Largest, Targeted Audience of Golf Travelers
June 17, 2015, New York, N.Y. – Golf Vacation Insider, the web’s best source of independent golf travel advice, now has more than 350,000 subscribers actively opening its email alerts, making it the largest and most engaged audience of golf travelers.
Golf Vacation Insider provides subscribers with a free blog and email alerts with expert, honest, and trustworthy advice on where to play, stay, and dine worldwide. Readers receive reviews of golf packages, golf courses and golf resorts, plus dozens of free guides to golf destinations worldwide. Golf Vacation Insider’s subscriber base is currently growing at a rate of 5,000 per month, despite robust list hygiene efforts such as voluntarily ‘turning off’ inactive subscribers.
“Unlike others, we’re equally focused on growing our audience and our engagement with our audience,” said Craig Better, Editor and Publisher, Golf Vacation Insider. “Our readers know we’re not afraid to tell it like it is when we post reviews, and they’ve come to trust and rely on the advice and suggestions we provide.”
Golf Vacation Insider’s travel tips and golf course, resort, and restaurant reviews are based mainly on anonymous, “secret shopper” inspections. The company does not sell golf packages or arrange/book golf vacations as part of its commitment to honest and unbiased reviews.
“The bottom line is, we respect the relationship we’ve formed with our readers, and we promise never to publish anything unless we think it’s truly worthy of their attention. Our approach is founded on editorial independence and objectivity,” added Better. “It’s one of the reasons our emails enjoy average open rates from 35%-45% vs. the industry average of 8%-12%, and why our sponsors are thrilled with their results.”
In addition to publishing weekly travel tips, Golf Vacation Insider provides its readers with free guides to golf vacations worldwide. The golf vacation guides provide insider secrets and priceless advice on resorts such as Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, and Kiawah Island, and general travel topics such as Playing America’s Top-100 Private Courses. Shipping Golf Clubs, Planning Epic Golf Trips, and more.
Golf Vacation Insider does accept advertising on its website and in its emails, but even these messages are often unique golf/travel opportunities or money-saving offers not available anyplace else.
