#1: Be happy, have fun and give joy

Premier Transition is Here!

“We’re excited to inform you that the product training for the Premier Transition pilot was delivered last week and was a huge success with the selected franchisees. It was fantastic to finally see our idea brought to life in the form of the resources, lesson plans etc.. 10 months on from when the vision was first discussed.” Comments, Karl Fox The training covered all three programmes, Play-trition, Fun-trition and Fit-trition over a three day period with lots of interactive sessions, providing our pilot franchises with a detailed insight to the new and exciting opportunity they have to offer their existing customers as well as creating lots of new ones!

The pilot will take place during the summer term and we’ll keep you all updated with its progress. The official launch will be in September and we will be selecting a number of franchisees within the next few weeks as part of the first phase, giving them the opportunity to become a Premier Transition licensee. The training for this will be held over the summer holidays.

We’ll leave you with Andy and James to provide some feedback after attending the Premier Transition training last week.

#2: Create wonderfully enjoyable experiences

Award Winning Campaign Set to WOW Customers This Summer...

Fresh off the back of last week’s award winning success, we can confirm we’ll be working in partnership with Chewits this Whitsun & summer to provide a free day of sport to parents. Not only did this campaign generate huge brand exposure across the nation, it proved a great opportunity to welcome brand new customers never seen before onto your Inspire to Engage activities. We heard many success stories last summer of franchisees delivering ‘wow’ to these new customers, thus converting into paying customers during the summer and beyond.

For last year’s campaign, former GB athlete Darren Campbell backed the initiative. This year, we have a number of potential ambassadors lined up, and at this stage former England and Chelsea footballer, Graeme Le Saux is the front runner and seemingly an ideal fit.

We’ll be providing you with more details over the coming weeks, including how parents will secure their free day of sport. We hope to go live with the campaign in early May.

#3: Deliver “wow” with every interaction

The Golden Mile Launches Road to Rio Challenge

The challenge was announced to schools this Tuesday and we’ve had over 30 schools register an interest already; these schools will begin the Road to Rio Challenge after Easter.

For Golden Mile licensees, the Road to Rio Challenge adds value to existing customers, open doors to new customers and presents an attractive proposition to local authorities. For example, our licensees in Surrey have teamed up with Active Surrey (CSP), who have already registered 140 schools (40,000 children) to take part in their version of Road to Rio, and in doing so, have cemented a strong stakeholder relationship.

Any questions?

If Golden Mile Licensees have any questions about the new Road to Rio Challenge, please join Karl Fox on a GoToMeeting Q&A this Tuesday 29th March from 1pm-2pm.

Join the session by following the below link at 1pm, Tuesday.

Provide an Inspirational Ambassador Visit For Your Best Customer(s)...

We’re delighted to team up with Dame Kelly Holmes Trust to provide inspirational athlete visits to schools, leading up to Rio and beyond. The ambassador visit includes a personalised video from the athlete to the children, an inspirational ‘Olympic values’ school assembly, Q&A session, interactive training session, classroom visits and an Olympic style awards ceremony.

Have you considered investing in one of the four packages on your schools’ behalf? An athlete visit this summer might just seal the deal as schools look to firm up budgets for next year.

#5: Build a positive team and family spirit

Premier Sport’s Road to Rio Set to Launch!

Following the launch of The Golden Mile’s ‘Road to Rio’ Programme, you will shortly be receiving information regarding Premier Sport’s exciting new Road to Rio programme. This programme is designed to help you gain leverage into as many schools as possible during the summer term. There are two ways you can do this; either you can fund the programme on behalf of your schools or sell it to schools. The mechanics and programme deliverables are both very simple and will prove to be a great way to access new schools in an attempt to secure business from September.

Furthermore, we’re very excited to announce that we’re partnering with British Fencing to add national value to this programme. Every school accessing any element of the Premier Sport Road to Rio programme will enter a FREE prize draw to win an exclusive visit and coaching session at British Fencing’s Elite Performance Centre in London!!

For more will follow very soon.
