So, How Can Golf Courses Start Using Text Messaging?

• Start building a list of loyal customers by having them text a keyword to a short code. Example: “Text PAR to 49798 to win a Free Round of Golf and to join our Mobile VIP Club for specials”
• Send last minute text alerts announcing tee time specials and make sure you never have an empty tee time again
• Text a special promotion for you driving range
• Send mobile coupons for use in your Pro Shop.
• Text a golf special in the morning and your number of rounds increase the same day.
• Send mobile coupons to customers on slow days to make sure you have people on the course at all times.
• Send special promotions that bring people to your restaurant

How do you connect with your customers no matter where they are? Try using the one device that they carry on them almost 24 hours a day. Text messaging is very affordable. Most golf courses could be up and running for less than $100 per month.

Take a slow day, send out a text message blast to your golfers, and get ready to book tee times! Text messaging marketing for golf courses is targeted, fast, and only costs a fraction of print and other advertising mediums.
