Christmas Getting Ready Checklist - Part 3: Preparing Your Golf Shop for the Festive Season Pricing & Promotions • Run special Christmas promotions: Offer holiday discounts, “buy one, get one” deals, or limited-time bundle offers to encourage purchases. • Highlight gift cards: Golf shop gift cards are a great option for shoppers unsure of what to buy. Promote them prominently at the checkout area. • Create holiday gift bundles: Bundle together popular items like gloves, balls, and tees at a special price. Make it easy for customers to purchase complete gift sets. • Offer "early-bird" specials: Promote pre-Christmas discounts or free wrapping for customers who shop early. • Members-only specials: Offer exclusive discounts or early access to sales for club members to drive traffic. Store Layout & Traffic Flow • Optimize store layout: Place high-demand, giftable items in prominent areas near the front of the shop and throughout high-traffic zones. • Ensure smooth traffic flow: Clear walkways and avoid clutter to make it easy for shoppers to move around the store during busy periods. • Promote popular items in high-visibility areas: Place best-sellers and holiday bundles near the entrance to capture attention as soon as customers walk in. #CallInTheExperts #IncreasedProfitability #BenefitfromourExperience👍

Christmas Getting Ready Checklist - Part 1: Preparing Your Golf Shop for the Festive Season The holiday season is just around the corner, and it’s time to get your golf shop ready to make the most of the busiest shopping period of the year! Christmas presents a golden opportunity to boost sales, attract new customers, and create a memorable shopping experience for regulars. To ensure your shop is fully prepared, we’ve created a comprehensive checklist to help you get everything in order. In this first part of our "Christmas Getting Ready Checklist," we’ll cover essential tasks to start setting the stage for a successful festive season. From planning your product assortment to setting up eye-catching displays, these steps will give your shop the perfect holiday vibe, encourage impulse buys, and ensure smooth operations during the Christmas rush. Let's get started on making this holiday season your most profitable yet! PART 1. Stock & Inventory Preparation • Analyse last year’s sales trends: Review what sold well last Christmas to inform stocking decisions. • Order popular items early: Ensure ample supply of key products like golf balls, gloves, apparel, clubs, and gift packs. • Check stock levels: Make sure you have extra stock of high-demand categories (golf balls, tees, hats, drinks) to meet increased demand. • Prepare for impulse buys: Stock up on smaller, easy-to-grab items (tees, ball markers, gloves) as they make great stocking fillers. • Seasonal/limited-edition products: Order any seasonal merchandise (e.g., Christmas-themed golf gear or gift sets) and promote them as limited-time offers. #CallInTheExperts #IncreasedProfitability👍

🚨 The Power of Big Category Displays in Your Golf Shop 🚨 Want to drive serious sales in your shop? Let’s talk about the BIG displays and how they impact your bottom line! 🏌️♂️💥 📍 Placement Matters! Strategic location is everything. Place large category displays (balls, gloves, caps/hats, drinksl) in high-traffic areas like near the entrance or along main walkways. Make sure customers can’t miss them! Your best-sellers should have prime real estate! 🎯 Promotional Activity Boosts Engagement Don’t just display—promote! Regular deals, special offers, or "limited time" promos tied to big displays create urgency. Use banners, signage, and digital screens to grab attention and highlight promotions. Keep customers coming back for more! 💸 Pricing is Key Price your big categories competitively and clearly. A well-placed price tag or deal sign can be the difference between a passing glance and a purchase. Highlight discounts or bundles to show value and make it a no-brainer for shoppers to buy. Big category displays + smart placement + strong promos = BIG profits! 💪💸 #MerchandisingWins #CallInTheExperts #IncreasedProfitability ⛳️
