Push notifications
The marketing module integrated into your account will help you better sell and retain your members.
A Push Notification is a message sent by the club to a member, a group of members, or all members of the club at once, directly to the cell phone of the people concerned. It is delivered instantly and the content of the message is automatically read by the customer.
Unlike SMS, it is completely free, and compared to e-mail, it does not end up in SPAM.
The table below allows to better understand why Push Notifications are more efficient than all other means of communication when it comes to sending a message to customers or prospects.
| Notification | SMS | Fb / Insta | |
Cost | Free | Paid | Free | Free |
Deliverability | High | High | Low (SPAM) | Medium (drowned in the flow) |
Audience | High | High | High | Low |
Compared to other means of communication, Push Notifications are extremely effective. As a fitness club manager, you should absolutely use them every time you have a message to send to your customers to increase your chances of being read.
