“Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive.
It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you.”

Financial Services

“My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb.”

Education

“We were particularly impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism that characterises the organisational culture at Marke Creative. We also recognise and admire Marke Creative’s passion for sustainability which was the theme of our event.”

Retail

“Your support, ideas, thinking and can-do attitude enabled us to develop a sustainable solution our exec team were happy to stand behind and also one we could use across our 3000 convenience store estate.”

Virtual Fitness Merchandise

According to a recent survey, 46% of people say that virtual exercise will remain part of their weekly routine, even after gyms reopen. This is thanks to the capabilities, comfort, and flexibility that comes with exercising from home.

Over the past two years, the fitness industry has been adapting, digitally transforming itself to keep up with the challenges of the pandemic. It’s estimated that by 2022, the digital fitness sector will be worth a massive $27.4 billion.

Brands can seize this opportunity by targeting “digital-first” clients – just take examples from Apple’s introduction of Fitness +, smart home gyms like Tempo and Tonal, and the rise in popularity of interactive fitness equipment, all of which highlight a growing trend.

Consumer preferences have evolved with live-streamed exercise classes, fitness apps and wearable tech becoming the norm. So how can you maximise this rapidly expanding trend?

You can encourage health and wellbeing with fitness merchandise, while increasing brand impressions. Fitness merchandise can be a great gift for your customers, and it can support your staff while they exercise during break time. Or if you run a virtual exercise class, why not treat your attendees with aids to complement their workout?

See our suggestions below on how you can leverage this trend and maximise the benefits of an expanding industry.
