Association of Golf Merchandisers President & Long-Time Merchandiser at Haggin Oaks Gives 300 Retail Promotional Ideas In New Book Release

Sacramento, California- Says author Ken Morton, Jr., "There are lots of different kinds of promotions. There are ones that entertain, ones that intrigue, ones that educate and ones that excite. They hit on all different kinds of senses. For most individuals, the buying process is a purely emotional and an impulsive one. If they see something they like, they buy it. Promotions tap into this part of the brain. They create a certain level of excitement, an added level of interest." The Little Book of Big Golf Promotions gives retailers and merchandisers a bevy of over 300 promotional concepts to increase your bottom line. This book will better your retail business and is a must-have in the golf industry and any retail industry can certainly benefit from these promotional ideas.
