Greetings!

Q: Are you finding it more difficult to source leads for your business?

A: Your best salespeople are your current members or clients. It can cost up to 7 times more to replace your current base, so do the right thing by you and your business and keep them coming back. 

Q: How many lead generation streams does your business currently employ?

A: Amongst the options, look at your own web site and ensure it is optimised to 'be found' in the search engines under search terms relevant to your core business function and areas you service eg personal trainer Millpark or gym Richmond.

Q: Do you have reporting systems for measuring the success of your marketing campaigns? A: It's as important to measure the success of a campaign as it is to uncover the not so successful and then act accordingly. Manage your expectations - a $500 dollar investment is unlikely to return $10,000. Test and then measure - different demographics respond to different offers, so its worth the research time such as a small survey in your local community.

FEATURE EVENT

Engaging Fans & Participants in the Digital Age conference.
 
As a direct result of demand from Australian sport marketers, Sport Research Group have developed the Engaging Fans & Participants in the Digital Age conference. The conference will be held at the Star City Hotel Casino on Tuesday 13 July and Wednesday 14 July 2010.
 
The recent explosion of social media coupled with significant advancements in the provision of digital content has introduced a whole new element into sport marketing. Sport teams and governing bodies the world over are simultaneously all wrestling with how to accommodate and incorporate this new phenomena. These organizations are debating issues such as:    
  • Has the explosion of social media redefined the way that individuals choose to choose to experience events?
  • Has the advancements in the provision of digital content changed the way that way that sport fans prefer to "consume" sports?
  • How can the "at event" experience best cater to these changing attitudes and preferences?
  • How can digital and social media be best utilised to  engage sport fans
  • How to best "monetarise" digital and social media?
