While increasing brand awareness to boosting your revenue, you can provide clients with all the products they need to optimize their workouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to discover everything there is to know about setting up a successful store in your studio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-takeaways\">Key takeaways <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knowing your clientele and exploring what they value is essential before launching your merch line. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offering a mix of items both in-studio and online expands your reach and convenience for clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular promotion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/rewards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">loyalty programs<\/a>, and fresh inventory keep your merchandise initiative engaging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-guide-to-selling-merchandise-at-your-pilates-studio\">Your Guide to Selling Merchandise at Your Pilates Studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that entering the world of retail may be a bit intimidating, so we\u2019ve created a list of steps to follow when setting up your own Pilates studio merchandise space. Enter this new area of business with confidence with our exclusive tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-research-the-market\">1. Research the market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first things you should do before you start selling Pilates merchandise is familiarize yourself with the market. This will give you a clearer perspective on how to approach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/pilates\/software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">setting up a retail space at your Pilates studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by looking at the latest products that would optimize your clients\u2019 workout experience. There are a variety of options to choose from (which we\u2019ll get into later), so it\u2019s important to look at your current clientele and establish which would help them optimize their workout.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-11747\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"\/knowledge-sharing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-2.jpg\" alt=\"A Pilates studio owner, creating her merchandising plan. \" class=\"wp-image-11747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-2.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-2-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll soon realize that your customers hold the answers to all your Pilates merchandise questions. Consider the types of products they would be interested in and what would help them maximize their time at your studio. It would also be wise to look at their spending habits at your facility to establish how much they\u2019d be willing to pay for items. This way you\u2019ll know whether or not to splurge on larger equipment or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, when researching the market get to know your competitors. Take a look at the types of products they\u2019re selling and the cost of each. By studying their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to selling merchandise, you can come up with your own strategy to stand out in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-decide-what-to-sell\">2. Decide what to sell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the products available and what your competition is doing, you can start to think about the types of merchandise you want to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mats, water bottles, straps, exercise balls, and more! These would be a welcome addition to your retail space, as clients would use them in every class. You can even consider selling bigger items like the Reformer or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilates.com\/products\/wunda-pilates-chair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wunda Chair<\/a>, which are special machines designed to enhance the experience. Bear in mind that such machines can be expensive and costly, so get to know your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/keep-your-pilates-students-coming-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What types of people frequent your studio the most?<\/a> Is it mostly millennials, seniors, or perhaps injured athletes? By getting to know your current clientele, you can establish the products that would attract them most. For instance, athletes may be more inclined to buy the larger special equipment as fitness holds a greater sense of priority in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to being more invested in health, people are also increasingly conscious of the environment. Make sure you show your support by only selling products that are environmentally friendly! After all, people tend to gravitate more towards businesses who support a cause and give back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-make-a-financial-plan\">3. Make a financial plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To sell merchandise at your Pilates studio, you need to create a financial plan. This entails a breakdown of all finances related to your new retail space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your plan, you must include the amount of money that you\u2019re willing to invest in your new venture. When coming up with an amount to invest, consider the space and if you need to make any rearrangements to the layout at your studio, in addition to how much it will cost to source items from your supplier (we\u2019ll delve into that more a little later). Bear in mind that you need to keep this business afloat month after month, so make the necessary calculations to ensure that you can sustain this new endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This document must also include the price list of your Pilates merchandise. Coming up with the cost of items can be difficult, so assess how much you\u2019re spending on the production of merchandise to calculate your retail price. Also, consider the spending habits of your clients to ensure that your items are not too expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-set-up-a-selling-system\">4. Set up a selling system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to set up shop! In addition to selling products at your studio, have you considered creating a store online? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several advantages to setting up a virtual store. First, you\u2019re broadening your target audience by putting all your Pilates merchandise into the digital space! Second, you\u2019re providing convenience and ease to your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/software-tools-every-pilates-studio-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WellnessLiving\u2019s all-in-one Pilates studio software<\/a>, we can make this a reality! We allow you to sell merchandise to your customers in three ways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In-store:<\/strong> We provide a variety of point-of-sale hardware for you to choose from and inventory tracking systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Online:<\/strong> Clients can easily purchase merchandise, memberships, and gift cards all your website. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In-app: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/pilates-studio-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Having a branded client app<\/a> allows your members to shop directly from their phones, talk about convenience!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-source-your-items\">5. Source your items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After establishing your selling system, find suppliers who can produce your Pilates studio merchandise. Make sure to do your research as this will be a long-term relationship!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very important to partner with suppliers who understand the vision you have for your Pilates merchandise. The worst thing would be to join forces with someone who isn\u2019t able to deliver a line of products that meet your specific needs and requirements. Find someone that you can trust, who has time for monthly meetings to make sure everything is going smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, consider finding a supplier close to your area to have more control over the production process. This will make it easier for you to check in and ensure that your items are up to your standards. In addition, you\u2019ll be able to save money since you don\u2019t have to worry about expensive shipping costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-promote-promote-promote\">6. Promote, promote, promote!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since people may only know your Pilates studio for your classes, you must advertise your new line of Pilates merchandise! Don\u2019t just rely on word of mouth, as you can reach a much wider audience through various marketing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-11746\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"\/knowledge-sharing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pilates merchandising, Pilates owner doing research\" class=\"wp-image-11746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pilates-Merchandising-1-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are a variety of different ways to entice customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Email marketing<\/a> is an effective method to let your customers know about the latest developments at your facility. Since you already have a list of clients and their contact information, send out emails letting them know that you\u2019re introducing a retail space to your studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reach a larger audience, use social media to spread the word. Social media is a great advertising tool, and it\u2019s free! There are several different platforms to choose from, so study where your clients like to go in the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>Try not to use more than three platforms to promote your Pilates merchandise, as an overflow of information can hurt your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-keep-customers-engaged\">7. Keep customers engaged<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final step to ensure success is to keep your customers engaged. People often get bored and lose interest quickly, so always try your best to maintain their attention!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to keep customers coming back to buy more merchandise is by setting up a loyalty program. WellnessLiving can help you set this up digitally with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/rewards-program-benefit-pilates-studio\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=click&amp;utm_campaign=pl-merchandise-selling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rewards program<\/a>! Through this feature, you can give clients the opportunity to accumulate points every time they make a purchase. Once they\u2019ve reached a certain number of points, offer discounts and free items! When clients realize you appreciate them, they\u2019ll stay loyal to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to keep your customers interested is by consistently keeping up with the market to ensure you always have the latest items on your shelves. There\u2019s always new equipment and advancements in the world of fitness, so make sure you\u2019re up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wellnessliving-makes-merchandising-a-breeze\">WellnessLiving makes merchandising a breeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to selling merchandise and taking payments at your Pilates studio, you don\u2019t need a patchwork of tools. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/best-management-software-for-pilates-studios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WellnessLiving gives you an integrated point-of-sale (POS) system<\/a> you can check out clients in person, online, or on the go \u2014 no separate cash register or third-party payment processor required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From merchandising yoga pants and reformer straps to selling gift cards and e-packs, you can build an online store that\u2019s live 24\/7 and accessible via your website or the WellnessLiving client app. We also handle recurring billing and stored payment methods, so if a client subscribes to a product bundle or membership box, everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, you can offer, sell, and get paid all from one dashboard.
