Curtis Circulation Company, Golf Tips’ national newsstand distributor, announced in January 2008 that strong sales of Golf Tips Magazine during 2007 had fueled an expansion into 3,706 new dealers for 2008-a 26.5 percent increase in the number of points of sale. Along with this additional distribution was an increase in copies on top of the publication’s already large current readership of 625,000. Recently, Curtis Circulation reported that after the release of Golf Tips Magazine’s first 2008 issue, newsstand expansion was higher than originally anticipated for a total 15% increase in the number of GT issues sold on newsstands.
GT’s highly-focused content will now reach significantly more golfers looking to get the most out of their game. What makes these numbers all the more impressive is this unprecedented growth comes at a time when market conditions have become increasingly more difficult. For nearly 20 years, Golf Tips Magazine has earned a reputation for being the game’s most in-depth instruction, equipment and travel resource. GT’s editors have worked with many of the game’s best teachers to produce the top-notch instruction that makes up every issue of Golf Tips Magazine. The GT staff recognizes the needs of their audience and in turn, delivers quality instruction that holds both immediate utility and relevance.
“Every issue of GT gives readers everything they need to improve both their golf swing and scoring techniques. Our instructors are dedicated to finding ways to successfully communicate with avid players of every level.” Golf Tips Editor, Mike Chwasky.
