Blog 212: Health Club Marketing List Maintenance

List maintenance is simply maintaining your health club prospect and client list(s); keeping them updated and clean. This is a very crucial part of health club marketing because your marketing efforts are going to rely on the quality of your list. When people think of lists, they normally think of e-mail lists but in health club marketing, you should have numerous different lists. You should have a snail mail list, an e-mail list, a mobile list, etc.

When I say list, I’m talking about a list of prospects and their contact (current). You want to maintain these lists so when you launch a health club marketing campaign, you will have current targets on your list. One of the most important things when it comes to e-mailing, especially if you are a using third-party vendor (server) or even using your own IP (Internet Protocol) address, you want to make sure you are not flagged as a SPAMER and it is easy to become a spammer if you send out a lot of e-mails to an old list or expired list.

One of the things a lot of health club marketers say is, “you can always buy a list for such-and-such from so-and-so”. First of all, you are not supposed to buy a list for your e-mail marketing because e-mails are an opt-in form of marketing which means, prospective members have to give you permission before you send them e-mails. It is okay to send out one, two, three or even four unsolicited e-mails at a time, but when you start sending out numerous e-mails at one time, you can get flagged by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) as a spammer.

So always keep your health club prospect list and client list as clean as possible. Update them, take out the old contacts and make sure you don’t have a bunch of bad e-mails. The same thing goes for your mobile list, your snail mail list, etc.; you want to maintain them on a regular basis.

Maintaining your lists will help you a lot in growing your health club and your health and fitness career.
