Strategy
The company’s key strategy comprises the right selection of experts in the field in its health and wellness advisory council. For instance, the company has inducted Dr. Heatther Irobunda, a certified OB-GYN into the council along with Dr. Pooka Lakshmi, a certified psychiatrist in 2021. The experts' guidance on the dos and don’ts related to workout training and psychiatry during prenatal and postnatal care helps in designing and innovating the selected equipment-based workout training and content. This helps in better product innovation in niche areas which further helps in the acquisition of the niche market in the fitness equipment market.
Peloton launched a holiday campaign “The Peloton Effect” in 2021 that aids in motivating the various individuals who are working on their fitness and wellness through its content delivered by a couple who provides tricks and tips to stay consistent despite family gatherings, events, and other discussions. This initiative acts as a better way to stay connected with its users and also provides a means to connect with new customers who will subsequently buy Peloton’s offerings.
