What Everybody Needs to Know About Golf Promotional Products

Now you can take that box of golf promotional products out of the closet. Reach your hand way back into that old file cabinet in the corner, which nobody seems to use except for storage anymore, and grab yourself a handful of those golf balls and golf tees with your company’s logo on them. It’s time to start advertising your business once again. Promotional corporate gifts, products imprinted with corporate logos, or custom products with corporate logos, like imprinted items and corporate apparel are all making a comeback in the new economy.


The evolution of internet news, SMS technology and popular hand-held devices like the iPhone and the Blackberry has completely revolutionized marketing. Today, mobile technology is all the rage, as more people actually receive their news from internet related technology than from the traditional print media; like magazines and daily newspapers. Somewhere, there must be millions of trees jumping up and down and hollering out loud: “Yeah!” No doubt, the Environmental Movement is rather happy as well.


Nonetheless, according to a Pew Research study conducted in the summer of 2008 the steady decline in ad revenues has put the American newspaper industry in a dire situation. The percentage of the American population who got their news from traditional newspapers in 1993 was 58%; by 2008 that fiqure was down to just 34%. Today, more than 15% of the public owns either a Blackberry or an iPhone, and over one third of these people rely upon their smart phones for their news. The number of corporate executives and middle management employees who have these devices is actually much higher than that as you can imagine. Many of these executives are the actual people who are empowered to make final buying decisions for their companies, and just as many of them are also golf enthusiasts as well.


Where am I going with all of this? It’s simple! Promotion items with corporate logos on them, like corporate gifts, apparel and trade show giveaways have always been a more personal way to brand your company. The person who uses a pen or a mouse pad with your logo on it is more likely to choose your business when it is time to make a purchasing decision. Practical items like coffee mugs, key chains, and tape measures all have highly practical uses that help to work the idea of your company’s “brand” into the consciousness of the recipient of these gifts.



The company executive who carries a sports bag, wears a jacket, uses golf balls, an umbrella, divots, golf tee’s or towels imprinted with your custom logo on, it is making a bold statement about the quality of your products. Even smaller items typically given out at trade shows, in the hands of the golf enthusiast can be an enormous boost to your brand. Golf promotional products can often convey the idea that your company has class and sophistication. Investing in these items is sure to pay off in the long run.

Re: Just Saying Hello - Hi Camil, Welcome to the forum. You have a great mentor, one of the best, he has been a great help to me and many others. You found a very good niche, Golf, is very popular niche, but you need to redesign your website, I suggest using a WP based website, because right now your website is a long sales page and not very friendly, I wanted to click out. Pay Per Action can be a good solution for you and if you still want to use PPC, try MSN system, and not Adwords, it will be cheaper. The main thing is to keep a budget, and never spend a cent more. NEVER! if you know how much you are going to spend, there wil be no surprises. Good luck
Re: Question for the Masses - Okay, millions, first I would like to tell the members of the forum I come from(Kenya) and US$ 1million is equivalent to Kshs 80Million. This money can buy 2 houses each 6 bedrooms in one acre of land in the poshest areas in Nairobi (The capital city). This would make me the neighbor to the current and the retired presidents, the head of European union, the richest people in that country just to mention. If I don't buy those houses, I would but over 10,000 hectares of land in the fertile areas and become a coffee farmer, selling my coffee to Starbucks and the like, making me even more richer. If I don't want to become a coffee farmer, then I would convert the land to one of the biggest golf course that even Tiger Woods would pay to play. I don't know well what I would do with many more millions of dollars, but with only one million dollars, then I would invite all the members of this forum to come play Golf in my huge golf course.
