(WESLEY CHAPEL, FL) – International Club Suppliers (ICS) – the sales and marketing arm for entegra Procurement Services (entegra) in the golf club and resort channel – has extended its partnership with Buffalo Communications (“Buffalo”) to continue spearheading targeted public relations and e-marketing programs.
To highlight the benefits ICS and its entegra program offer to golf courses, country clubs and resorts, Buffalo will continue to leverage its tight network of editorial connections and inventory of contacts integral to ICS growth.
Provider of food and supplies to nearly 1,500 golf facilities nationwide, ICS earns top marks for its ability to net up to 12 percent upfront savings on more than 3,000 brand-name products. Companies like McCain, Tropicana, Edy’s and Frito Lay are available.
“Thanks to ICS-entegra economies of scale, golf and resort operations participating in the program have increased by nearly 50 percent in 2010,” says Jim Sartain, CEO of ICS. “We make heroes out of GMs and F&B managers who switch.”
“With golf businesses focused on scrutinizing expenditures, ICS offers hassle-free access to competitively priced, high-quality products,” says Rich Katz, Managing Director of Buffalo. “Our agency is excited to further contribute to ICS helping clubs make budget.”
