1 year of 12 Week “No Money Down” Marketing Systems
So here is my secret, well not a secret anymore! This is my reoccurring 12 week deal site cycle Fit For Life Solutions does. It brings in thousands of dollars per cycle and 100’s of clients without fail. It will vary from bootcamp owner to bootcamp owner and city to city. But you can make this work as successfully as I do. I use 3 Bay Area deal sites; www.PlumDistrict.com, www.JuiceInTheCity.com and www.Tippr.com. I have used Facebook, www.LivingSocial.com and www.GroupON.com and they have been great, but they are hard to land on a consistent run basis because of their back log of people wanting to run. The deal i run is my “$247 4 week Bootcamp program + $50 gym membership, a $297 value for 39$!”. So find 3 of the biggest local sites you can in your area and start working them. So here is the format:
Week 1 : Deal Site #1 Runs
Week 3 : Deal Site #2 Runs
Week 5 : Deal Site #3 Runs
Week 6-12 : Convert from Coupon to EFT.
This looks easy, and yes it is! In all the times i’ve run with deal sites, and it has been dozens and dozens, i have found that if Deal #1 runs on week one, its usually the next week until the customer will redeem their coupon. So that gives you a week cushion to each run. So with that said, a little more detail added to the format:
Week 5 : Deal Site #1 Customers end their 4 week run and are ready to convert.
Week 7 : Deal Site #2 Customers end their 4 week run and are ready to convert.
Week 9 : Deal Site #3 Customers end their 4 week run and are ready to convert.
And this is key, once your deal runs, you have 12 weeks to schedule another one, i have found it easy that once you have ran with a site, and have proven to bring in the sales and make it a win / win, sites will have no problem setting up a reoccurring deal run about every 3 months. Here are some numbers from my past 3 runs to give you an idea of what im talking about;
Week 1 : PlumDistrict runs and sells : 117 deals @ $39 = $4,563
Week 3 : JuiceInTheCity runs and sells : 136 deals @ $39 = $5,304
Week 5 : Tippr runs and sells : 89 deals @ $39 = $3,471
These numbers are consistent, ranges about these numbers listed above, give or take 20 plus of minus. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is that you has your closing and converting down! Me and Forrest close and keep around 25% of all coupon people, doesn’t seem like a high percent, but with such a large volume of people, honestly it doesn’t matter. We use “Limited Spot” scarcity tactic, and it works like a charm. Even in group settings, where we announce to a group of 40+ that we have 10 spots left for the class, and around 20 of them are coupon people. Easy process, works like a charm, they rush for the clipboard with there credit cards in hand! So lets do some math;
PlumDistrict : 117 people : $4,563
JuiceInTheCity : 136 people : $5,304
Tippr : 89 people : $3,471
Total : 342 people : $13,338 @ 50% for the deal sites cut ( But we offer an intangible service, so we lose nothing by offering such a HUGE discount. Its like someone handing thousands of dollars and 100’s of clients for doing nothing more then what you are already doing anyway.) $6,669
342 people x .25 = 85 people closed. My average close amount is $137 a month, based on discounts, days of the week attending and commitment length down from $247 a month.
85 x 137 = $11,642….. How many weeks in a year? 52 weeks, exactly. So you could technically do this 4 times a year give or take a few weeks, if you have all the kinks worked out and have your systems in place. Do the math, its a simple process, and if you don’t believe me… give it a shot, and let me know when you buy your first Ferrari.
12 weeks. $6,669 Profit, 342 prospects, 85 new clients closed, increased revenue by
$11,642 a month.
Times 4!
1 Year. $26,676 Profit, 1368 prospects, 340 new clients closed, increased revenue by
$46,568 a month.
After running multiple times, you would think that it would be marketed to the same people over and over and numbers would drop, but no, tha’ts not true. Their subscriber base grows every time the 12 weeks come up again.

Great post Roy! I will look out for a few other daily deal sites and rotate these. Any tips on your conversion process?
You and Forrest are killing it if your able to get those deals running on a regular schedule. I have had a lot of success with Daily Deal sites in my area but they are ALL hard to land and so it takes connecting with them consistently to really make it work and that I know, so thanks for sharing!
