Social Media Training for the Leisure Industry: An Overview
The leisure sector in the UK is growing and hugely competitive. With more health clubs, sports and leisure centres operating in all parts of the UK, social media helps leisure operators stand out from a vast crowd and engage with the most relevant audience.
Statistics show that membership of UK gyms increased to 9.7m recently and that the number of facilities also increased to more than 6,500, which is enormous. With one in seven Britons already a member of the gym, social media is not only a channel for recruiting new members, but it also provides a pathway to help retain current members through intelligent engagement – we can help you do this on our leisure social media training course.

By having a voice on social and keeping up with social media trends, it shows audiences that your company or destination is up to date with technology and, as a result, conveys the same sentiment to their view of you as a business. Once a robust online community is formed, it creates an even more compelling sense of belonging. If the customer feels that they belong to a community, they are more likely to buy, renew their membership or attend your leisure destination more regularly. It is essential for leisure facilities to send customers to their social channels-physically in terms of signage and compelling call for action incentives. Are you interested in hearing more?

Social Media Training for the Leisure Industry: Marketing Strategy
Social media has an enormous potential to engage with students-past and future. However, not every platform can meet your needs or audience, so research is crucial to ensuring that time or money is not wasted on non-working platforms. Creating a follow-up with active users on social networks takes time, effort and experimentation. Ensure a dedicated individual or team populates and monitors the platforms regularly and tests different content to see what works. Students all want to know what an institution will give them, but also what they stand for. So let your brand’s personality stand out and build a community across social media that can help distinguish your institution from others on the market.
