The note that goes this week.

Dear [Name],

Your products are already in our machines at The Gym Group, so members already know you. We’d love to support you in reaching even more of them.

Every Bright.Blue machine comes with a 65-inch advertising screen, placed in a prominent spot that members can’t miss. We’re now opening those screens up to brands, so your brand can be seen across 11 million impressions a month, not just as one of the options in the machine.

Who you’ll reach at The Gym Group

  • 11 million impressions a month from around 1 million members, across about 260 gyms nationwide.
  • A young audience. The average member is around 30, and more than 4 in 10 are Gen Z.
  • People who come back again and again. Three in four Gen Z members train at least twice a week, so they see your brand week after week.

Three easy ways to grow in the same gyms

  • Screen advert. Your advert plays on our 65-inch screen, in a prominent spot that every member walks past.
  • Product on screen. Show more of your range on the screen, with a tap straight through to your website. No extra stock needed.
  • Another product in the machine. Add a second product, so there is more of you to buy (subject to space).

Try it for 4 weeks across 100 gyms

OptionWhat you getPrice for 4 weeks
Screen advertCirca 400,000 impressions£2,400
Product in the machineYour product in 100 machines£6,000

Mix and match the options, and scale up or down easily: product in the machine is £30 per machine per fortnight. Our screen advertising is priced at circa 25% below market averages for digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising.

The short deck attached shows exactly how it looks on the machine.

Fancy giving it a go? Just reply with the option you like and how many gyms, and I’ll send a plan over this week. I’m also happy to jump on a quick call if that’s easier.

Thanks,
Joss
