Social Media Marketing Webinars Spring Schedule Released for the Golf Industry

March 24, 2010 - PRLog -- JACKSONVILLE, Fl –The Tour Resource Center (TRC) has become the Go-to resource for the golf industry specializing in social media marketing campaigns. Initially The TRC became most famous for its website, www.TourResourceCenter.com. The TRC website includes information on thousand’s of tournaments (how to register, how to qualify, what level, etc.); golf tips (mental, playing nutritional), college recruiting, and more. TRC quickly has climbed the ladder to become one of the hottest golf sites on the web.

To get there, TRC undertook an aggressive approach through non-traditional marketing avenues, and looked to the web to spread the word and drive traffic. After all, in its Fall 2009 Newsletter, the National Golf Foundation had reported that 65% of young golfers read blogs, watch video on the web, listen to podcasts, read forums, and read ratings and reviews; while 48% of core golfers and 48% of the general population follow suit.  Press Releases, Twitter, Blogs to Google Standards, and a thorough understanding of search engine optimization, has been vital in TRC’s growth; and others have noticed. In fact, golf professionals and golf companies are now turning to TRC to help launch and market their products via social networking/marketing avenues.

In fact, Lorin Anderson, Executive Director, Instructor Division of AMF Golf Management has turned to Tour Resource Center to help his golf professionals. "Like everyone else, AMF is working to unlock the secrets to driving business through social media. TRC is one of the most adept companies we've seen so far at building a business using a wide variety of social media outlets. AMF is tapping into TRC's knowledge in this area to put AMF and our members on the fast track to growing in the same ways," said Anderson.

“We build upon traditional marketing, and then explode it on the internet with cutting edge social media marketing techniques, all of which brings more NEW consumers into the golf world” said TRC Founder and CEO Georgina Lewis.  “Everyone thinks that setting up a Twitter & Facebook account coupled with a few blogs, will net them new clients.  That is not it at all, if you don’t know how to capitalize on the Google points to rank your blog, for example, then no one can find it on the Internet.  You might as well throw your article in the trash can.”

AMF Golf Management was created by and is for golf professionals to help them grow their business and value to their respective facilities by providing them innovative solutions … and TRC offers members of AMF Golf Management a truly unique solution. "TRC is a critical resource for golf professionals who are trying to put the best possible information regarding tournament golf into the hands of their students and while there are other resources available, TRC is doing a great job of putting everything in one place for quick and easy access," said Anderson.
