From Local Wellness Service to Multi-Unit National Brand

Building the marketing and sales infrastructure for wellness expansion.

The Challenge: An emerging assisted-stretch and wellness brand was expanding into multiple markets and needed a marketing and sales system capable of supporting growth at both the corporate and local level. New locations required consistent positioning, customer acquisition, promotional strategy, sales processes, and grand-opening support, while regional leaders needed the tools to develop their markets effectively. The organization was also building in a category where recurring memberships, introductory offers, and ongoing customer engagement are central to the business model. 


The Solution: Serving as Fractional CMO/CRO, we developed and deployed an integrated marketing and sales system spanning corporate strategy, regional market development, and individual location execution. The work included grand-opening marketing plans, promotional calendars and offers, customer acquisition programs, sales processes, brand and campaign development, commercial production, and local marketing systems that could be replicated as new locations opened. We also worked directly with regional developers on market positioning and location sales while supporting corporate leadership with broader marketing, revenue, and operational needs.

Bottom-Line Results

  • National & regional marketing systems developed 
  • $15K per-location grand-opening marketing framework created
  • Corporate + local marketing systems aligned
  • Commercial campaigns + promotional programs developed from concept through production
