- Being an American brand, how should we adapt to create a positive brand-image in the minds of the consumers in
India and differentiate from the clutter of other Indian fitness brands?
- What should be the marketing plan to make gymming an integral part of daily lives in India?
In this age of internet technology and with an increasingly sophisticated and time-hungry Indian public expecting information on the best priced and most offers from their fitness centre, how can we use social media to keep and attract
Methodology:
Conduct market surveys Visit people in the community, do a one on one interview with a small size of people to understand their needs. Conduct group meetings Speak to some people that go to gyms and some that don't.
Analysis:
What is it that is required to be done based on the likes, beliefs and preferences of the Indian people? What are they looking for in a gym? How do we cater to their needs and how do we get them to the gym? Keep in mind, we do not want to know what our competitors are doing. It has to be purely on individual feedback.
Strategy:
Analysis to be studied and strategies to be planned accordingly.
Sample Size:
100 per city (At least 4 cities, 2 metros, 2 tier II cities) Gold's Gym is present in 39 cities (cities can be selected based on convenience)
