Ensure your marketing is working with Arnold's Power Marketing section

 ### Why Tracking Your Advertising Spend Is Crucial for Success In today’s digital age, advertising drives business growth, but without tracking your spend, you’re operating in the dark. Knowing where your money goes and what it achieves is essential to turning a haphazard campaign into a strategic winner. Tracking isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the key to maximizing every dollar you invest. First, tracking your ad spend reveals your return on investment (ROI) and highlights what’s working. You can see if a big-budget social media ad is driving sales or just racking up likes, while a smaller search ad quietly delivers results. This data lets you cut waste, shift funds to high performers, and refine your approach—plus, it uncovers audience insights, showing you who’s engaging and how to better target them. Lastly, monitoring your spend keeps you adaptable in a fast-changing landscape. Markets shift, platforms evolve, and campaigns that once worked can falter. By keeping an eye on th...

🎂 Birthday Report

One of our Partners came up with a really good suggestion the other day ...      🎂 He said - do you know when you get SMSs from businesses saying things like: Hi, it's your birthday ... and for being a member of our rewards club, we're offering you this free gift for, just for you, and just today on your birthday " It would be really cool if we could do that in Arnold too, he finished.  Well, you ask and we deliver.  Now when you log on to the system we will automatically check for any of your members who have a birthday today. And from there you send them an email (see a previous blog post on creating templates) offering them any gift you like!  Enjoy! 

New Addition to the Sale

 We just added a little bonus report to the Sales Page.  If you click the Classes button on the Account Sale, you'll be able to see which classes were allocated against this sale!  This is really handy when one of your members wishes to dispute their classes when they're on a pay by the class membership plan. Please let us know what you think of this new feature! 

New Report - Simple Class Listing

We had a request from a subscriber last week for something that we thought we already had ... but it turns out we didn't!  It turns out that we didn't have a simple report that allowed you to enter in a date range, and get a list of classes and their attendances during that period!  So ... now we do! Plus we added in two additional filters too - you can narrow it down by class name and/or instructor.  Simply go to the Class section on the Reports menu. 

New Chart - Accounts Created Over Time

As a gym owner, have you ever had a suspicion that most of your new members came in summer? And that winter was a really hard time to gain new members?  Well one of our clients did and wanted a report to confirm. So, we obliged!  Here is their chart of accounts created month by month:  What do you notice? They were right! You can see a definite spike in February and a huge lull in June, which confirms that for a gym in the southern hemisphere, most people don't like joining gyms in winter!  If you're a client of Arnold Gym Management, and want a custom chart designed, please log a support ticket and we'll get back to with our thoughts! 

Power Marketing!

World renowned business coach Brad Sugars wrote a book called " Buying Customers ". The premise is that for every dollar you spend on marketing, then you should get back at least that dollar and then some, in order for that marketing to have been worth it.  So this begs the question - how do you know if your marketing is working? The newest feature added to Arnold Gym Management is something we call Power Marketing!  This feature allows you to create a  Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) and attach it to anything, regardless of how your marketing works.  Let us give you a quick walkthrough:  Firstly, you will need your Business GUID. Each business that subscribes to Arnold has their own GUID and you can get yours from this screen (red arrows):  Next, go to Marketing (three lines below General Info marked with the red arrow above). And then you will see a new button called Power Marketing. Click that to come to this screen:  This will show you an overvi...
