In the eyes of Nigel Benton, publisher of Australasian Leisure Management, there are endless great stories to share. Everyone has a story to tell. While some may be able to share their own, others may be too close to see the amazing story right in front of them.

The leisure industry plays a very significant role in the economy as well as peoples individual social and community benefits. Whether you are going to fitness clubs, sporting games, children play centres, participate in recreational activities or attend shows and entertainment programs it’s all classified as leisure. In the industry producers are providing an experience to consumers who are making those decisions on a daily, weekly, and monthly bases.

Having worked in the publishing industry for over twenty years, Nigel equates his secrets of success to content. In a time were technology and digital communication is on the rise, one may think that printed media is on its way out. For Nigel, the exact opposite seems to be true.

When it comes down to it every story needs quality content. Engaging with lengthy and informative content online can be difficult for viewers to remain alert and interested. Typically, people only stay engaged with online content for a very limited and short period of time. Due to this, longer and more informed pieces of information work better in print. In addition, the demographic of people who make decisions on buying big items of equipment or on major projects tend to be older and tend to be people who have grown up with print as the major form of communication.

Whether a large or small business you are delivering a product or service that people are benefitting from, and that is a great story to tell.

So how do you know when you have a good story to tell? While you can spend all of you time and money ensuring you company looks good online and on print you need quality information and content to get the leads you want. Sometimes people are too close to their own stories. In order to find that story or content we need to take a step back. Within the fitness or personal training industry sharing stories such as the success of your business, how you have helped a member achieve a big weight loss goal, become part of a major event, or how your program has been a personal success are great stories to tell. Everyone in this day and age is desperate for conte
