Looking to amp up your advertising this year at your golf tournament? Hole In One International is here to help give you some ideas on how to get the word out about your upcoming golf outing!
1.) Make a Website
Having a website dedicated to your golf tournament is crucial when it comes to spreading the news about it! Be sure to visibly display when and where it will be taking place, a phone number and/or email for your tournament director in case people have questions, as well as any sort of contests/promotions you’ll be running during the tournament! You also have the ability to allow players to pay for their event on your website via online payment services such as PayPal. See if anyone in your tournament planning committee has the capability to set up a website for you — if not, there are some extremely helpful websites out there that will assist you in creating one for free, such as TournEvents.
2.) Create Social Media Pages
Chances are that your target audience is active in the social media world, so make sure to create a Facebook event page, Twitter account and/or even a Google+ page dedicated to your outing. Be sure to make mention of your golf tournament regularly on your personal or business pages and link back to the appropriate golf outing pages. It’s important to keep everyone informed by making frequent updates (for example, if you’ve added on a few new sponsors or managed to grab a local celebrity local business leader as your chairperson).
3.) Utilize Print Advertising
Print advertising is a tried and true way of spreading the news of your golf tournament. Whether you plan to send flyers, create an online press release (which you can do for free through websites such as prlog.com) or put an ad about the golf tournament in your local newspaper listing, all are guaranteed to yield results and get your message out there into the world! Be sure to also work with your sponsors to include information about your tournament in their ads/mailers!
