Case 4: The Bay Area Athletic Club The Bay AreaAthletic Club, located in San Francisco, California, offers thefull range of athletic activities and equipment: indoor and outdoorpool and tennis, a weight room with free weights and Cybexmachines, basketball, aerobics classes, yoga classes, an outdoorrunning track, and a senior center. By popular demand, yoga andaerobics classes are only offered during peak hours. Members canpurchase two types of memberships. A Gold membership, costing 90 per family permonth. Individual memberships are half the monthly familyrates.
Even though the club has the latest equipment and fully trainedstaff, it has a problem. Management would like to increase clubrevenues, but dares not increase monthly rates. An alternative isto expand its membership base. However, current members are alreadycomplaining about insufficient access to parking, some eventhreatening to cancel their memberships. The club is surrounded onall sides by commercial property and cannot solve its parkingproblem by extending its existing lots to adjacent property.Management at Bay Area has come up with a solution. If new memberscan be encouraged to use the facilities during off-peak hours,revenues can be increased without compounding an already seriousparking problem.
But what sort of individual can attend the club during off-peakhours? This is important to know since Bay Area has limited fundsfor advertising and would like to target its marketing efforts topotential nonpeak users.
When a user checks into the club, the bar code on his or hermembership card is scanned and the time of entry is recorded.Management has compiled a data set by pulling every 20th recordfrom the membership filing cabinets and matching the scanned entrydata. The resulting data set, containing 94 observations, isdescribed below and available in the file named PEAK. Use the datato determine a profile of the club's nonpeak members and provideappropriate recommendations to Bay Area Club management.
