Tank Topics – All About Research

Is it better to have a light colored room that hides salt, or a dark colored room that easily shows it? 

Graham and Ashkahn dish out some strong opinions on this idea, especially the idea that dark colored rooms and tanks are good for maintaining employee accountability. 

Ashkahn and Derek talk about algorithms, those pesky bits of code that push your posts up or down on social media and search engines and leave you scrambling for ways to get likes and clicks, constantly mixing it up to just be seen. 

The duo discusses how algorithms affect everyday posts for small businesses and how to keep up on information about the constantly changing nature of these systems. The main takeaway is, if your content is fresh, non-repetitive and you aren’t trying to game the system, you likely have nothing to worry about.

Any sales related business knows that commissions are the gold-standard incentive program for drumming up business, but how does it work in a float center for memberships?

Derek and Ashkahn talk about the mixed success they’ve experienced at Float On each time it’s been tried. 

Single float memberships have become increasingly more common in the float industry, typically with the option to purchase additional floats for the month at a discount. But how do you properly incentivize those members to float more than a single time per month? 

Ashkahn and Derek talk marketing tips to keeping your float center top of mind and making sure your members are active regularly. 

Float On has been known throughout the years for pulling off outlandish marketing stunts with mixed success. For example, we ran a giveaway on social media back in 2014 for a full year of free floats to our lucky winner. 

Derek and Ashkahn provide a follow up on the success of that campaign and talk about the primary, secondary, and tertiary benefits that came from doing such a major giveaway.
