Vinita who is currently is looking to improve their fitness and overall health, but may not have the time or resources to commit to a traditional gym membership. They may be busy professionals or busy parents with limited time to spare, but still want to make fitness a priority in their lives. They are looking for a flexible, convenient and effective way to stay fit and healthy. They prefer online and offline options and will be looking for personalized support. They will be interested in variety of workout options such as strength training, cardio, and yoga, led by certified trainers. This persona may also be interested in a variety of fitness levels, from beginners to advanced.
ICPs to be prioritized:
After analyzing these parameters, it can be concluded that Vanshika, Abhishek and Vinita are the the ICPs to be prioritized whereas Anshul is currently not the ICP to be prioritized, he doesn’t have the paying capacity and the role of decision maker is the last say in this case, moreover his goal doesn’t exactly align with Cult’s offerings.

✅ Organic - Currently, Cult Fit’s organic search traffic is more than 2.1M with more than 65K+ keywords, continue working on the organic strategy will increase the discovery of the product and it’s use cases. The cost is low, effort is high but in long run organic will continue leaving print.
❌Referrals - The experience is top-notch but since the average pricing of membership is 11k for 3 months, the user might take time to think around the decision of joining and paying directly for such locked period, moreover the time span also increases.
✅ Paid ADs - Can be used to target ICPs across all groups. By reaching out to them on multiple channels through paid ADs, it will help to increase awareness about the product.
✅ Product Integration - Cult needs to acquire users from other apps which are popular among the TG, this increases discovery of the product…..
