Golf shot video sharing site that connects courses and golfers debuts at the Golf Industry Show, February 10-11, San Diego, CA
CLEVELAND, OH – February 9, 2010 – Verishot (www.verishot.com) announces the launch of Sharegolf.com, a social networking site that connects golf courses and golfers. Sharegolf allows golfers to view and share high definition videos of their swing captured at the golf course and connect with other members. These features help golfers improve their swing and golf experience. Sharegolf helps golf courses increase rounds and golfer loyalty by enabling frequent and direct communications with their golfer members via customized messages on landing pages, blog posts, e-mails and surveys. Sharegolf membership is free for golfers, and courses pay a fee for the Verishot marketing program, which includes a Sharegolf landing page and administration tools. Visit www.sharegolf.com to register today.
Golf courses can differentiate themselves with the Verishot marketing program by creating an ongoing exciting, interactive experience for golfers. Marketing program components include: a golf shot video monitoring system, Sharegolf social networking site landing page and administrative tools, hole-in-one golf contest verification and insurance, promotional tools and social networking best practices.
In a 2009 online survey conducted by Zoomerang to a panel of golfers, 49 percent indicated they would be motivated to play at a golf course that posted swing videos on a golf social networking site, and 51 percent of golfers indicated they would play more often at a golf course that offered this service.
“Sharegolf drives golfers to a course that has installed the Verishot video capture system in order to view their swing videos online and retain a memorable golf experience,” explains Dan Quigg, CEO of Verishot. “Through Sharegolf’s communication, survey and networking features, a course can build close relationships with its golfer members,” adds Quigg.
Social media is fast becoming a strategic marketing tool for golf courses because it enables them to easily and quickly communicate and engage with their golfer members on a frequent basis. This eliminates the challenge courses have in capturing golfer contact information in order to market directly to their prospective and existing customers.
Verishot will demonstrate Sharegolf and its video capture system in booth #7827 at The Golf Industry Show (www.thegolfindustryshow.com), February 10-11.
