Benefits of Joining iStadia's Sport & Exercise Community
Whatever your profile, from sole trader to corporate enterprise, in any country, if you are operating in the areas of sport or exercise you can benefit from joining iStadia.
The benefits of membership fall into the categories of Marketing, Networking, Reputation Management and Collaboration.
Marketing for Sport & Exercise Businesses
If you are selling a product or service relating to any aspect of sport or exercise (health or fitness), iStadia can help bring you closer to your target market, whether that's local or global, B2C or B2B.
Our content-driven platform allows you to target the market that you want to reach, through articles, blogs, news and your profile page.
Top marketing benefits: Articles, news and blogs are the "long tail" that will help you reach a potentially large audience. By providing a link to your own website as part of a signature you will also benefit from click-throughs and improved search engine rankings.
Professional & Business Networking
These days, it seems that you are only as good as your network. Your next job, contract, project or customer is more likely to come from someone you know - or someone they know - than from an application or cold call.
As you develop your reputation, people will want to connect with you, allowing you to develop new relationships. Likewise, iStadia helps you to find other professionals in sport & exercise to connect with.
"All this referral did was open a door, but without that open door, would I now be arranging this powerful joint venture? I write this to give evidence for the true power of networking and the available power of iStadia to us all."
Mike Garth, Sun1400, UK
Top networking benefit: Build and manage an extended network of contacts in sport and exercise (Premium Plus membership is unlimited).
Reputation Management for Sport & Exercise Professionals
Building a reputation through word-of-mouth is powerful but takes a lot of time and effort. You can accelerate this process by posting content on iStadia that attracts a following and ensures that when people are looking for someone in your field you are more likely to be the name that comes to them.
Top reputation management benefit: In addition to demonstrating expertise through content, by commenting on blogs and sharing contacts or referrals you become a 'trusted person' within the community and other members will reciprocate.
Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
By joining iStadia and becoming an active member of our professional community you gain access to a comprehensive network of expertise that covers every area of sport and exercise, from sports performance to health & fitness and sports business.
"Being a member of this site has directly enhanced my applied practice.. ...I would wholeheartedly encourage others to utilise Istadia in this way!"
James Beale, Total Performance Consulting, UK
"I really look forward to seeing new blogs and articles because I like not having to wait for journal articles to be edited and published. I like new ideas. I've always valued the idea of 'critical mass', and the more we network and toss around ideas, the more likely our profession is to advance."
Michelle Pain, Parkdale Amber P/L, Australia
Top collaboration & knowledge sharing benefit: Starting a 'club', places you at the centre of a particular area of interest or geography and allows you to position yourself as an expert in the field or create a 'hub' of knowledge (requires Premium membership).
