Advance has spent over 17 years developing the most successful sales promotion strategy currently used in the fitness industry.

Hundreds of clubs use our innovative approach to marketing to achieve the following:

  •  Reach new markets to maximise club growth and profitability
  •  Create awareness & generate leads
  •  Increase sales
  •  Increase cash flow & financial stability

 

Note: Our large scale campaigns are offered exclusively to only one club in each area.  Other qualification criteria also apply (click for details).  

Innovative Approach

Some time ago, we realised that many of our campaigns, and those run by our competitors, were becoming less and less effective. Response and sales were dropping but expenses were skyrocketing.
So... we developed a new approach. A unique strategy...

A strategy that generates 25-50% more response for the same cost.

This innovative approach offers the following benefits:

  •  Positive community response - softer approach, no hard sell 
  •  Contact business [new markets = more sales]
  •  High volumes through the club
  •  More on-sell opportunities for you after the campaign
  •  Works in areas where other techniques have failed

 

 

Grow your market share

Our multi faceted sales program reaches the markets that will not normally respond to your regular advertising.  Tapping into these markets will help you to maximise your club growth and profit potential.  

The over 40’s
Much of the 40’s market is unaware of what your centre can do for them. The majority of this market is responsive to positive lifestyle changes, but need help to overcome the misconception that they are “too old” to benefit from your club.

The Weight Loss Market
Many within the weight loss market consider themselves “too unfit” or ‘too over-weight’ to join a fitness centre. Often a little reassurance that you can help them with their specific needs is all that is needed to get them started.

The Procrastinators
These are the “I’ll go in the next week” crowd. They can see the benefits, but lack the motivation or confidence to get started. Our personal and friendly invitation makes all the difference.
