Yesterday, The Golf Club of Houston became the latest course to take full advantage of the new (free) platform to handle all of their requests from charities. They created their account, posted their bank of certificates, and gave their custom “Request Donation” link to their web developer who promptly added it to their website. As a result, the course management will save as much as 10 hours per week that they used to spend fielding requests from charitable organizations.
Courses that often receive requests for rounds of golf from charitable organizations are flocking to this free solution that handles the entire process of responding and supporting the organizations (while increasing your revenue!) – OneSpareTeeTimeis an online resource that takes care of all of the administrative tasks that come with charitable requests. Plus it will generate a promotional flyer (logo, photo description of your course) for the event manager (to post at their black tie event). Course managers and marketing executives automatically receive contact information for the non-profit event organizers and the winning bidders.
By helping themselves and helping great charities, Golf Club of Houston also receive a free listing on BestOutings.com, a site that is quickly becoming the #1 recourse for golf outing planners.
Bestoutings.com (a new website provided by Charity Helpers, LLC) has launched a new technology platform allowing outing planners to submit a RFP to more than 8,300 golf courses. This creates a new sales channel for private, public and resort facilities. The BestOutings research team is currently gathering golf outing information (and contact information) for 4,640 remaining courses. To submit your course information and/or edit the information they have on file, click here.
Outing planners submit outing requests and those are easily automatically sent to all courses within the specified geographic region (for all courses that have provided their contact information).
Charity Helpers LLC founder Mike Last adds, “We’ve heard from a lot of course managers that they are overwhelmed with requests from non-profit organizations; both in person and by email and phone call. This creates a lot of extra work for the average manager / marketing executive,” he says. “Automating the entire process leaves clubs in full control, saves them a lot of time, promotes their course and even increases their revenue. … all while helping some great causes (including many PGA Foundations!). It’s a great win-win opportunity that hundreds of courses are already embracing. We want to reach 1000 courses as quickly as we can to maximize the benefit to the non-profits. A free listing on BestOutings.com is an added bonus for participating courses”.
All courses participating with OneSpareTime will receive a free listing on BestOutings.com and will receive outing leads automatically.
