Challenge:
Low Conversion from Website Visitors: Many visitors browsed schedules but didn't book.
Ineffective Promotions: Email promotions had low open rates, and social media reach was limited.
Attribution Gaps: Unsure which marketing efforts were driving actual phone calls to their studio.
Solution Implemented: FitFuel Studio focused on leveraging SMS for direct engagement and implemented a robust call tracking system.
1. Strategic SMS Opt-in:
Website Widget: Added a prominent pop-up on their website offering "Text 'FITFUEL' to 555-5678 for a Free Trial Class & Weekly Tips." This captured mobile phone numbers with explicit consent.
In-Studio Sign-up: Placed "Text to Join" signage at their reception desk and in changing rooms.
Social Media Ads: Ran "Click-to-SMS" ads on Facebook/Instagram, pre-filling a message to opt-in for a trial class.
2. Automated SMS Campaigns:
Welcome & Trial Offer: Immediately after opting in, leads received an SMS: "Welcome to FitFuel! Redeem your FREE Trial Class here: [Booking Link]. See you soon! Reply STOP to opt out."
Automated Nurturing: Leads who didn't book after 3 days received ivory coast phone number data a follow-up SMS: "Still thinking about your free trial? Check out our schedule: [Schedule Link]. Any questions? Text us back!"
Event/New Class Announcements: Sent targeted SMS broadcasts to specific segments (e.g., "Yoga lovers! New Vinyasa Flow class added Tuesdays. Book now! [Link]").
Appointment Reminders: Automated SMS reminders for booked classes or consultations.
3. Call Tracking for Attribution:
Used a call tracking software (e.g., CallRail) to assign unique local phone numbers to different marketing channels:
Website footer
Google My Business listing
Specific Google Ads campaigns
Print flyers
Social media profiles
Calls to these numbers were routed to their main studio line, but the software recorded source, duration, and even transcribed calls.
4. Human Follow-Up for Engaged Leads:
Any lead who replied to an SMS with a question or spent significant time on a call (identified by call tracking transcript keywords like "pricing," "membership") was flagged in their CRM for a direct follow-up call from a studio representative.
Results:
SMS Opt-in Rate: Increased by 30% from website visitors.
