RetailTribe launches the TaylorMade Brand Experience Zone

Dear RetailTribe Customer,
Today we can announce another rich content addition to your website: the TaylorMade brand experience golf zone.

If you are a TaylorMade stockist and have selected the brand to appear in your website, you will receive this new zone.

The benefit of each brand zone is to create a valuable and trusted online brand experience. By allowing your golfers to "understand" a brand (and its proposition) in your website, our aim is to guide the golfer back to you and your shop.

Positioning you as the "Trusted Source"


Any brand experience that happens in your "space" should position you - and not the brand - as the expert. Your opinion is the most important when it comes to golfers deciding on golf equipment.

The new brand experience zones have been designed specifically to position you as the expert and are written "in your voice", conveying your expertise and opinions.

Research conducted through your annual Equipment Survey shows that your opinion carries more than twice the value than the brands' advertising and their tour player endorsements.

Stay ahead of your community


Once the upgrade has taken place, it is our suggestion that you and your team browse through the TaylorMade brand experience zone and read the supporting content. We will be directing your golf community through to the new TaylorMade zone via your various digital platforms and we want you to be ready for "interaction" on subject areas that the zone articles raise. We want to drive more golfers to you and the new brand experience zones support that mission.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at alancrossan@retailtribe.com.

Be a Rainmaker,

Alan Crossan
SVP Customer Management
