Coupon or not to Coupon

Posted in: Golf Course Marketing, Golf Marketing Ideas, Online Marketing- Apr 06, 2011 No Comments

Interesting article http://www.marketingprofs.com/charts/2011/4785/americans-flocking-to-coupon-websites?adref=nl040611.  We get a tonne of calls on weather to use coupons.  Great numbers in the article to support both sides of the arguement.

We always ask our clients that inquire about the type of  strategy.  Well it depends on what your objective is, and does your ‘core’ customer use coupons?

Good Karma Does Work

Posted in: Business of Golf, Golf Marketing Ideas- Feb 07, 2011 No Comments

You know when it seems that everything is just not going your way.  That is the nice way to say it.  The even better way to say it would be…you know when it seems that EVERYONE seems to be screwing you.  Well Karma does work, and it worked out for not only a great business professional of ours, but also a friend.

This is a person reading her blackberry durning a snow storm while driving, on a major highway. I am not sure if that is just great multi-tasking or someone being stupid. BTW I am the passenger in a car right, not driving. Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network

Line up?

We are at the 2011 PGA Golf Show waiting in line, and this line is the longest line we and everyone has ever been in. Everyone has an electronic ticket they printed in this line. Really, you can’t come up with a better solution than lining up to get your badge, even though we have ALL pre-registered! It’s 2011, just hand out a plastic holder at the enterance to everyone who pre-registered and printed it off. Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network
