Effective Step Challenges
Prizes & Sponsorship
When someone says ‘Challenges’ do you only think of ‘8 weeks to a bikini body’ type Challenges, or ’30 days to a six pack’ apps, or maybe the 10,000 steps a day fund raising Challenges, and are you very not excited by any of those? If so, then you are in for an awesome surprise. We’ll open the door on an unlimited number of Challenges that will be popular, ooze your beliefs and incorporate all your favourite bits of advice.
Do you know my most popular Challenges were often the cardiovascular ones! One year over 200 people signed up for a Challenge that was promoted just like this
‘Haven’t done anything fitnessey for a while? Want to go from being a walker to a runner, hike happily up hills or just not puff going up stairs? Then this is the Challenge for you.’
160 people did it the year before, and a 100 the year before that! It kept growing. Want to know what the 2nd most popular one was? Or why we created a cardiovascular Challenge and how it was judged?
Had you decided Challenges take too much time and effort? Learn the principles and bets on you will soon see it as your best lead generator and retention tool, that any time and effort will be well rewarded.
Are you wondering how your Challenges can compete with the ones of influencers and celebs? Easily is the answer. Dive in and find out how.
What makes a Challenge successful?
Success is more than just a good number of people signing up to your Challenge. Success is having entrants positively rave about their experience and having more of your clients achieve their goals. It’s also about you enjoying the process of helping people more and that your Challenges are easy to roll out, financially successful and improving the culture of your workplace, strengthening the bonds it has in the community.
While goals and deadlines are ingredients of every successful Challenge, they aren’t what make it successful in all of the ways just mentioned. In pizza terms, goals and deadlines are the pizza base. The success is in the sauce and the toppings 🙂
The toppings are what give you the advantage, the high retention levels, the rave about factor, the ability to pull back on your marketing because your referrals are so high and your community connections so strong, the skills to get more people across the finish line and offer bigger prize pools and better programmes. It goes well beyond what exercises or nutritional advice you dish out, beyond your prize pool and beyond how nice you are. But, it’s all stuff that you can totally rock at.
We all want awesome pizzas…. and Challenges.
