soOlis.com Develops Strategic Partnership with Club Industry for Its New Buyers’ Guide!
May 28, 2014, Nashville, TN—Club Industry has created a strategic partnership with soOlis.com to improve the usability and functionality of its online Buyers’ Guide to include the ability to compare fitness equipment. As part of the agreement, soOlis.com, the No. 1 fitness and wellness resource website, will manage Club Industry’s Buyers’ Guide.
This partnership allows Club Industry, the most trusted media source for fitness business professionals, to utilize soOlis’ detailed commercial product information for Club Industry’s new and improved Buyers’ Guide. Gym owners, managers and anyone else can visit Club Industry’s new and improved Buyers’ Guide to compare commercial fitness equipment while exploring the product information, images, specifications and videos that Club Industry’s Buyers’ Guide also offers on fitness products.
“By adding the compare option to our Buyers’ Guide, we have improved and simplified the buying experience for our audience,” said Marty McCallen, publisher of Club Industry. “Before club operators make any small or large purchasing decisions, they now can turn to Club Industry’s Buyers’ Guide to get a side-by-side comparison of the features of equipment, helping them narrow their search to the products that are most appropriate for their facilities. More people now turn to online resources before making purchasing decisions, so this was the next logical step in the evolution of our Buyers’ Guide.”
Brad Bishop, president of soOlis, said: “We have grown our business over the past four years by managing the fitness equipment dealers’ product information on their websites. Because of the years of experience, we have been able to improve our offerings each year. We’re excited about the strategic partnership with Club Industry, one of the keystones in the fitness industry. We look forward to working with them on their new Buyers’ Guide. It will be the only Buyers’ Guide to show all current products, images, specifications and videos (if available) and give users the ability to request a quote on multiple products. The new Buyers’ Guide will further support Club Industry’s mission of connecting buyers and sellers. We look forward to a long strategic partnership with Club Industry.”
