How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Private Tennis Club
You're heavily invested in the success of your private tennis club and failure isn't an option. That means you'll also need to invest yourself in the strategies and techniques it takes to effectively market your brand in the marketplace.
We recognize that the best private tennis club owners are adept at promoting their brand and products. Yet in this industry, the characteristics of able marketers aren't always obvious.
In general, good business owners make good marketers. However, the most visible brands are always on the lookout for the marketing tactics competitive private tennis clubs have incorporated into their marketing plans.
Marketing Collateral
Every piece of collateral your private tennis club creates is a tangible reflection of your brand distinctive and core values. To squeeze the most impact from your collateral, it needs to be targeted toward its recipients. Delivered to the wrong person, a valuable piece of collateral will collect dust. For direct mail campaigns, premium mailing lists from established vendors can protect the value of your investment. If you're like most business owners, you invest substantial resources in the creation of quality collateral. If you don't invest similar resources in mailing lists and other distribution channels, your private tennis club's investment in collateral will be pointless.
Directories
Directories are a common tool for finding a private tennis club. When all of your competitors are listed in a directory, you have no choice in the matter. To keep pace, competitive businesses must include the same directories in their plans for marketing private tennis clubs to market segments. Paid directory listings are gaining steam in some sectors. But paid listings don't necessarily translate into better results - many free directories have just as much firepower as premium ones. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Some directories may also let you list more than your name and contact information, so be sure to ask whether your listing can include a logo and other information about your business.
Expand Your Advertising Options
Take a look around the industry. Chances are, you'll see companies using a vast array of advertising vehicles to communicate brand messages. When it comes to private tennis clubs, the challenge is identifying the advertising solutions that are appropriate for your customers and consistent with your marketing goals. These days, private tennis clubs get solid marketing results from online channels capable of streaming high value content to a large, yet targeted customer base.
