How Fitness Franchise Brands Outperform Facebook Benchmarks with Local Advertising
In the fitness industry, localized advertising isn’t just a strategy – it’s a necessity. Gyms, personal trainers, and wellness studios operate on a hyperlocal level, where proximity and community trust drive memberships. Franchises and multi-location fitness brands need scalable solutions that deliver localized engagement while maintaining cost efficiency.
Tiger Pistol’s local social advertising approach enables fitness franchises to launch hyper-targeted campaigns at scale, ensuring they connect with consumers in a meaningful way while achieving stronger performance metrics:
- CPM: 57% lower than Facebook, allowing fitness businesses to stretch their budgets further.
- CPC: 44% lower, ensuring more efficient spend on traffic campaigns.
By deploying brand-approved ads through local business pages rather than a national brand page, fitness franchises empower individual locations to engage customers with content that reflects local trends, seasonal promotions, and regional preferences – driving more in-store traffic and membership sign-ups.
Across all industries, Tiger Pistol’s local advertising platform consistently delivers more cost-effective results compared to Facebook benchmarks. On average, brands using Tiger Pistol’s scalable local campaign model see a 60% lower CPM and a 21% lower CPC than with Facebook’s national campaigns. Even during peak advertising seasons like Q4, Tiger Pistol’s technology ensures campaign stability, with only a 10.5% increase in CPM compared to Facebook’s 28% surge.
For fitness franchises, executing localized campaigns at scale serves as a powerful competitive advantage – unlocking stronger customer relationships, increased memberships, and higher sales.
