3 More Holiday Bootcamp Marketing Tips

Winter arrived in Toronto on Wednesday…and its only 2 weeks till Christmas…but you can still be pushing to fill your bootcamps and working on plans to get more campers in 2K10…

So I asked Pat Rigsby, bootcamp-filling guru, for his best advices on what you can do right now…

Tip #1 – Reward your current members.

Send a personal card to all of your campers and consider adding a $20 gift card to Starbucks or something similar. While some
businesses will send cards, few if any will actually give ‘real’ gifts.

You’ll stand out from the crowd this holiday season and it will lead to referral word of mouth around holiday parties so that you’ll have more people calling to enroll in your camps.

Tip #2 – Get your MIA campers back on the scene.

Design a reactivation campaign to get all of your former campers and clients back on board for January. They’re going to go somewhere to try to reach their fitness goals in January – make sure it’s your camp.

Pat has more info on a bootcamper reactivation strategy here:

Tip #3 – Launch a New Year’s Transformation Contest.

Model what Turbulence Training does with the TT Transformation Challenges and use it to motivate your campers, produce referrals and generate buzz about your camp.

=> http://www.TransformationContest.com

Bonus Tip #4 – Create a 21-Day Bootcamp Program

Consider offering a short term program to capitalize on people’s new found motivation. Many of Pat’s Bootcamp Blueprint members are offering a ‘Drop a Dress Size in 21 Days’ program with great success.

******************
Those are easy to implement to make sure that you’re off to an amazing start for 2K10, while finishing strong in 2009.

5 Holiday Bootcamp Marketing Tips

I bugged Steve Hochman and Bedros Keuilian to give you some holiday bootcamp marketing tips…and to get you set up for more campers in January.

Tip #1 – Implement a 21 day rapid fat loss challenge

You’ll set this up for a $97 fee…and everyone who takes this offer gets unlimited bootcamp and a 21-day meal plan.

Then you can up-grade them when they come in by offering them 7 extra days (for 28 days total) as long as they sign up to start the monthly program after the 28 days…

Let them know that it’s a no brainer because IF during the 28 days, they decide they don’t want to continue, they can cancel with no
penalties or hassles.

Of course, thanks to your amazing workouts, they’ll be hooked on your bootcamps and will become a raving fan for life…so they’ll stick around much longer than 28 days.

It a really cool way to get new people in on a promo now that takes them through the new year…and that way they already know, like, and trust you for their New Year’s fitness solution.

NOTE: If you don’t have time to do this before Christmas, no worries, just start it up after Christmas…perfect way to get new clients in for New Year’s.

For more info, search the 21-day rapid fat loss program on Bedros’ blog here:

Cool!

Tip #2 – Give Your Current Campers Plastic Gift Cards

If you’ve read the interview I did with Steve, you know he loves giving out plastic gift cards to clients.

So give each of your bootcampers a $20 gift card to Starbucks (for them) along with five $100 plastic bootcamp gift cards to give to
their friends.

Each bootcamp gift card is worth $100 of bootcamp, and that will be another way to get new clients hooked on your workouts…and it makes your current campers look awesome for giving out that cool gift.

Tip #3 – Reward Your Current Members…

…by getting a free service from the local tanning salon, spa, chiropractor, and nail salon, and combine them into one big certificate and gift it to your clients.

Okay, those are great…but we’re not done yet…here are MORE TIPS from Bedros on how to prepare for the January rush…

Tip #1 – Offer free Saturday boot camps every Saturday in January for the entire community. This has worked awesome for California fitness expert, Josh Carter.

Tip #2 – Make January the bring a friend for a week month. Each member can bring 4 friends throughout the entire month (one friend per week). This is a killer referral system.

Whew. There you go.

That will get you off to an amazing start for 2K10, while finishing strong in 2009.

Bootcamp Blueprint System

In my neighborhood here in Toronto there is a bootcamp at a local park that makes me very sad.

Even my dog wants nothing to do with it, and he loves any excuse to get attention.

You see, the camp started out strong with about 12 women, but each week I notice fewer and fewer clients showing up.

I think they are down to about 6 people now.

Sad, isn’t it?

Frankly, I’ve watched some of the classes and the workouts leave a lot to be desired.

After all, 5lbs dumbbell curls for 20 reps isn’t my idea of a workout, if you know what I mean (especially if you’ve checked out my NO-equipment TT bootcamp programs).

But what hurts this bootcamp more than anything else is that they have no business system blueprint.

I don’t think they have any type of business mentor, and they are just making up their marketing as they go along.

Unfortunately, with that approach, these poor trainers are going to go out of business pretty soon.

The bottom line is that ALL bootcamps need a blueprint system…one that can be put into place by other trainers so that you don’t need to do all the work.

And that way, you keep your clients happy and just as important, actually coming back every week.

If you need help with systems and getting clients to come back week in and week out so that your bootcamps are recession proof, then you need, “The 6-Figure Bootcamp Blueprint Guide” from BJ Gaddour.

That’s just one of the bonuses you get with the TT Bootcamp system.

BJ’s blueprint will help you build your bootcamps so that you’ll have less stress, more time off, and more energy for your life outside of work.

PS – If you run a bootcamp, you also need…

BJ’s done-for-you nutrition guideline that he gives to his clients.

That’s another one of the bonuses you get here:

After all, we know that nutrition is more important than exercise for our client’s results, so you need to make sure they are getting everything they need to succeed.

How to Get More Bootcamp Clients

Been getting a lot of emails from bootcamp trainers recently who are loving
the TT Bootcamps workouts but still want more clients to take their
bootcamps to the next level…

So I asked bootcamp marketing guru Chris McCombs for ideas, and here’s what
he gave me:

1) Talk to EVERYONE

Wherever you go in your local area, just start talking to people.

Don’t come across as salesy or pushy, but just start the conversation going
and SOMEHOW turn it around to your boot camps… like start telling a funny
story of something that happened at your boot camp last night… whatever it
is, just turn the conversation towards your boot camps, and it they’re
interested they’ll ask more it.

 

 

 

That’s easy and natural.

2) Set Up Simple Facebook Ads

Facebook ads are a GREAT way to get clients.. just make sure to target your
ads as deep as possible.

So if you serve 7 different cites, create a separate targeted ad for each
one and the put the name of the city in each ad… and target your
demographics as deep as possible as well…

If your biggest audience is 25- 45 single females, then that’s who you
should target in your ads.

Again, simple and natural.

3 Tips From the Bootcamp Bootcamp Weekend

Do anything good last weekend?

I had a couple of family events, including a good ol’ family reunion.

Great times!

But that meant I couldn’t make it to the “Bootcamp Bootcamp” in
Louisville, Kentucky on the weekend.

So I had my good buddy, Pat Rigsby, give us three of the best darn
bootcamp tips from the weekend…

********************************************************************
3 Killer Tips From Bootcamp Bootcamp – By Pat Rigsby

We just wrapped up an incredible weekend with about 100 of the top
Fitness Bootcamp owners in the world at the first ever Bootcamp
Bootcamp.

We covered everything from the Top 5 Lead Generation Strategies for
Bootcamps to ways camp owners can maximize results for their members
using tools like bands, kettlebells and the TRX.

 

 

 

There had to be over 100 tips, tricks and strategies shared that
could propel a new camp to the six-figure mark in a hurry, but
sharing all 100 would make for a pretty long post – so here are my
top 3.

#1 – Pick two lead generation strategies and become epic at them.

Most mediocre business owners dabble in a bunch of things instead
of really committing to anything. Don’t be one of them.

Pick two high ROI lead generation strategies like public speaking
or power networking – and work them relentlessly.

You’ll get into a rhythm, be able to test and tweak and more than
anything else – you’ll get better and more confident at them.

So spend the next 90 days focusing on your top two lead generation
strategies and watch you business explode.

#2 – Don’t spend all your time chasing new people.

It’s often been said that it costs 10X as much to acquire a new
client as it does to re-sell and existing one.

Then why do most bootcamp owners spend all their ‘business growth
time’ chasing new prospects?

I can’t answer that – but I can tell you it’s a mistake.

Start spending more of your time focusing on internal marketing and
less on external marketing and your business will grow twice as
fast.

Instead of only offering one month of camp at a time, start selling
3 or 6 month memberships – or at least putting people on
auto-renweing memberships.

If you can get people to stay with you for 6 months instead of
four, spend $249 a month with you instead of $199 through upselling
them on Nutritional Coaching programs or supplements and get them
to refer someone here and there – your income will multiply right
before your eyes.

#3 – Great marketing is no substitute for a great camp.

I don’t care how good your marketing is, if you’re not delivering
great workouts with tons of energy – your camp will never become a
destination and you’ll forever be chasing new campers.

You have to create an atmosphere that campers love and can’t stop
raving about.

 

 

 

Greet them by name, provide better workouts, add music to the
workouts and create a competitive environment with Transformation
Contests.

If you want your campers to stay longer and refer often – you have
to make your camp more than a workout – it has to be an experience.

There you go – 3 tips that are easy to implement and guaranteed to
grow your business.

2 Bootcamp Challenges for You

Just finishing up 7 days here in Europe…did 3 days in Paris, 2 in
Amsterdam, and today we were in Brussels.

All the while filming TT workout videos and having fun.

But today while walking down one of the main shopping streets here
in Brussels I stumbled across a gym offering Cardio Bootcamp
Workouts.

That’s right, bootcamps have hit Europe.

 

 

 

They are everywhere, and they are radically changing the fitness
industry…so you must keep pushing to get ahead and the lead the
way in your city…or else!

And bootcamps aren’t just for big cities like New York and Los
Angeles (and Brussels?)…

In fact, I did two interviews last week with small town, big money
bootcamp owners Donovan Owens and Ben Warstler, about how they have
built 6-figure bootcamps.

 

 

 

It’s amazing, after all, that Ben has 170 campers in a town of only
3000 people.

And both of those guys told me their secret weapon was networking
and getting out there in the community.

I mean, frankly, you can’t even call that work…but that’s what
they are doing to create the fastest way to a 6-figure income in the
fitness industry.

So my challenge to you today is this…actually, two challenges.

First, use the Donovan Owens “Power-Networking” plan and list the
top 5 “power brokers” in your town that you can network with
tomorrow. Who do you know that knows someone who you should know?

As Donovan told me, he’s always on the phone networking. (Just like
I’m always doing online networking – and I love it and the results
it brings me.) So make that list and attack it tomorrow.

Your second challenge is to copy Ben’s “Small Town Joint Venture”
strategy.

I want you to list the top 5 businesses in your town that you can
work with to cross-promote your services and theirs. From restaurants
to hotels to yoga studios, there are dozens of business that you can
work with…even in a small town.

 

So that’s it. Get to work and let me know how it goes.

Au revoir mes amis,

Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

PS – Ironically, the last thing you should be spending your time on
as a 6-figure bootcamp owner is…

…designing workouts.

After all, that won’t grow your biz.

And since I bet that you and I share about 95% of the same training
philosophy, why not take the training burden off of your shoulders
and use the 21 Done-For-You workouts that I’ve designed.

Grab your workouts here and focus on building your bootcamps with
networking and joint ventures

There’s gold in the relationships you can build for your camps!

Bootcamp Marketing Tip #1

Here’s bootcamp marketing expert Steve Hochman’s world famous “human billboard marketing tip”…

**************

The first thing I’m gonna talk about is my now world-famous human billboard marketing system.

Now, the human billboard marketing system works off of the law of reciprocity, where you do something nice for someone and they feel compelled to do something for you.

And it goes a little bit farther than that, but here’s how it works.  You’re gonna get 21 people that they’re gonna be your human billboards.

In other words, they’re gonna barter your Boot Camp services, and in exchange for getting free Boot Camp, they are gonna sign a contract that they will agree to refer one paying client per month.  All right?

So, they get free Boot Camp services.

But they’re gonna get YOU one free client per month.

And I’m gonna tell you about some really innovative tools you’re gonna give your human billboards to make it easier than heck for them to refer you tons of clients.

Now, let me show you how significant this is, and how you could go from zero to a six-figure income in 60 days with the human billboard marketing system.

If you take 21 human billboards and you times that by $199.00 per month, which is what I charge for my Boot Camps for a year contract on auto debit.  So, it’s $199.00 a month times 21 human billboards.

So, if each person refers you just 1 client, in 30 days, you’re gonna have 21 paying clients.

Twenty-one (21) paying clients at $199.00 a month equals $4,179.00 each and every month, after only 30 days, without spending one single penny out of your pocket.

Now, in month 2, those 21 human billboards are gonna refer you one more client.  That’s gonna bring you up to 42 paying clients at 199 a month, which equals $8,358.00 a month, by day number 60, without spending any money.

And $8,358.00 a month times 12 months equals $100,296.00 a year.

So, you see how powerful that is?  How easy it is to grow a Six-Figure Boot Camp?

How easy is it to get 21 people to be your human billboards, have them each refer 1 person a month, and sign a contract stating that they are going to do so?

Not only are they gonna refer you one person a month, but they’re not gonna tell a single soul about the very special deal that you gave them.  And after two months, you are on track to making $100,000.00 a year.

So, now, what you’re probably wondering is, “That sounds great, Steve, now where in the heck do I find these human billboards?”  And where I find them, and I’ll usually find about 21 of them in the first couple of days even, is on Craigslist.

But it’s more than just Craigslist.  You gotta know where to advertise on Craigslist for free.  Okay?

And there are six magical places to advertise for your bootcamp workout human billboards on Craigslist.
