Magicline is always looking for ways to offer more benefits to its clients. Despite providing a comprehensive system to manage fitness studios, Magicline is an Open Platform that does not require clients to give up their preferred tools.

Empowering Sales and Lead Management with ClubPlanner
Managing sales and tracking potential customer leads are crucial for every fitness clubs’ growth and success. These tasks can be simplified with the right tools.
ClubPlanner offers a variety of features such as a comprehensive calendar and schedule, a lead capturing system, and a visible pipeline that tracks the member’s journey from being a potential lead to a full-time gym member. These tools help manage sales activities effectively and identify promising leads with ease.
Please note: The data presented on the mockups has been aggregated and anonymized from a selected group within the ClubPlanner user base to ensure data privacy while presenting reliable patterns and averages.
By integrating with ClubPlanner, Magicline customers can significantly enhance their strategies for lead generation. As the integrated platform provides detailed figures about each lead generation channel’s performance, customers can pinpoint exactly where their leads come from and their respective conversion rates. This enables them to reinforce strategies and maximize lead conversion potential.
The integration allows users to access these features using their existing Magicline accounts, eliminating the need to switch between different software or repeat login procedures. This results in a seamless user experience as operations for studio owners and staff become centralized within a single platform.
Now, let’s delve deeper into how Magicline customers draw upon ClubPlanner to gather vital insights that feed into their sales and lead management strategies:
- Studios using ClubPlanner draw leads from various channels, each with its own set of unique benefits, converting 1 in 4 leads on average.
- External action, including out-of-platform marketing initiatives, proves notably effective, generating over 15% of leads with an impressive 80% conversion rate.
- Referrals also play a significant role, supplying an average of 10% of all leads, but with an even higher conversion rate at 85%.
- Similarly, 10% of leads arise from online subscriptions, which tend to convert at a rate of 90%.
- As many as 60% of our customers’ leads are driven by online trial training bookings, yet these typically have a lower conversion rate, averaging around 10%.
Understanding these conversion rates and the productivity of each channel allows Magicline customers to strategically invest resources where they gain the highest returns.
ClubPlanner’s integration leads to more focused, strategic, and ultimately successful lead generation. The ability to make data based decisions enable Magicline customers to optimize their marketing efforts and concentrate resources on the most productive channels.
Retaining Members for Longer with ClubPlanner
In the competitive fitness industry, retaining members is as challenging as it is crucial. Rising to this challenge, ClubPlanner offers a suite of features designed to keep members engaged, active, and motivated. When integrated with Magicline, gym owners can use these features to strategic effect.
Starting with the Safety Nets feature, ClubPlanner enables gym owners to identify and reach out to members who are likely to terminate their gym membership. This proactive approach offers an essential opportunity to intervene, potentially averting a significant loss.
The Customer Feedback Research feature gathers insights on satisfaction levels, preferences, and valuable suggestions for improvement. Additionally, the Automated Email Flow helps maintain a steady line of communication with members, providing personalized messages that encourage continued membership.This integration enables member data to be easily accessible and seamlessly transferred between the two systems, simplifying operations for studio owners.
ClubPlanner also offers a robust Loyalty Program. By rewarding members for their commitment and continued use of the gym, these loyalty programs serve as an effective tactic to secure member retention and encourage increased gym usage.
All these features have demonstrated their effectiveness, with several fitness studios running on Magicline reporting a significant 4-6% reduction in inactive membership rates over a nine-month period after adopting ClubPlanner.
Assuming the average monthly membership cost in DACH region is €50, as per recent estimations, for a studio with 1000 members a 5% decrease in inactive memberships due to ClubPlanner integration translates into the retention of 50 members. Over the course of a year, this represents a revenue preservation of approximately €30 thousand annually.
Notably, our analysis revealed that Magicline’s customers who implemented an effective retention strategy, specifically targeting members with short-term memberships, succeeded in encouraging 10%-14% of these members to extend their memberships across various locations by sending personalized messages.
Assuming the average monthly gym membership is €50 and a fitness studio has 1000 members, successfully improving retention by an additional 10% (or 100 members) would result in an annual gain of over €60 thousand.
Maximizing Operational Efficiency
Efficiency is the key to successful business management, and ClubPlanner is specifically designed to maximize results while minimizing both effort and cost. The integrated platform creates a unified command center from where all these benefits are controlled, redefining operational convenience and efficiency.
Features such as Workflow Automation eliminate repetitive tasks, allowing staff to concentrate on important business activities. Dashboard makes it easy for management to monitor achievements in real-time, helping adjust strategies when needed. More detailed Reports provide a comprehensive view of key metrics, offering actionable insights, while the Messages & Tasks feature ensures seamless communication and task allocation based on the insights.
Let’s consider a fitness studio that spends, on average, 10 hours a week on repetitive tasks. By using the Workflow Automation provided by ClubPlanner, studios are capable of cutting this time in half, enabling a saving of up to 260 hours per year. More than just a cost-efficient solution, these saved hours can be redirected towards tasks aimed at business growth, like customer service or marketing.
Further, the Sales Pipeline across all locations provides an invaluable resource for users. All these features combined make it considerably easier for companies to track patterns, progress, and performance across all locations, translating data into actionable business strategies.
Now, let’s understand how these features have had real-world impacts for Magicline customers.
Successful sales calls often come down to strategic timing. While the average effectiveness hovers around 25%, some patterns can significantly boost success rates. Thursdays, for example, outperform other days, with around 40% of calls resulting in successful contracts. The magic hours tend to be between 9 and 10 am and again from 3 to 4pm.
Let’s assume a studio makes around 100 sales calls per week. Without any specific strategy, they might expect an average success rate of 25%. However, by applying ClubPlanner’s insights about the optimal times for sales calls and adjusting its operations accordingly, the studio could instead achieve a success rate closer to 40%. This translates into 40 successful contracts, 15 more than average.
Assuming a membership fee of €50 per month, this increase in successful contracts equates to an extra €750 earned in a week. Over the course of a year, this could amount to a staggering €39,000 in additional revenue – a clear testament to the financial significance of embracing ClubPlanner’s insights.
Studio operators can leverage these insights due to Magicline’s aggregation of data across its entire platform, a unique offering that can stay ahead of others. This integration with ClubPlanner takes it a step further by enabling the application of such strategic insights directly from the sales dashboard.
ClubPlanner’s user-friendly dashboards provide an instant overview of these patterns, offering a detailed breakdown of calls made, those which were successful versus unanswered, and the respective percentages. This allows for an informed decision-making process.
By integrating with ClubPlanner, Magicline customers can easily align calls with these optimal times, substantially enhancing conversion rates and utilizing the sales team’s efforts more efficiently.
