FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you track membership signups from marketing?

We integrate directly with your booking and membership management platform (Mindbody, ClubReady, ABC Fitness, etc.) to attribute every trial, class booking, and membership signup back to the specific campaign, channel, and ad that drove it. This gives you true cost-per-member acquisition metrics.

What channels work best for fitness franchise marketing?

The most effective channel mix varies by brand, but we consistently see strong results from Facebook/Instagram ads (especially for local acquisition), Google Ads (for high-intent searches), and influencer partnerships. For pre-sale and launch campaigns, social media and email marketing are essential.

Can you manage marketing for a franchise with 100+ locations?

Absolutely. Our platform is designed for multi-location scale. We currently manage fitness franchise brands with 50 to 500+ locations, each with unique campaigns, budgets, and local targeting. The franchisor maintains oversight through centralized dashboards.

How do you handle franchisee co-op advertising?

Our Brand Development Fund management system handles contribution tracking, fund allocation, campaign execution, and transparent reporting. Franchisees can see how their co-op dollars are being invested and the results they generate through the franchisee portal.

Do you create content for social media?

Yes. Our creative team produces social media content, video content, and ad creative specifically designed for fitness brands. We create a mix of branded national content and localizable templates that franchise locations can customize for their market.
