Recieved a phone call from  a marketing group that publishes mags for placement in golf courses around the country.

Any feed back would be nice,  I think I may be sold as it seems like a very reasonable  price for year round exposure. They will design the ad etc. for no additional charge.

The Mag is :

http://theturngolf.com/12.html

 

The pricing we can get :

So for the quarter page instead of $600 it would be $300, for the half page instead of $800 it would be $400, and for the full page instead of $1200 it would be $600. This includes the graphic design work, typesetting and distribution for the year. Currently we have open campaigns in:

Bradenton FL, Pebble Beach CA, Charleston SC, Auburn AL, Dallas TX, Princeton NJ, Richmond VA, Nashville TN, Charlotte NC, Scottsdale AZ, Southern New Jersey, Tuscon AZ, Boston MA. Austin, TX and Columbus, OH. Those are areas where we can still include ads.

Let me know if you would like the contact info or if you have ever used this particular group or one similiar to it.

Thanks,

Kim R

The calls I get start with "I'm calling from ____________ (the most prestigious golf courses in Dallas ) and I say are you calling from that golf club ? ....well no......but we can get you exclusive exposure...


Pretty simple really.... go to the golf course and try and find the magazine.



Like Chris tucker said hell no and.....:..........#$#%&&&%$@@@!!*?/)(''"_'(). Lol good luck

Mike, is this the one you got? (below).. Kim, I asked a person that goes to both Chartwell and and Old South and neither had ever seen the publication. I doubt it is bogus 100%, but if a member doesn't even know or care about it, then what good is it? For some reason I don't think a wealthy golfer is going to dig through a free mag for a cleaner.

"Your Roofing/Home Improvement Company has been recommended to be included in the 2011-2012 annual Business and Services Directory for the following Country Clubs in the Annapolis, Maryland area.

ANNAPOLIS GOLF CLUB
HERITAGE HARBOR GOLF CLUB
CHARTWELL GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
OLD SOUTH COUNTRY CLUB
THE GOLF CLUB AT SOUTH RIVER
The Directory is a FREE business & service directory available to the members, guests, and homeowners of these exclusive golf & country clubs. Your company was one of two recommended for this category. This exclusive opportunity is being offered to a select few companies in the Annapolis area. If you would like additional information and the minimal cost to be included, please call at your earliest convenience. We will have more than enough participants by October 6, 2011.

Warm Regards,

Matt Smith

Kim,

Golf is a struggling industry right now. I just talked the other day to a guy who sold his golf corse for 2.5 mil 6 years ago and now the bank that had the note on it hired him back to run it while it was in forclosure from the group he sold it to. (he was calling me to get into the roof cleaning business)

If there are golf courses in your area you wish to advertise to go to them directly. Many golf courses / country clubs have advertising oportunities of their own. Score card sponsors, hole sponsors, event sponsors, menus at the 19th hole, even the inside of the port-o-let door can have an ad on it.

Hope this helps,

AC

These people I find out are pretty ignorant and this posts serves as a heads up to other guys out there.
Here is the emailing I sent & reply received:
What part of what did he not get?  let alone an additional phone call later on.

Thanks for the info everyone, and let this post ride into other good, bad or ugly marketing tools.

David,
I have spoken with the other two partners in Presidential and they have are not interested in putting an ad campaign together this year. Some significant changes are being done and until that is complete all advertisement has been halted. Next year will be a better time for us, I will keep your information on file.
Thank you,
Kim Rousseau
