Seasonality

When gym demand peaks in Hamilton.

Searches for gyms in Hamilton run close to their high of about 12,390 a month through September, October, January and April, and drop to about 9,830 in July, a swing of roughly 26% from the slowest month to the busiest.

We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before the busy stretch, so campaigns are already learning when demand arrives. In slower months like July, the money usually works harder on retention, rebook reminders and win-back messages to past members than on chasing fewer searches.
