Improve Attendance Rates and Signups with Gym and Sports Club SMS
An SMS messaging service can be a sporting club's greatest asset. Communication between club officials, players, and supporters is critical for determining numbers for functions, advising of changes to game locations, and last minute wet weather changes. Likewise, text messaging is helpful for gym owners in helping to drive memberships, coordinate trainers and schedule classes and PT sessions. With an SMS messaging service, every member of the club or association's database can be contacted simultaneously and instantaneously, allowing procedures to be streamlined and making life simpler for officials.

Re-engage members and boost attendance by sending text message reminders.
Most sporting clubs and associations have a number of teams and groups; with SMS sports club communications, messaging can quickly and easily be set up so that specific teams, selected persons, or the entire database can be contacted. Text messages can be set to be one way or two ways, and responses can be collected and tracked.
Benefits of SMS Messaging for Gyms and Fitness Centres
The fitness industry, especially for gyms and fitness centres, is highly competitive with almost one on every corner. You need to get the most out of your marketing communications to drive new membership and renew expiring contracts. SMS is perfect for both of these, giving you an edge over your competitors.
Forge personal relationships . . .

SMS allows you to reach them on the go, wherever they are with a method of communication they are very comfortable with. And with the ClickSend platform you can segment your members into targeted groups to send even more personalised messages based on their needs, attendance rate, targets and goals.
