The Perfect Gift for Golfers and Mobile Phone Users
Scottsdale, Arizona – September 24, 2009 GolfLogix announces the availability of its Smartphone Golf GPS Gift Set that includes the widely popular GolfLogix GPS application along with the most requested cell phone accessories. The boxed gift set includes a one-year membership to GolfLogix’ advanced Golf GPS application and stat-tracking software, an external portable 5,000 mAh battery charger that extends the battery life of a cell phone-or most any rechargeable portable device-up to 30 hours, a universal suction-cup mount for golf cart/dashboard mounting and a custom carrying case. The GolfLogix Ultimate Gift Pack retails for $149.95 and is available at sports retailers and online.
Since releasing its Golf GPS application for GPS-enabled Smartphones Software in July ’09, GolfLogix has consistently ranked as a top application on iTunes and services thousands of downloads a day. The popular golf application turns a golfer’s Smartphone into a Golf GPS rangefinder displaying distances to major hazards, front, center and backs of greens along with capturing round stats such as greens in regulation, club distances, fairways hit, putts per round and more over 24,000 golf courses worldwide. Packaging GolfLogix’ application with key cell phone accessories creates an attractive gift for golfers by enhancing the Golf GPS application through convenient viewing and extended battery life.
“We listened to our customers and like all cell phone users they wanted more battery life especially on the golf course and a dependable mount for the safety and security of their phones. We were able to source the most powerful external rechargeable battery available and package it with a proven durable mounting device,” states Pete Charleston president of GolfLogix. “This gives golfers the power and convenience they need on the course and the accessories are great for other applications too.” The included mount and battery pack are universal and can be used for applications beyond golf. For example, the portable battery pack comes with multiple adapters and is compatible with most all mini/micro-USB devices such as mobile phones, MP3 and game players, PDAs and more. The mount easily suctions to any smooth surface and can be used on a desk or a car dashboard and offers 360° bend and tilt viewing. “Getting the GolfLogix App alone is great but as part of a complete gift package with multi-use mobile accessories, it is the perfect gift for any level golfer,” adds Charleston. With a retail price of $149.95, the GolfLogix Ultimate Gift Pack is about half the cost of a handheld Golf GPS device making it an affordable gift as well.
GolfLogix Golf GPS is compatible with the most popular BlackBerry® models, iPhone 3G and 3GS and BlackBerry® Tour™ and Storm™ on the Verizon Wireless Network® making it the most widely used Golf GPS application today. The GolfLogix Ultimate Gift Pack can be purchased at fine retailers nationwide including Academy Sports, TGW, Golfsmith, Golf Town, Roger Dunn’s, The Golf Mart, Van’s, Golfer’s Warehouse, Edwin Watts, and wherever GolfLogix products are sold.
GolfLogix plans to continue to promote its widely popular GPS-8 which is a standalone handheld GPS device manufactured by Garmin that is loaded with GolfLogix software. It allows golfers to see convenient distance measurements on a large, easy-to-read screen. The GPS-8 retails for $299.95, includes one free golf course download and unlimited golf courses worldwide for an annual membership of $29.95. “We realize that there is always going to be a segment of golfers that wants simple distances on a standalone GPS device with no Smartphone capabilities. With our GPS-8, golfers just turn it on and play golf. It’s 100% automatic,” adds Charleston. “GolfLogix on GPS-enabled Smartphones allows us to address a new spectrum of golfers that are on-the-go and want an all-in-one device.”
Golflogix’ exclusive agency, Competitive Edge Media is currently running a National TV and Print campaign promoting the smartphone.
