Blog 114: Health Club Marketing Profit-Based Sales Target

When launching a program, health club marketers often start with an idea of the profit they desire and ask themselves how many sales will it require to reach it. The target volume number is quantity of traffic, or health club memberships required, to meet an earnings goal.

The target revenue (dollar amount) is the corresponding figure for dollar sales. Both of these metrics can be viewed as extensions of break-even analysis. Increasingly, health club marketers are expected to generate volumes that meet the target profits of their health club. This will often require them to revise sales targets as prices, costs and goals change often. In short, this refers to how many sales it takes to break even and how many sales it takes you to get into your profit margin.

Every time you start a health club marketing program you must assess the cost in every aspect from man-hours, design and implementation, delivery systems, and so on.

Everything must go into what it cost you to run the campaign and you want to be sure to consider every aspect as you layout your health club marketing campaign. Once you know what the details are of the campaign from beginning to completion, you will know what it’s going to cost. Determine how many sales it is going to take to get you to your break-even point then how many sales does it take you to get into your profit margin.

These are enormously important numbers for your health club owner and he/she is going to want them before ever approving the campaign. Owners always want to know the bottom line (that’s how they became owners); what is his/her return on his/her investment (ROI). This is a number you must always keep your eye on.
