SWOT analysisOur business strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Strengths
Whats good about our business. Strong social media presence.
Fastest growing with 8700 net locations internationally.
Regular upgradation of the staff, equipment and centres.
Availability of basic requirements like individual locker rooms and showers.
Updated equipment so that the need of the customers are met.
Weaknesses
Whats not so good about our business. Absence of a mobile application.
No concept of virtual training sessions.
Lack of Effective referral programme.
Organising events for the target audience.
Absence of collaboration ideas with other businesses like Protein brands, social media influencers.
Opportunities
External factors we could take advantage of. More Collaboration with other businesses and influencers.
After the end of the pandemic there needs to be virtual training sessions also for people who do not want to go to a crowded place.
More referral programmes need to be run. Those bringing references needs to be awarded accordingly.
Sponsoring of fitness and sports events will make the business more prominent.
There needs to be mobile application highlighting the daily workout target and achievements.
Threats
External factors that could cause problems for us. Rising Competition in the market.
Fading away of the innovative practices.
Changes in regulation causing the cancellation of license.
How well address each weakness and threatThe method to use the social media and the promotion of the business can reduce the weakness of the business. There needs to be a customisable application for the fitness business so that people can track their daily work-out through their watches, mobile phones or laptops. People these days prefer to carry their fitness centre. It means booking fitness sessions online can enable individual to connect with us from any corner of the world.
The marketMarket researchT The above figure shows the data collected from an advertisement on the monthly publication for health and fitness magazine for the potential customers who have shown interested in fitness programmes. A questionnaire method was adopted to obtain these outcomes. It shows that new people are more interested to join the work-out regime than those who are already a part of it.
The introduction of a more effective promotion system depicts that people are more inclined towards getting a referral bonus.
When the potential customers were asked about the pricing of Crow fitness business. People mostly said the pricing is not so favourable. They do not meet the needs of the people.
When the customers were quizzed about the accessibility of the business there was a very mixed reaction. In the initial part of the year a lot of people denied to it. But by March there were people who said that the fitness centres are quite accessible.
The business is very much popular in the social media platforms as is understood from the data collected above. It means most of the young people are aware of the business through social media. There needs to be the positive utilisation of this very fact by the implementation of digital marketing techniques and bringing on the innovation in this field.
The problemThere are very few options for people who are not going to the centres to get fit. Whereas a lot of people want to stay in their houses as well as stay fit.
Our solutionHow our business solves the problem our unique selling point. This is how well succeed in the market.
The people these days have still not come out of the shocks of the pandemic yet. This being the reason why there are a lot of people still not going out for work-out sessions. There is the rising demand for booking of virtual sessions by trainers. When trainer trains people online there is a feeling of being attended. This will increase the consistency of the clients. This will also keep them motivated. There needs to be introduction of a mobile application as well. So that if someone is unable to keep up with the sessions, they must have a track of their fitness journey themselves
Our target marketThe group of customers that we aim to sell our products or services to.
