Golf Datatech, L.L.C. has just released the The 2007 Pyramid of Influence Study covering the Golf Ball market. Additional studies covering the Golf Shoes, Iron, Driver and Putter categories will be available soon.
Conducted with over 3,500 serious golfers in the Spring of 2007 to investigate how they evaluate new technology, how they gather information on new products and technology, and what influences them to purchase.
The study identifies, analyzes and develops a deeper understanding of the impact various sub-segments of the golf population on the dissemination of information, trial and subsequent purchase of golf equipment. These sub-segments consist of the Traditional Pyramid (segmented by Handicap), The Alpha Consumer (Segmented by those who purchase at a higher rate), The Leading Edge Innovator – Segmented by those who “Must Have” the latest technology as well as by Age, Facility Played Most often and Gender.
Results include:
Perceptions & Opinions of Influencers -how “serious golfers” feel about the game of golf, how they see themselves as influencers, how they believe their golfing friends and associates vie them and how they feel about various influencers in their lives
Media Influencers – opinions and usage of various media outlets
