12 Simple Ways to Increase Your Online Booking
Improve your golfers’ tee time booking experience by encouraging them to book online at your club’s website. When golfers book online you automatically build your club’s customer database. Golfers booking online can eliminate thousands of phone calls in the pro shop each year, giving your staff more time to engage with customers in the pro shop. As an added bonus – golfers will learn more about your club’s offerings directly from your website!
PLUG-INS
Add our latest Tee On plug-ins to your club’s website (e.g. combo, specials, members, leagues, etc.) – they’ve been enhanced for 2014 to be mobile friendly! Learn more: (add link to the plugins page here). If you have any questions about adding the plug-ins, please call Tee On at 519-434-7877.
MOBILE FRIENDLY
Include our mobile friendly plug-in on your website. Tee On’s booking service works on all smartphones and tablets. It’s better than an app – there’s nothing for your customer to download!
FACEBOOK APP
Post Tee On’s App to your club’s Facebook page to allow golfers to book at your course through Facebook. Golfers will share it with their community of friends - dramatically increasing your ‘likes’. Be sure to regularly add “book online at our club” to your Facebook posts. Call Tee On for details at 519-434-7877.
Tweet “book online at our club” regularly through your club’s twitter account.
TABLE TENTS
Use restaurant table tents to promote online booking once golfers are at your club. Be sure to let them know that they can book times from their smart phones!
CUSTOMIZED RECEIPTS, ETC.
Promote booking online through your sales receipts, gift certificates, and rain checks. Be sure to circle the message with a highlighter marker to emphasize it with your customers.
INCENTIVES
Reward your golfers if they book online with discounts or value added promotions. Minimal discounts are often enough incentive to get customers to try online booking (e.g.Save $2 when you book online).
