In less than three years, ROI Online has helped transform Ralph Roberts from the new personal trainer in town to one of the most recognized and respected health and fitness professionals in the Amarillo area.
The Ralph Roberts Personal Training brand has exploded, and much of that success has directly resulted from our combined social media efforts and focused branding strategy.
We started from scratch. Ralph Roberts lacked a website, a logo, a social media presence and an overall brand identity. But what he did have was a clear vision. He aspired to become more than a personal trainer in Amarillo.
He wanted to position himself as a thought leader; he wanted to create a brand that traversed much farther than the Texas Panhandle; he wanted to attract the attention of industry professionals.
How did we go about achieving all of these goals? A large part is due to our robust social media strategy, branded promotional materials and Ralph’s commitment to the project. When a client signs on with ROI, it’s not just a service agreement — it’s a partnership.
In addition to creating a website and a logo, ROI Online posts two original blogs every week, sends out a monthly newsletter and maintains a strong social media presence, especially on Facebook. ROI Online consistently produces branded promotional materials (both digital and print) for Ralph Roberts Personal Training. We have created exercise demonstrations, eating guides, fitness postcards, workout booklets, eBooks and workout videos.

By harnessing Ralph Roberts’ vision and our digital marketing expertise, ROI Online has helped create a branding and social media juggernaut. Our strategies have garnered a loyal following, have driven brand loyalty and have encouraged fan engagement.
