Big Increase in Sales

Most Golf Facilities and PGA Professionals using the RetailTribe online marketing service have experienced first-half 2010 retail results ahead of the market.

“Our service is built around the publication of online content and campaigns that will deliver more feet in the Professional’s Shop and more bags on the first tee” stated Alan Crossan, Senior Vice President North America. “Of course our content has to be entertaining and interesting to the reader but more importantly it needs to encourage golfers to visit their Professional and to spend more time on the Golf Course”.

Fred Harkness, Director of Golf, Jonathan’s Landing GC (Florida) has seen record attendances and record sales at his Demo Days this season. “It is not just that the RetailTribe service allows me to promote my Golf Days more effectively. It is the way they write the content that makes the difference. It excites the golfer with the potential for improvement and gets them off their chairs and down to the Club to participate in these events”.

More golfers at the Club translate into more golfers in the Shop. "But it is more than that" responded David Price, Head Golf Professional at Bent Tree C.C. in Dallas, Texas. "The communication and education that RetailTribe delivers to my membership is so much greater than that which I can deliver on the practice tee or through e-mails. All of their professionally written articles only extend the credibility of my staff and myself to our membership. That equates to more golfers who understand that we can help them get more enjoyment from their golf game".

Year to date, sales at the Bent Tree Golf Shop are up 32% over 2009. "The many retail promotions suggested by the RetailTribe staff have helped us move merchandise consistently and efficiently, so despite the recession and industry pressures, the RetailTribe service is really working for me." added Price.

“After 6 years, our first ever customer has doubled their turnover” announced Crossan. “But, if you think about it, that is an obvious consequence of increasing, each year, the number of members who believe their Golf Professional can improve their golf game and add enjoyment to their time on the course. Golf Professionals do that all the time. We are good at telling that story”.
