- Organise a fitness event in sept or October as people are so up for getting back on track! I run a calorie burner day every quarter & my next one is start of October where I put on 4-5 classes, I invite local instructors to teach with me to promote them, but also they will advertise to their peeps & bring some of their following to your event.

We offer classes that are not on my timetable to give people something different & we total up the minimum calories burnt over the classes! We run challenges & give prizes out & its great fun! It will attract new business to you & your regulars will love it!
It could be a wellbeing day, a dance day, or a fat burner day.

These are really successful & brilliant to do at this time of year! Give yourself enough time to promote it so October is perfect timing!!!

Hope that has inspired & helped you put into action a couple of things to make the most of September.
Much love
