Burr Ridge, Illinois – May 25, 2010 – Fore! Reservations, the leading provider of golf course management and marketing software, announces the release of its latest product, Fore! Outing. This latest offering is designed to help golf courses better organize and execute outings, while collecting valuable customer information for the course’s database. Fore! Outing fully integrates with the golf course’s Fore! Reservations tee sheet, point-of-sale and customer database system.
“The addition of Fore! Outing to our suite of software products is very exciting for us and for our golf course users,” Fore! Reservations Director of Marketing Scott Merchant says. “Outings represent a great opportunity for golf courses to generate repeat business, so we wanted to develop a product that could serve as an effective customer data collection tool specifically for outing participants; and this software accomplishes that goal. Fore! Outing helps the golf course capture the first and last name, phone, and email address of outing players to build a course’s marketable customer database so they can increase the likelihood that an outing participant will return to the course as a regular customer.”
Included in the Fore! Outing product is an online data collection scorecard that provides the golf course operator a real-time report of the percentages of customer information collected during the event registration process.
“We’ve seen a very favorable response to this feature,” says Scott. “Several courses utilize the scorecard as a means to measure and incentivize the outing coordinator to give complete registration information for each golfer. If the coordinator provides the golf course email addresses for 80% of the field for example, a course can reward the outing with a gift card or donate to the outing’s fundraising initiatives. If implemented to the fullest, Fore! Outing can benefit the golf course and the outing in these areas while helping the two parties execute a successful event.”
Fore! Outing has an online interface for both the golf course operator and the outing coordinator, so all outing preparations can be managed from any computer with Internet access. These preparations include: online player registration, entering handicaps, scorecard creation, assigning holes, creating multiple player lists and cart signs, as well as e-mail marketing capabilities. Fore! Outing comes with pre-designed email templates to help event coordinators create their own messages to send to outing participants before and after the event.
