5 things you need to know about selling your tee times online
1. Don’t pay a commission.
If your tee time is sold online, you should receive 100% of the revenue. Some vendors will attempt to charge a commission for online sales: this is an outdated model. Online Teetimes operates a highly successful 0% commission service. This means maximum revenue and flexibility for you, the golf club.
2. Don’t overspend on technology.
Many club secretaries and managers are confused by the technology alternatives. In reality, the technology needed to process an online booking is very simple, so much so that Online Teetimes provides it for free. Get it at the foot of this page. What matters more is point 3.
3. Distribute your tee times widely.
Technology is not the issue - but sales is the issue. Online Teetimes will distribute your Teetimes to more than 300,000 golfers. Reaching golfers is something we excel at. We forge partnerships with high-traffic lifestyle websites to promote your Teetimes to a huge audience.
4. Grow sales initially through your own website.
90% of golfers want to book tee times online in 2007, according to a recent golf magazine survey, and your own website will initially be the chief driver of your online green fee sales. However, as golfers get more used to the idea of booking green fees on the internet, they will increasingly use search engines such as Google to find available tee times. Sites like www.teetimes.co.uk will therefore contribute an increasing proportion of your online sales as time passes. Your best tactic is to ensure that both your own club website and 3rd party websites can drive your green fee sales. Online Teetimes is Europe's most successful online tee time provider.
5. Stay in control of your tee sheet.
Do not relinquish your tee sheet to a 3rd party website. Stay in control. You can decide the price, availability and frequency of Teetimes you want to sell online by working with Online Teetimes. We work with you - not against you.
