THE Universal On-Line Resource for Golfers Quickly Becoming THE Social Marketing Resource for Golf Tour Events, Golf Professionals and Golf Companies
JACKSONVILLE, Fl (August 26, 2010) – When it first launched, Tour Resource Center (TRC) billed itself as THE universal on-line resource for golfers. Offering information on thousand’s of tournaments (how to register, how to qualify, what level, etc.), golf tips (mental, playing nutritional), college recruiting, and more, TRC quickly climbed the ladder to become one of the hottest golf resource sites on the web.
To get its own website to the top of Google and the web, the TRC undertook an aggressive approach through non-traditional marketing avenues, and looked to the web to spread the word and drive traffic.
“We build upon traditional marketing, and then explode it on the internet with cutting edge social media marketing techniques, all of which brings more NEW consumers into the golf world” said TRC Founder and CEO Georgina Lewis. “Everyone thinks that setting up a Twitter and Facebook account coupled with a few blogs, will net them new clients. That is not it at all, if you don’t know how to capitalize on the Google points to rank your blog, for example, then no one can find it on the Internet. You might as well throw your article in the trash can.”
Press Releases, Twitter, Blogs to Google Standards, and a thorough understanding of search engine optimization (SEO), has been vital in TRC’s growth; and others have noticed. In fact, golf professionals and golf companies are now turning to TRC to help launch and market their products via social networking/marketing avenues.
Now the 1300+ LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals will have the opportunity to learn first- hand about the “net” and how to leverage Social Media Marketing to reach new consumers for their business through the TRC’s Social Media Division (TRC-WebDesign.com) webinar workshops. TRC Founder and CEO, Georgina Lewis will be teaching two webinar sessions focusing on the basics and “best practices” for successful social media marketing and website design.
The webinars will be offered in September and October and are open to all LPGA members and non-members. LPGA professionals completing the webinars will earn LPGA continuing education units (CEU’s). For registration information contact the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Membership at 386-274-6200 or diane.cody@lpga.com.
