How to get your GYM customers back

So you own and run a Gym, swanky place with latest equiptment, awesome trainers, located in a posh locality...priced high but lower than the most expensive one in that area....

You are wondering whats the problem? Well you aren't getting repeat customers! Follow these steps and you will surely get them back....

1. The process actually starts from the day they join, they should feel confortable around you and should be able to trust you....now thats serious

2. just like days before their membership ends....talk to them about renewing and new offers and stuff, try and give them some discount....

3. Call them.....

4. Call them twice in a week...

5. Call them thrice in a week...

6. Call them on Sundays..when they jsut being lazy...

7. If you bump into them...and they recognize you...tell them how unfit they've become..tell them they've put on some weight...that'll do tha trick...

8. Call them 7 days a week...

What are you doing and whats on your mind...

Aah well! It's been long since I patiently sat down in front of my comp and wrote a blog entry that made sense. Today I look back at those 60 odd poems I wrote and I kinda laugh, wondering what was on my mind?

This is about What Are You Doing? and What's On Your Mind?....Yes! its about Twitter and Facebook

I started Facebooking when one fine day few years ago I received an Invitation and I was like..."hmmm..." and today I have around 400 odd friends (I really dont count) out of which few are some people who I haven't even met in my life! Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook is I guess correct in saying that it isnt about connecting with people you've met in real life....there is a lot more to it right here!

So Facebook is not just about 'What's on your mind?' as mentioned in a social media summit that I attended today, it is about engaging the audience into something. Which is interesting.....
People are hating the new Facebook and like Mark, I too couldn't care less! 

Lets face it, people are hating the new layout, but they are not boycotting the site, they are not NOT using the network, they are still adding friends, they are trying to get used to the new Facebook! Hypocrisy.....and social media just go hand in hand!

Twitter was an interesting find, had read about it being a rave in the US and just logged on and registered years back! At first I found it really stupid...It is now that I've started using Twitter, not so much but yeah...somewhat...

What are you doing is the simple question that Twitter asks.....which is interesting....I'm still exploring!
