Their Story

Sports and Fitness Exchange is the only premier liquidator for Nordictrack, ProForm, Freemotion, Gold’s Gym and Weslo in Arizona, AND one of the only in the US to ship nationwide. Having been in business since 2010, the staff of Sports and Fitness Exchange have become experts in the fitness industry. They sell many current models of treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, rowers and home gyms at 50 to 70 percent off retail.

The Challenge

Increasing Online Revenue Outside of Arizona

In order to increase online revenue and to remain profitable with such small margins, our team needed to build strategically targeted campaigns in high-value cities across the US. We also needed to be able to measure that our digital advertising efforts were driving profitable sales that would have not occurred without advertising.
