The customer

Life Fitness Oldenburg is a modern fitness studio that offers its members high-quality training facilities and first-class support. With an extensive range of courses and individual support, it has established itself as one of the top addresses in the region. A strategy for systematic lead generation has been developed to drive the gym’s growth.

The challenge

Despite a strong regional presence, Life Fitness Oldenburg was faced with the challenge of continuously attracting new members. Fluctuations in demand and increasing competition made it necessary to find a consistent and efficient method of lead generation. Added to this were the industry-standard fluctuations in costs per lead, which required targeted optimization of campaign strategies.

The goal

The campaign pursued several key objectives. These included:

The solution

To overcome the challenges, a comprehensive strategy was developed that combined various approaches. With a focus on continuous optimization, regular promotions and the targeted use of seasonal peaks, the campaigns were adapted to the needs of the target group. Each measure was planned based on data and continuously evaluated in order to achieve the best results.

Regular actions

Monthly trial campaigns were designed to continuously reach the target group. These campaigns offered changing incentives, such as free trial training sessions or discounted memberships, which were advertised in a targeted manner. Adapting to seasonal trends and local events ensured that the offers always remained relevant and attractive. A particular focus was placed on the repetition and consistency of the campaigns. The regularity created trust among the target group and ensured consistent visibility.

Optimization of the Creatives

The creatives played a decisive role in the performance of the campaigns. From the very beginning, the focus was on high-quality and target group-oriented advertising materials. These included:

This strategic approach resulted in ads with higher click-through rates and strong interaction, which directly contributed to reducing the cost per lead.

Black Deal times

The black deal periods represented a high point in the campaign and demonstrated the potential of a well-thought-out discount strategy. During this phase, heavily discounted membership offers and free trial periods were advertised, which were specifically designed to attract new prospective customers in the short term. A key success factor was the clear communication of the special promotions. The ads were designed to attract attention and emphasize the urgency of the offers. This was reinforced by countdown elements and exclusive discounts that were only available for a limited time. The use of such time-limited offers created a sense of scarcity and encouraged potential customers to act quickly. In addition, the campaigns were supported by targeted audience targeting on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. The ads achieved a high reach and became even more effective due to their visual appeal and strategic placement during peak times. The results of this strategy were impressive: during black deal periods, leads were generated for just €14, a significant decrease compared to the regular cost per lead. These results showed that a combination of strong offer design and targeted media buying can deliver outstanding results even under high competitive pressure.

  • Durchschnittliche Kosten pro Lead:
