2. The Octopus Solution, LLC, 33 Beechstone, Suite 5, Portsmouth, NH 03801, www.TheOctopusSolution.com Where are the Major Concerns with YMCA’s: Member Retention We have seen member loss rates at 30-65% per year!!! This is Unacceptable and we put an end to it by working with the YMCA Executives and Staff and implementing our internal Sales and Marketing Execution plan. Fading Brand 150 year history of amazing innovation and family & community development is one of the strongest assets of the YMCA. However the brand has faded and is being dwarfed by many of the other fitness facility’s marketing efforts. We Re-Energize your brand through a combination of specific Sales & Marketing Strategies that will bring the name back into the Lime Light.

You guys have a great “product” with the idea of the 8 arms. It makes it simple and it’s useable across different business types. You were both easy to work with and weren’t afraid to challenge us. We walked away with a new organizational structure, more of a focus on our marketing, a new “Member Experience” system, new job descriptions, a slew of information from the surveys, and much more.” - Joe Manzoli, Director of Branch Operations We are here to help your YMCA, an organization we strongly believe in, and will lift it to the next level of success through our experience and skills.
