Yesterday, TPC Four Seasons became the latest course to implement the new (free) platform to handle all of their certificate requests from charities. They created their account, and posted their bank of golf certificates that will now be available to charitable organizations including PGA Sections and Foundations. 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.
Hundreds of courses (that often receive requests for rounds of golf from charitable organizations) have adopted this free solution that handles the entire process of responding to charities and supporting the organizations (while increasing your revenue!) – OneSpareTeeTime is an online resource that takes care of all of the administrative tasks that come with charitable requests. Plus it generates a promotional flyer (logo, photo description of your course) for the fundraiser manager (to post at their black tie event). Course managers and marketing executives automatically receive all contact information for the non-profit event organizers and the winning bidders so they can sell more memberships and golf outings.
By helping themselves and helping great charities, TPC Four Seasons also receives 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 4,628 remaining courses. To submit your course information and/or edit the information they have on file, click here. Make sure your outings sales manager’s email is in our system so they will receive all of the outing inquiries from your area.
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 (the company behind all of the Geronimo Solutions) 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 win-win opportunity that hundreds of courses are already embracing. We hope to reach 1000 courses by the end of this year so 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 receive a free listing on BestOutings.com and will receive all of the golf outing leads automatically.
