NEWS Club Membership Drive Golf Queensland has recently finalised the development of creative marketing materials to assist the implementation of a membership drive at golf clubs around the State. This marketing campaign supports Golf Queensland’s vision of ‘more people, playing more golf’ as it is to be used by golf clubs to attract nonmembers to their club. The campaign has been established with the aim of assisting clubs address the decline in membership numbers that many are experiencing. The promotional concept ‘drop in more often’ will target the casual golfer who has a desire to play more often. The advertising concept is designed to be eye catching, motivating and easy for clubs to implement. Ease of display has been a key consideration, taking into account the various and diverse physical environments in which the material is to be used. Golf Queensland will provide a complete package for marketing of membership, including advertising materials and information to assist with implementation of the campaign. The total package clubs will receive reinforces the need for clubs to consider what they are offering new members and how they are offering it. The materials have been included in a comprehensive marketing package designed to help clubs target casual golfers and others who currently play or frequent golf clubs. Ideally, the campaign will help to stimulate interest in membership and encourage enquiry by casual golfers. Golf Queensland is simply providing marketing collateral to fit in with clubs’ new or existing membership attraction strategies and it is up to clubs to implement the campaign how they see fit. Make sure you look out for the ‘Drop in More Often’ campaign at clubs around Queensland this summer!
