payasUgym.com, the pay-as-you-go health club service, is set for
rapid national expansion after deploying a mobile redemption
solution by mobile marketing and business solutions company
2ergo.
The system puts mobile at the heart of the payasUgym business
model. Customers log onto payasugym.com, register, credit
their account and select their gym of choice. A voucher is
then sent to their mobile device and is redeemed at the selected
gym to gain entry.
This blend of mobile and online has created a scalable business
model and delivers a flexible and convenient way for busy people to
exercise without onerous annual gym membership.
Currently payasUgym.com gives its customers access to 100 gyms,
predominantly in London, but over the next twelve months the
management team aim to treble this number.
The solution also allows the capture of customer data, providing
the business with a platform to create its own mobile marketing
campaigns.
John Stevens, Group Managing Director of 2ergo, said, "The
mobile payment system uses vouchers, which are a perfect mechanic
to manage entry into gyms. By deploying the technology,
payasUgym.com has created a business model that can provide health
clubs with incremental revenue, supplementing income from
membership programmes.
"The use of mobile technology provides wider marketing
opportunities because data can be captured about customers and
their interests, which can be used to deliver other messages and
promotions. In short, payasUgym.com is a simple, profitable
and scalable business with huge potential for national
expansion."
