As prime golf season approaches, many are planning their summer tournaments. To spread the word about these exciting gatherings, you will need a marketing plan and a suite of promotional gifts. Below, Bretsky Promotions in St. Louis, MO, shares three ways to promote your tournament to increase attendance.

3 Tips for Promoting Your Golf Tournament

1. Think About Your Audience

Consider who you are targeting. If you want regular golfers to attend, publicize at nearby courses. Whether you choose flyers, posters, or other displays, you will likely pique the interest of hobbyists and professionals. If you’re running an open tournament, you may want to create radio or newspaper advertisements to expand your audience.

2. Spread the Word on Social Media

When you have all the details about the event ready, you should create a social media event and share it with applicable friends and family. Then, post to local golf groups and make sure the course publishes the event on their website and calendar. This way, friends can branch out and share with other golf buddies, increasing your registration.

3. Hand Out Promotional Gifts

To thank golfers for their entry and to remind them to sign up next year, you should create branded gifts with the tournament’s logo. This will serve as a reminder of the great time they had and will begin spreading the word about your next tournament as golfers use their branded tumblers, mugs, pens, or other gifts. Hats and sunglasses are especially helpful as participants can wear them on the course.

Whether your tournament is for seasoned golfers or is a benefit for a local charity, the right marketing can boost registration and attendance.
