Site Caddy for Golf Clubs

The internet is an extremely powerful tool offering a cost effective opportunity for golf clubs to promote to members and golfers. But keeping a club's website up to date is difficult and time consuming and most clubs are reliant on others to update the site, adding delays and frustration. Golf clubs need a website and online marketing tool that helps them to attract and retain members.

Return On Investment

As golf clubs world-wide suffer the effects of the recession, it is more important than ever to find cost-effective methods of attracting new members and golfers and retaining membership levels. Unfortunately many clubs do not see their website as a tool to help them increase revenue while reducing costs.

Golf Club's using Site Caddy to manage online services can experience greater thatn 1,000% return on invesment every year. Use our return on investment calculator to determine the ROI your Club could generate with Site Caddy, and learn about how we calculate ROI.

Ease Of Use

We don't believe your staff or members need to become webmasters to harness the power of the internet. Site Caddy's job is to shield you from technology so you can focus on your core tasks, and apply your business logic and marketing practices to the web. Learn more about how easy it is to use Site Caddy.

Tee-Time Reservations

Site Caddy accommodates integrations with the most popular tee-time reservations systems such as those from BRS Golf and Online Tee Times. We will liaise with their staff to get your accounts integrated in minutes.

Member Management

How many different places do you store member data at your Club or business? In a member management system such as Convenor from Genesys Technologies? Another one in your tee-time booking system? Perhaps another in an accountancy package? And another in your Site Caddy account?

Site Caddy includes tools to help reduce the clutter and redundancies of managing the same data in multiple locations. Import your data into Site Caddy once, and then keep it in synch with your master database on a regular basis in just minutes. And allow your members to update their own details — Site Caddy will send an alert whenever this happens, and enable your staff to keep all systems in synch.

Content Management for Golf Clubs

Site Caddy is a complete content management system, including all the features any business would require to

• Unlimited pages
• Complete control over menus and links
• Simple page editor
• News and event calendar management
• Photo galleries
• Connections to popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube

But what makes Site Caddy a truly unique solution for Golf Clubs are its dozens of custom-built types of dynamic content:

• Fixtures and results
• Rates and special offers
• Course tours and flyovers
• Committee tables
• Event calendars and diaries

With a focus on tee-time bookings, member services and communications, Site Caddy offers golf clubs the control they need to create and update their own website, to effectively communicate with members and visitors as well as promote the club and its services online.  We can either customise a new website for your club or plug Site Caddy into your current site design. You can then:

Private Member Areas

Creating a secure, password-protected area on your website for member-only access takes only minutes. And choose a password strategy that makes sense for your club: open access, a single username and password for all, or each member having their own username and password.

And since each member can edit their own profile once logged in, you can reduce the number of requests to your office for lost passwords or changed contact details. Your members can update their own details, meaning less time spent by your staff, and a more up-to-date member database.

Your member area could include:

• Member tee-time booking facility
• Member news, calendar of events, bulletin board and photo gallery
• Intra-member communications via forums or message boards
• Current handicap details and calendar of club competitions
• Links to useful web sites
• Committee and team information and news
• Club officers, documentation, forms and rules
• Contact, feedback & survey pages connecting members to management

Communications With A Purpose

Site Caddy provides all the tools you need to communicate with your members and golfers including:

• E-Mail
• SMS text messages
• Surveys

Secure Online Sales

Ecommerce is an effective way to increase sales through your website and online promotion. Clubs can sell:

• Pro-shop merchandise: move merchandise that is not selling in the shop
• Tickets: increase attendance at member and other club events
• Tee-times reservations: with access to online tee-time booking systems

Distribution of Labour
