CertiFresh Cigar® will participate in the One-On-One Appointment Show at the 21st Annual ING Spring Conference.
This annual gathering of golf media and golf industry executives is set for May 22-26 at Innisbrook Resort in the St. Pete/Clearwater region of Florida, just north of Tampa. Anyone in the industry or media is invited to attend (www.inggolf.com). This will be the third straight year that CertiFresh has been active in the ING Spring Conference.
“We continue to grow in the number of accounts and sales representatives across the country, and we would like to share that information with the industry,” said VP of Sales Geoff M. Stiles. “We believe the ING Spring Conference is a great way to accomplish that. We find our relationship with ING to be very beneficial, and we look forward to sharing our story with ING members at the conference.”
Every CertiFresh Cigar comes individually packaged in a specially coated sleeve with a Humidipak® insert. The disposable Humidipak® insert is the only two-way device that keeps the cigar at a perfect 69 percent humidity for up to one year. This allows golf courses to do away with space-eating and laborious humidors, and sell cigars from any location – the pro shop, beverage cart, bar & grille, card room, halfway house, etc.
CertiFresh has experienced a meteoric rise in the golf industry since entering the market in 2009; climbing from less than 50 golf accounts to nearly 900 today. Among these accounts are some of the highest ranked courses and resorts in the world – Pebble Beach, Doral, Winged Foot, Reynolds Plantation and dozens of other notable clubs.
CertiFresh was named to PGA Magazine’s “What’s Selling Resorts” in a recent issue. The What’s Selling section of the magazine lists the best selling items in each category (Resorts, Public, Private and Off Course) as reported by PGA’s Magazine’s Merchandisers of the Year and AGM members.
“For a two-year-old company like CertiFresh to be mentioned alongside companies like Nike, Adidas, Callaway and Titleist as the best selling items in the nation’s top resorts is unreal”, said founder Bill Porter.
Unlike most cigars found on golf courses, every CertiFresh® cigar is rated by Cigar Aficionado magazine at an 87 or higher. Every CertiFresh® cigar is hand rolled, nationally advertised and a major brand name and each is mild to medium in strength, and the very best quality.
The CertiFresh® product offers one other important benefit. By using a custom business card size advertisement in every CertiFresh® cigar package, the golf course operator can promote the course and make money from selling cigars.
CertiFresh® can also include a coupon message on the art card to drive sales to other parts of the operations. And, the card can be logo’d, perfect for corporate outings and giveaways.
CertiFresh is now offering a four-pack of cigars in their patented “guaranteed fresh” packaging. Unlike their single use, one-pack cigars, the Foursome includes a free cigar cutter and is resealable. It will keep cigars fresh for six months once opened.
