Marketing Physical Equipment with a Virtual Presence

January 13, 2023 By 901am

Sometimes you have to get creative when it comes to marketing different types of items. And if you sell physical equipment, one way to approach your audience is through having a specific type of virtual presence.

To give a few examples, consider if you have a physical product like exercise equipment, and the options that you have like publishing video reviews, creating training videos, using social media to your advantage, and focusing on the fact that you understand your audience. All of those different marketing options can give you a broad range of promotional opportunities.

Publishing Video Reviews

Consider if you’re trying to promote or showcase large pieces of exercise equipment that you sell. A good example of marketing would be the way allworkoutroutines.com publishes Bowflex reviews. The review in itself is a way to promote several things. Your company brand gets out there. You get to showcase the piece of equipment in progress and in use. And depending on the compelling way that you edit the video, you can make people want to buy immediately because they want to feel like they’re part of the tribe that you’re representing.

Creating Training Videos

Closely related to that is the idea of creating training videos. People don’t naturally know how to use a lot of different exercise equipment. They are not entirely certain what muscles get worked. They don’t know what motions they’re supposed to go through. They don’t know how long or how intensely the equipment is designed for. When you create training videos, not only are you answering all those questions, but you’re also associating your brand name and that product with an essential, valuable quality. The fact that your company is taking the time to create these videos means that they get value not just from the product, but from the infrastructure as well.

Using Social Media To Your Advantage

You also want to use social media to your advantage. Using exercise equipment often is a solo endeavor. But, if you show people using it on social media, then what is an individual effort becomes a group identity. The people involved with CrossFit are a great example of how to use this sort of marketing ideology effectively.

Understanding Your Audience

In the end, marketing physical equipment like exercise products is all about understanding your audience. If you don’t get to interact with these people in person, then you have to create a virtual identity that they can connect with. Visuals are the best way to accomplish this, but then you have to figure out how to present whatever it is that you’re selling in a way that appreciates the psychology of the situation. People want to be the best versions of themselves, and you have to figure out how to illustrate that your equipment will help them do that.
