Boot Camp Marketing Tips To Dominate The Competition In 2012


Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Boot camp marketing may not be rocket science, but there are so many avenues for getting ones business out there, that it can be a complex matrix of spending and strategizing. Early in my career, I spread my resources too thin and wasted enormous sums of money on programs that didnt work, explains Dr. Sam Bakhtiar, a certified personal trainer and owner of the Fit Concepts Chino Hills boot camp franchise. He adds, The best decision I ever made was pursuing further education to learn how to systematize my business and increase my profitability. Today his business brings in $ 2.4 Million a year.

Sam would like to offer trainers a few boot camp marketing tips to dominate the competition in 2012:

1.????Specialize in multiple niche markets.

One of the top New Years resolutions this year is to get in better shape. For some, this means lowering cholesterol. For others, this means improving range of motion to recover from injury. Some people need to lose 100 pounds or more, while others need to get rid of the last 10 to see their ab muscles. Its possible your boot camp can serve all these people, but clients want to feel catered to, so creating a niche program is a more effective way to stand apart from the competition, Sam says.

2.???? Focus on word-of-mouth and referral-based efforts.

Its tempting to want to funnel all your boot camp marketing dollars into pay-per-click, website creation, or flyers aimed at new prospects. I do all of these things, but to a much lesser extent because cold conversions are expensive and time-consuming! My primary focus is my current clients. I want the vast majority of content, promotional dollars and effort to go into wowing them. I write them cards, send them newsletters, buy them dinners, and go grocery shopping with them. The little things contribute to relationship building and they bring in their friends. For every friend they bring in, I give them a free month of boot camp. Thats how you grow your business, Sam says.

3.????Convenient bundles draw more clients with perceived value.

Nothing sounds more impressive than a package deal. For instance, you can offer a Diabetes Management boot camp that includes three workouts per week, a specially tailored diabetes nutrition seminar, a grocery store tour, a day-by-day meal plan, weekly shopping lists, a care package of diabetic-friendly foods, a diabetes cookbook, an online webinar about beating sugar cravings, and a free gym bag. Create something that your competition doesnt have and drive home your value, Sam says.????

I see boot camps as an enduring trend for several reasons, Sam explains. First, clients realize that they can still get individual one-on-one attention, but pay less with these programs. Second, trainers realize that one-on-one sessions lead to overworking and undercharging. The American College of Sports Medicine recently named group training as one of the top trends for 2012, which is good news for trainers, but also shows how important boot camp marketing will become in an increasingly more competitive niche.

Tucker Kicks Off 2012 in Winning Fashion, Claims 70th Career Win

Madison, Wisconsin (PRWEB) January 17, 2012

While the 2012 season hasnt begun for most drivers and teams, Scott Tucker has already kicked off the New Year in dominant fashion, claiming five victories in eight races during a remarkable two-week stretch of SCCA National Championship events in Florida.

Tucker, who is coming off one of his most successful seasons to date, earning his second consecutive American Le Mans Series title and third straight SCCA National Championship crown in 2011, took his Level 5 Motorsports team to Sebring International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway for two packed weekends of racing. The focus of the ambitious effort was to qualify the five-time national driving champion for this years Runoffs in both the Grand Sport 2 (GT-2) and D Sports Racing (DSR) categories. Each competitor needs four race finishes to be eligible for the National Championship, held annually at Road America in September.

In the pair of DSR races at the BFGoodrich SCCA Super Tour at Sebring on Jan. 7-8, Tucker went undefeated in his No. 55 West WX10 sports racer, winning both hard-fought battles, including one from the pole position. In Race 2, Tucker held off a charging Charles Dempsey by 0.325 seconds to take his 67th career victory.

For the two 13-lap GT-2 races, Tucker showed impressive pace in his Porsche 997 Cup car, qualifying on pole for Race 1 with a 2:25.2 lap time. However, a left-front tire puncture on the first lap forced an early pit stop and swap to the backup car, which ultimately dropped him two laps back. His fortunes improved in Race 2 with a third-place finish, although a full-course caution, which led to an early checkered flag, dashed any hopes of a victory.

Just one week later, Tucker was back in action at Homestead-Miami Speedway, taking part in the Florida Region Palm Tree Double National on Jan. 13-15 with his West WX10 sports racer and Porsche 997 Cup car once again. While another win and runner-up finish in DSR gave him a convincing lead in the National Championship standings, Tucker rebounded from the unlucky breaks at Sebring to dominate the GT-2 races at Homestead-Miami. Having started from pole in both events, Tucker led all but one lap in the two races combined, earning is 69th and 70th career victories.

It was a real satisfying couple of weekends for us and a great way to start the season, Tucker said. The team worked real hard to put these cars together and I enjoyed some good battles on the track. We had some challenges to overcome but it all worked out in the end and Im glad to be going for my fourth National Championship in a row later this year.

With the goal of achieving entries to the SCCA National Championships in DSR and GT-2 now complete, Tucker will head to the Runoffs at Road America on Sept. 20-23 with the opportunity of earning two additional titles to his already impressive resume, as he nears an unprecedented 75th career victory after just six years of racing.

Tucker and Level 5 Motorsports will now turn their attention to the start of the American Le Mans Series, with the annual Sebring Winter Test on Feb. 8-9 to kick off their quest for back-to-back LMP2 championships. Level 5 is expected to debut its new Honda Performance Development ARX-03b early next month at the two-day test. Both of Level 5′s cost-capped LMP2 cars will be ready for the 60th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring on March 17, which will open the ALMS season and also serve as the start of the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship.
