Social media can be a great means of marketing a fitness business. When properly used, social media can help to boost brand awareness, increase your reach, and generate leads. Also, it can help to boost conversions.
In this post, we will share four social media post ideas, which you can share on your social media channels to market and promote your fitness business. With that said, let’s get started.
1. Testimonials & Reviews
Reviews and testimonials should be part of your social media content strategy. Sharing reviews on testimonials on social media is a great means of building trust and credibility with your followers. Also, testimonials and trust can also increase the chances of a potential client choosing your business instead of the competition.
If you have been in business for quite some time, it’s highly likely that some of your clients have posted reviews or testimonials on your website, blog or other online platforms.
In case there are currently no reviews or testimonials that have been posted about your business, you can simply ask your members. And, the majority of your members will be more than willing to send you some, either via text, email or even posting on your social media channels. You can then repurpose these reviews and testimonials and post them on social media.
However, ensure you first get permission from the individuals who have posted these reviews and testimonials, before you can post them on your social media platforms. Getting consent before posting someone’s review or testimonial on your socials will help to prevent legal issues, which can ruin your brand’s image.
2. Glimpse into your Personal Life
As much as you are on social media to promote your fitness business, it doesn’t mean that all your content should revolve around selling something. Once in a while, you should also give your target audience a glimpse into your personal life.
Doing so will help to humanize your brand, build credibility and trust. Also, giving your audience a glimpse into your personal life will help them to know you more and establish stronger connections. And, the more your target audience gets to know, the higher the chances of purchasing your products or services.
There are various ways of sharing pieces of your life with your target audience. For instance, if you have children, you can share a video of what you are doing together on a Sunday afternoon. You can also share your unique hobbies like painting, knitting, pottery, hiking, camping, or watching a movie. Also, you can share a funny real-life story or even a unique trait that your audience may not know about you.
At the end of that post, you can then pose a question to your audience related to that topic. For example, if you share a post about you watching a movie, you can ask your audience what they are currently watching or even their favorite niches.
3. Quotes
Quotes can provide an effective means of inspiring and engaging your followers on social media. For instance, one of your followers may be looking to start their fitness journey. But, they may feel as if they are not fit enough to begin working out. And, a single motivational quote posted on your social media channels, can be enough to inspire and encourage them to sign up for your gym membership and start their fitness journey.
With quotes, you don’t have to complicate things. You just need to simply gather as many quotes as possible related to the nature of your fitness business. After that, you should then create a branded quotes template, featuring your colors, fonts and logo using tools like Canva.
Alternatively, you can download premade quote templates, and then customize them with your fonts, colors and logos. From there, you will be simply copy-pasting the quotes into the branded template and sharing on your social media platforms.
When properly used, quotes will not only help to inspire your audience but they can also deliver massive engagement. The most important thing is to select quotes that align with your brand and resonate with your audience.
4. Jokes and Memes
Social media users love sharing jokes and funny memes. And, this type of content can even help your fitness brand go viral. So, at least once every week, you should post something that will make your audience laugh.
It can be a funny meme or a joke that relates to health and fitness, videos of things going wrong in the gym, or even a joke about something that has ever happened in your life or something funny you’ve witnessed in your life.
Jokes, memes and other types of funny content will generate a high number of likes, comments and shares. At the same time, social media algorithms tend to favor content with higher engagement. And social media algorithms favor content with higher engagement, meaning you will end up reaching even a bigger audience. In short, you can never go wrong with funny content. So, it should be part of your content strategy.
