What do your prospective clients need to see one week before joining your gym?In this episode, host Mike Warkentin and marketing expert Colm O’Reilly talk about how to build a direct-response campaign that stops the scroll and brings in new members.A direct-response campaign asks people to take action and makes it easy to do so: “Do you want to get fit? Here’s how to get started.”Colm—a Two-Brain mentor and the owner of CrossFit Ireland and We Do Your Paid Marketing—explains the importance of knowing who you are targeting and what problems you can solve for them, and he outlines simple but effective direct-response strategies such as sell by chat and monthly email campaigns.One of the benefits of direct-response campaigns is that you can track their effectiveness and return on investment (ROI).
