STORIES
As you work hard each and every day to fill your tee sheet as well as build sales throughout your property, you are probably competing with those local newspaper ads offering golfers the special deal of the day. The competitor(s) may offer a down & dirty rate or they may throw in a free meal to drive the deal home. In the industry of golf where we are at the mercy of weather, high costs for upkeep, and a world where busy is the to-do list of everyday, how do we grow the business? Have you and your team looked at the guests who play each day? Do you know who they are, what brought them to the game, and to your golf course? Do you know their story?
Everyone has one. Each of us comes equipped with a story. The older we are, the more chapters. This post will suggest you not only learn about their stories, but build your social media content using the stories that will create a new way to look at your club……and reasons to play your golf course. Social media can be powerful. It has built revolutions, it has saved lives. How can you use it to create pictures in the minds of golfers that will drive your business? I believe stories are your secret sauce. Once you begin an on-going process of talking to your guests, you may just locate a volume of content more powerful than any coupon or free meal deal. Here are 5 thoughts about stories:
I am not naive, and know that the price of golf is always a factor. But locating the lowest price is a not a game for winners. Digging deep to mine the stories of your golfers can be fun, a great learning experience, and one that might just be more valuable than a $3.00 off coupon. Why not try to find what is already around you every day. We each have a story. Some may just change your business & your life!
