In order to match the new equipment, Star Bird Fitness's flyers and promotional materials have of course been adjusted, using Doubt VR glasses and "Fitness Battle VR Version" as the main gimmicks to attract nearby customers.
At the same time, it is natural to attract big rewards when a new store opens.
Within a week, all Xingniao Fitness stores offer new customers a 2-hour free trial and discounts when applying for a card. Old customers will also be given some discounts when they experience the VR version in the store or bring friends over.
Although today is Saturday, it is the first day of business after all, and Che Rong did not expect a large number of customers to come.
After all, popularity is something that needs to be accumulated slowly.
What Che Rong was thinking was that a few days before the opening, he would still distribute flyers and hold large-scale promotions to build up popularity. After this week, the popularity of the gym would be about the same, and the popularity of the gym would slowly increase.
What he didn't expect was that before noon, more customers came one after another!
And most of the customers have never been to Star Bird Fitness before.
Che Rong was puzzled at first. How effective was this flyer?
It’s not scientific at all!
He had done a lot of handing out flyers before, but the efficiency was very low.
After all, most people just pick up flyers out of embarrassment. It would be great to send out a hundred flyers to attract one or two customers to the store.
But now, the guy who was sent out to distribute leaflets hasn't come back yet, and so many people are already coming to his door?
Che Rong asked carefully and found out that it was not because of the flyers at all.
These people all came from the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe!
Although a batch of Moyu Internet Cafes have completed the transformation and half of the seats have been replaced with VR glasses, after all, this transformation must be carried out in phases and in batches, and only the TVs of Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0, Moyu Internet Cafe 2.0 and 3.0 can be transformed
The Jingli Life Center is not suitable for such a change for the time being, so the supply of VR equipment is still in short supply.
There are serious queues in the VR experience areas of many Moyu Internet cafes.
At this time, the name of Star Bird Fitness spread among these player groups.
You can only experience "Animal Island" at Moyu Internet Cafe. Although this game is more playable than "Fitness Battle", the key is that there is no space!
So, the next best thing is to go to Star Bird Fitness to experience the Doubt VR glasses for a while, check out the resolution of the glasses, and then use the VR perspective to take a look at the ladies in "Fitness Fight".
"Fitness Battle" is a mobile game. Although only a few people can persist in exercising, most people have downloaded it, have an account, and have received some beautiful clothes.
Therefore, it is a normal idea to come to the VR version and try it out.
Che Rong was so moved that his eyes filled with tears.
Before, he felt that Mr. Pei had helped enough, and it was like giving him a hand in the nick of time, with absolutely no repayment.
As a result, I discovered now that Mr. Pei’s gift is not over yet!
They even used Moyu Internet Cafe to divert the customers who couldn't eat from Moyu Internet Cafe to Star Bird Fitness, so that Xingniao Fitness already had a large number of customers not long after it opened!
Of course, it is impossible for all of these customers to stay. Many of them are just here for a taste, and most likely will not come back in the future.
But no matter what, even if only a small part of these people remain, that will be enough!
Che Rong and several staff members were busy helping customers debug the equipment and guiding them to better experience the "Fitness Battle VR Version".
There are also customers who don’t want to play VR after playing for a while. They feel a bit stuffy and switch to normal mode to continue playing. Starbird Fitness equips each smart fitness clothes drying rack with a large TV, so they can also get a good experience.
To put it bluntly, the VR version just provides customers with an additional experience. Although this experience is not particularly perfect, it is essential.
Che Rong was extremely busy, but it was all happy busyness.
In the past, Star Bird Fitness followed an ordinary gym model. No matter how hard it worked, the business was just like that. Even if Che Rong wanted to be busy, he couldn't muster the energy.
But now it's completely different.
Star Bird Fitness has adopted a new business model, which makes Che Rong feel that the future is bright and even his work is full of motivation!
Sure enough, many times walking in the right direction is more important than anything else.
While he was busy, Che Rong suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Although wearing a mask, but... isn't this Mr. Pei?!
The last time they met, Che Rong didn't know Mr. Pei, but there was no reason why he couldn't recognize him this time.
Although he looks like an ordinary young man on the surface, he can easily do things that others cannot do and create business miracles, which makes his whole back look extremely tall!
"Pei is always worried about the situation here, so why do you come here to take a look?"
"This is so embarrassing!"
"It is a great kindness that cannot be repaid in return."
"How should I greet Mr. Pei..."
Che Rong was very moved.
It stands to reason that Mr. Pei has arranged at least three layouts in advance, which is enough to ensure that the new Star Bird Fitness store will be very popular when it opens. But even so, Mr. Pei still came here to have a look, which is enough to show that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to Star Bird Fitness!
But how should he go up and say hello? Che Rong was confused.
Although Che Rong felt that Mr. Pei had known his identity for a long time, the two had not met on a business level and had only contacted each other privately as a house buyer and seller.
Now go up and call "Mr. Pei"? It seems a bit inappropriate.
Anyone who sees this message can receive cash. Method: Follow the WeChat public account [Read the full text of Pei Qian].
But calling him "Little Brother Pei"? That would be even more inappropriate!
It's definitely not okay to be too serious, but it's not okay to be too casual. If you don't handle it well and make Mr. Pei angry, it's definitely unforgivable.
The degree of this is really hard to grasp.
Just when Che Rong was struggling, he saw Mr. Pei walking around in Star Bird Fitness for a short time, then immediately turned around and left.
"this……"
Che Rong was stunned. Just as he was about to raise his hand to call out to Mr. Pei, the word "Pei" reached the end and was withdrawn.
Mr. Pei came over wearing a mask, he must have wanted to keep a low profile.
What I shouted was really inappropriate.
But with such hesitation, Mr. Pei had already walked away.
This made Che Rong feel very sorry. He really shouldn't have hesitated! If he went up early, he might be able to say a few words to Mr. Pei!
But then I thought again, maybe it’s not necessary.
According to what Mr. Li said, Mr. Pei does things very cleanly and neatly, never does unnecessary things, and has very strict time planning and never wastes time.
President Pei's visit this time was probably just to confirm the status of Xingniao's fitness and see if his arrangement was working.
Now that you've seen it, you can go and don't need to stay any longer.
Therefore, there was no need for Che Rong to go up and say hello. Mr. Pei didn't like such meaningless greetings.
Thinking of this, Che Rong felt a little lucky. It was a good thing that he hesitated just now.
"When dealing with Mr. Pei, you must not apply the rules of interpersonal communication mechanically."
"You still have to be like Mr. Li, understand Mr. Pei's temper and character, and get along with him in a way that Mr. Pei likes."
"There is no need to go up and say hello this time, just keep in touch with each other. I will do a good job in Star Bird Fitness, and Tenda's investment will also make money. This is a win-win situation."
The arrival of Mr. Pei greatly boosted Che Rong's confidence and he continued to devote himself to his work with enthusiasm.
…
After coming out of Xingniao Fitness, Pei Qian was speechless.
What the hell is this a gym?
It’s completely a large Internet cafe!
Even the charging model is very similar to that of an Internet cafe.
It's just that the equipment used in other Internet cafes is computers, but the equipment used here is a smart fitness drying rack, a large TV and VR glasses.
Business is actually pretty good, which is the most outrageous!
The reason why Pei Qian withdrew quickly was because he realized that he had been fooled after just one glance.
Che Rongke had never said before that this gym uses a full set of Tengda equipment!
Che Rong just said that his gym has been in recession in the past two years. Fortunately, with the help of noble people recently, the situation has improved slightly.
Looking back now, who is this "noble person" is very problematic!
If Che Rong had said earlier that he had bought a complete set of Tenda equipment, then it was a matter of two opinions as to whether Pei Qian would let Dream Ventures invest in him.
Therefore, Pei Qian said he was deceived.
Now in this situation, a gym is equipped with smart fitness clothes racks and VR glasses, and there are dozens of products at once.
If Star Bird Fitness stores open more branches, the purchase cost should not be underestimated.
The most important thing is that Star Bird Fitness will also play a certain publicity and promotion role!
In the future, if someone comes to Xingniao to work out, they will play VR games for a while when they are tired, and then when they are happy, they will buy VR glasses at home.
But now that the matter has come to this, Pei Qian has no other solution.
Fortunately, Star Bird Fitness is not large in scale now, and the number of equipment purchased is not very large. When the first wave of craze set off by Doubt VR subsides, the popularity here should also slowly decline.
Tenda only indirectly invested in Star Bird Fitness, so it probably won't make a lot of money.
Really, an ambush from all sides!
How come anyone you meet in life can stab you in the back?
Pei Qian shook his head helplessly and took the car back to continue thinking about spending money unexpectedly before the settlement of this cycle.
…
…
July 22nd, Sunday.
Star Bird Fitness Flagship Store.
Cherong is busier today than yesterday because there are more customers!
Although the gym is not full yet, the attendance rate during peak hours has reached 10%, and the usual attendance rate is 40% to 50%.
The model of Star Bird Fitness is different from other gyms. Other gyms require a card, but Star Bird Fitness allows pay-per-use experience and the charging methods are more diverse.
It really doesn't feel like a gym, but more like an Internet cafe.
Although a single charge will be more expensive, for those customers who want to try something new, paying per use or applying for a monthly card is obviously a safer choice.
Che Rong is thinking that if there is an opportunity in the future, he can outsource the software to allow customers to check the current situation of the gym in real time to see if it is full and whether there are any vacancies.
Although it is impossible to arrange everyone's fitness schedule as tightly as managed fitness, you can at least avoid queuing as much as possible.
