I was helping a friend to get a visa to travel to a foreign country when I encountered some of the worst customer service within memory.The “dysfunctionary “ behind the bullet proof glass took a look at the application materials and started to criticize them, harshly, making it sound as if they were woefully inadequate.This triggered a back and forth cycle of defensiveness, each party justifying his or her opinion.At one moment, I remember thinking: “If this country doesn’t want your travel business, to heck with them; then go somewhere else!”But a few minutes later, in bumper to bumper traffic, it hit me:A person may represent a country, and do a very poor job of it, but he or she isn’t the entire country!”Logically, this is obvious.
Top 10 Most Effective Strategies for Collecting Golfers eMail
Digital Marketing and broadcast eMail is proving to be the most cost effective means of generating an increase in your course revenues. Using exceptional photography of your golf course, creating dynamic stationary and upgrades to your website are critical elements to effective digital marketing. Increasing the size and quality of your email database is also vitally important.
Here's our Top 10 Ways to Collect Golfer Email:
1. Digital Photo Shoot at Your Most Scenic Hole
You can collect emails from virtually every person who plays your course by offering to send them a digital photo of their group. Have a trained staff person stay at your most scenic hole with a digital camera and photo registration form. They should ask each group if they would like to have a complimentary digital photo taken of themselves or their group. Collect as much data as you can on this form, including special offers they may want more information on. You can download these photos to a computer and send their photos via email with thank-you note and a special offer. People will appreciate this as a classy gesture. A good data base is worth a great deal of money – this is an inexpensive way to collect names.
2. Preferred Golfer Loyalty Program
The most effective strategy for successful marketing is to reward your most loyal clients. It always costs less to retain a good client than to gain a new one. We’ve developed a complete marketing program that will allow you to collect as many as 5000 new eMail addresses every year. ThePreferred Golfer Loyalty package is so strong that golfers will actually pay you to give you their eMail address.
3. Website Collection
One of the primary purposes of your website should be to collect email. Your website can promote the same contest give-a-way as you do with a registration draw box. You can create a survey check box so customers will automatically be sent information on specials or sales one week before the public is informed.
4. Auto-responders and Send to a Friend
For website data collection to be done properly, you should have auto-responders set up so the people who enter your contest can opt-in to several of your emailing lists. They should also have the option to send the promotion to a friend (where you collect another email address). Our Golf eMailer program has all these data collection tools, auto-respond and broadcast capabilities.
5. E-Postcards
This “free service” can be an excellent addition to your website. People love to send postcards from where they play – it’s a “Bragging Right.” When you have an E-Postcard, you are automatically collecting two emails: Both the sender and the receiver. Again, you should set up your collection tools with auto-responders so you can get people to opt-in to your emailing lists.
6. Joint Venture E-mail Promotions
There are many vendors and retail golf shops you work with that own large golfer databases. Resorts, hotels and your Chamber of Commerce can be excellent joint venture partners. You can create arrangements where they send your email promotions out to their databases and you pay them a referral fee for everyone who responds. This is a win/win because they make extra money from your promotion and you gain new prospective clients. Be sure to have a hot-link to your database collection tool so these people can “opt-in” to your mailing list.

Management or Leadership?Simply stated, management ensures that things get done, in accordance with accepted policies, based on the reality of a situation. It involves deciding the how, and the when and often the who. The who can be a cross-over factor in the initial stages. It is doing it right, creating process and systems and insuring efficiency. A manager manages both the process and records the efficiency of the individual’s performance within the process.Leadership revolves around concepts, ideas and effectiveness, enunciating what is the right avenue, establishing direction, insuring individual and team success, and necessarily implies a following. It is discerning and articulating the what, the determination of what is the right thing and often who i

Strategies in small business are as important as they are in the Corporate Board Rooms of America’s greatest companies. Believe me when I tell you that you need to strategize to win you market and if you wish to increase your market share you need a plan of attack and you need to execute that plan and win. Small businesses in local communities are often an extension of the personalities of the business owner or owners and employees.Many times small businesses do things because they think it is cool or the right thing to do and do not consider their profit margins and what will make the most money. I am not attempting to tell you to by-pass the community and scrape the cream only off the top, screw the community and get filthy rich without giving back. What I wish to say

I used to love that song 'It's Got To Be Perfect' by Fairground Attraction. But they are musicians, their message isn't appropriate in the world of sales. The opposite is closer to the truth. Here's another way of saying the same, 'If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly'.Before you get excited and tell me how wrong I am, let me explain by asking you a question. Do you take a long time preparing things, trying to get them just right before you implement them?For example, if I suggested that you make a list of 10 new potential customers and then get on the phone and ask if there is anything that you could help them with. How long would it take you to complete the task?Here's the thing; what determines your success in many activities is how many times yo

The fundamental concepts of electronic commerce, typically paying for goods using a credit card over the internet, have been around for some time. Yet,there are still plenty of businesses, often, small local businesses that are not ecommerce enabled.It’s actually much easier to ‘ecommerce enable’ a small business than a large one. So, let provide some background to getting started.What makes eCommerce tick? Firstly we need to know the core components of ecommerce. Think of a local store and you can peg each feature of the physical store to features which exist in ecommerce.A physical store has products, so your ecommerce store needs a list of products, this we call the product database.Next is the replacement of the ability to touch and

Any vouchers or coupons you use in your adverting should be redeemed with a registration form with valid email required for redemption. All specials, vouchers or coupons found online should only be “unlocked” by providing an eMail address first.
10. Tournament registration with give-a-way
At the tournament registration desk you should have a registration form from every golfer that they need to submit in order to qualify for a special tee gift and a return discount voucher. The most effective voucher’s our clients have used previously are VIP Business Card offers.
Another way you can access golfers is through renting lists of golfer emails. It's a little more expensive but can be highly cost effective.
Renting lists can be very tricky because you can rent bad lists and get blacklisted. Make sure that your list broker 's list is a double opt-in and is strictly identified as golfers. Also, make sure to test a small batch before you roll out a ig campaign.
Having said that, I've tested marketing campaigns and havd great success with a few reputable list brokers. Typically you can rent the lists for 10 - 15 cents / lead. The most important thing you can do with thys type of campaign is to ensure that you have a great FREE offer.
