great post Curtis…

every Valentines day I give out 6 dozen single roses to my female clients and other women at the gym. Do you think I stand out from the rest of the personal trainers there? I missed 1 year and a few of the female trainers got upset.

I use this and it is a cost effective way to increase members and have the name of my gym spread around.
I have an ongoing deal with the flower shops. I gave them pre-printed tags to put into the flowers.

For the men…
I have all my members fill out a hobbies and sports question….All I do is buy them something from this question..For example; if you tell me you like fishing I may purchase you a new rod..Simple as that.
I have only had one person bring the prize back because they said it was too expensive.
Good luck all…

Crutis, that is a great idea. I can’t wait to start that with my training clients. I will have to start getting my clients biz address. I will have to let you know how is goes. Thanks for the great tip.

For reaching a goal, we give them a trophy that says Gold Coast Personal Training client of the month! Even grown adults want cool trophies and it will sit in their lounge room as a talking point for at least 10 years longer than flowers!

Curtis,
Great post! We are just starting to do this and will be excited to see how it goes. Here is a question for everyone, when the clients sign up are you asking them for their work address? or just knowing where they work and looking it up?

We don’t currently ask for the biz address…..

I better send flowers to my wife first (since I haven’t done that in a long time).

She might think something’s going on if I start sending flowers to clients!

Great idea, Curtis. I usually send them a gift certificate to dinner at a high-end restaurant along with a couple of gift cards for 2-weeks free training, but I like the idea of sending flowers to the women instead.

Thanks!

Awesome Idea Curtis,

What would work even better, although I haven’t tried it but once is to actually put about 10 of your gift cards in the arrangement itself, that way when people do come by and ask who got them the flowers, they can turn around and give their coworkers a 2 week free trial. I know that Dustin Maher has really had success doing this very thing. Infact, I saw an you tube video of him filming himself bringing a camper flowers, then posted it to his blog. Brilliant!!!

Great stuff Curtis…. You always deliver! I know that each clients leads me to 2 more (referrals) on average so that would be a well spent $25.

Thanks
