Email Marketing System
An Email Marketing System is a tool that helps gyms and fitness centers stay in touch with their members through organized email communications. It's like a digital assistant that helps send workout schedules, membership renewals, special promotions, and class announcements to many people at once. Popular examples include Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or specialized gym management software with built-in email features. These systems help track who opens emails, manage contact lists, and create professional-looking messages without needing technical skills.
