Question asked by Philip Carpenter Lee 277 days ago

Has anyone hired a Public Relations firm to represent their fitness company?

Business DevelopmentMarketing and Sales

I am curious if any micro businesses have worked with a PR firm. If so, what were the results? What did the PR firm do for you? How did it help your business? I am primarlily interested in micro businesses with 1 - 10 trainers, but all feedback is welcomed.

Thanks for your question Philip.

I guess my company would qualify as a micro business.

I have not hired a PR firm to represent my company, however, I thought I would share with you something interesting.

Through this site, I gained a client who holds a senior position in an international PR firm. This firm has earned the highest accolades in the advertising industry. They are a global organization.

This is what she said to me. "Joanne, your profile is thorough. You've covered all your bases. There is nothing that you haven't covered."

For me personally this speaks volumes. It is a high compliment to the creators of IDEA Fitness Connect, Jason and Kelli Davis. The client who I earned through Fitness Connect says that this portal is an effective means to market oneself and/or their business. I am of the opinion that we as fitness professionals must take this generous provision much more seriously.

Sixteen million people who visit the site is nothing to sneeze at. I don't know if you were at the recent IDEA World convention. If you were, Mike Bannan presented a lecture on IDEA Fitness Connect. When one entered the auditorium on the screen was the map of the United States. On the map, there were indications of the number of hits IDEA Fitness Connect as receiving by state in real time. I was left extremely impressed at the amount of activity that was happening across the US but in particular on the east cost.

I encourage you Philip, if you have not yet, to fill our your profile completely and follow up on the prompts IDEA Fitness Connect gives you in order to have a profile that is completed 100%.

Hope this response is of help to you.
