8. Marketing Strategy
In April 2012 we began offering 20 classes for $20 to new customers on deal sites like
Groupon and Living Social; and have sold over 7,000 deals to date. Our cost for
customer acquisition is $10 (deal sites keep 50% of revenue). The primary reasons
given for purchasing, beyond the low price, were the variety of classes and Tauris
McBride’s inspirational story. This method has proven more effective than traditional
advertising, because it guarantees customers attendance. It has also given us a tech
savvy customer base which allows us to stay connected via social media.
Target Demographic
• Women, 26 to 35; who live, work or go to school in Manhattan, who are looking to
lose weight or get in better shape
• 1.6 million people live in Manhattan and 2.3 million workers commute daily
• Manhattan workers earn more than workers in the outer boroughs
• Women are 72% of yoga practitioners and 85% of Zumba practitioners
• 92% of women pass information about deals they find to others

9. Customer Retention
• Customers average 2 classes per week and most exhaust their classes in 2 months
• During this time they develop relationships with instructors and other customers
• Not only do our instructors have high credentials and years of experience, they
truly believe in our mission; inspiring customers with their passion and
commitment to helping others change their lives
• Deal seekers recognize the value JKM offers (variety, quality instructors, low price)
• The majority of our regular sales are to customers who purchased online deals
• We currently add 15 – 25 regular members per month
• Customer retention will increase when we have a full time sales and support staff
