The Politics of Belonging to a Gym

I had a thought watching the Republican Debate on CNN earlier this week. Now, before you think this is a political piece, it isn’t. I will tell you only that my political views fall somewhere between bleeding heart liberal and ultra conservative. In fact, truly, the only reason I watched was because I always get stuck watching Wolf Blitzer, spending hours pondering whether A) Wolf is short for something and B) if it’s a stage name and he was born Jeff Blitzelvits. But here is what I thought…

Finally I have something bad to say about social media

This week a study came out that said teens who use Facebook are more likely to be narcissistic, and alcoholics, (with an added bonus of depression and anxiety).

I love Shark Week. Not because I have some deep love for watching the ocean’s apex predator swim through crystal clear blue waters while some insane cameraman films the whole thing. And it’s not because I have a particularly deep affinity to saving sharks (I do feel like I’m helping out by NOT eating shark fin soup!). No, the real reason I like Shark Week, is because it is an example of the kind of marketing that every gym owner should be thinking about.

Are you missing a huge marketing opportunity?

I knew it’d happen. I knew an FMG deal would excite and inspire me to write a blog (and keep me from going to bed at 2am). (Fun regular reader fact – when I talk in my sleep, I reference Burger King, not McDonalds. Fascinating, no?) Anyways, this week’s FMG Deal is for telephone on-hold marketing. And it really got me thinking. It helps you sell. It helps you retain. It keeps callers interested! The chance to engage members is right under your nose (the phone?)! If you aren’t doing it, why not?
