Sport Clubs & Fitness Centres Can Benefit from Using SMS Marketing

Improve attendance and fan loyalty with text messaging

SMS offers a direct line of communication from you to every mobile phone on the planet; and using a bulk SMS message service allows you to fully harness the medium to boost the success of your sports and fitness business.

SMS messaging allows you to communicate with players and fans using the single most effective method available, with 5 second delivery times and an unbeatable average open rate of 98%. With SMS marketing, you can be sure that your target audience is consuming your marketing materials, whether they’re letting them know of an upcoming fixture at your venue, advertising the latest equipment available at your gym, providing availability times of your best coaches, or even allowing for the easy distribution of simple to redeem digital tickets.
