Case Study / Nautilus Plus

Connecting digital efforts to in store visits to drive acquisition

Impact

In a context where final conversion happens in store, Nautilus Plus needed to better measure and optimize the real impact of its digital investments.

We deployed an omnichannel strategy combining online and offline data to better understand user journeys and identify the most effective levers. By optimizing campaigns based on key moments and behaviors, we increased qualified in store visits while reducing costs.

This approach turned digital into a true driver of offline acquisition.

Result cost per in store visit decreased by 82%, in store prospects increased by 9% and annual memberships grew by 13%. Proof that a well measured strategy can effectively connect digital efforts to real business outcomes.

The Mandate

As the fitness industry became increasingly competitive with the rise of low-cost gyms and new wellness offerings, Nautilus Plus sought to increase memberships for its annual Boomerang program. Since most memberships were still purchased in-club, the challenge was to connect digital marketing efforts with offline results and better understand the customer journey leading to conversion. 

The creation and launch of the Boomerang membership which includes a credit for every day you train is another demonstration of our powerful differentiation and market leadership; everything has been set up to support regular participation, which is an essential condition for our members to get the results they’re looking for. -  Martin Légaré, CEO, Nautilus Plus 

So the mandate was to increase the number of in-club prospects and annual memberships while improving the measurement and optimization of digital initiatives driving offline conversions. 

The team at Adviso really listened to our needs, they proposed innovative solutions that produced results.
