What to work on this week...
Our last two newsletters have given you our thoughts on why you should use Pinterest or  Instagram or both for your business. So now that you have decided to give them a try we will give you some tips this week and next to maximize your usage.

Pinterest Tips
  • Pinterest is all about the images so post good ones. Blurry, pixelated, too small or just plain bad images are not meant for Pinterest (or Instagram). If you must, save the poorer quality pics for Facebook.
  • One of the reasons to use Pinterest is to drive traffic to your website or your online store. So you must always link your pins to one of your pages. Make sure to link to the specific page or the actual product not just your home page.
  • Create a board for each specific area of your business. You can have boards for the golf course, golf equipment, your restaurant, weddings, etc. Each board may have a different audience so don't just lump your pins all together. Target each board to a specific audience and then link the pins on that board to the appropriate call to action - i.e. book a tee time, inquire about a wedding, buy a product etc.
We have written a whole list of tips in our latest blog so if you are interested in more click the link below...

Gallus Golf Mobile App
We have been encouraging and promoting that all golf courses use three pillars of internet marketing - their website, a newsletter and at least one social media platform to promote their businesses. Now we want you to start thinking about two more pillars that are important to expand your reach and your ROI...mobile apps and online stores.

For this reason we are pleased to announce our recent partnership with Gallus Golf.  Gallus Golf has now created over 500 custom golf course apps across North America. Their goal is to help golf courses attract more customers and create new opportunities for revenue growth with existing customers.
  • 57% of smartphone users access apps every single day of the month
  • App usage accounts for approx 7 out of every 8 minutes of mobile device activity
  • The median iPhone app user earns $85,000 per year (golfers with $$ to spend at your course!)

CK Golf has partnered with Gallus Golf to bring mobile app technology to more golf courses and more golfers across Canada. We can answer any questions you have about setting up an app and how it can increase your revenues. We can also help keep your app up to date and train your staff on how to get the most out of your investment.



If you would like more information about creating a Gallus Golf custom app for your golf course please give Jeff a call at 604-506-2226 or email jeff@ckgolf.ca.
