Club Release Graphic Design Marketing Golf Industry Australia

WHAT WE DO

we help golf clubs get on top of their marketing and design

Managing the daily tasks of a golf club is a tough gig. Managing memberships, a greenskeeper team, scheduling events, keeping the functions area booked, sponsors, hospitality and licensed areas, weather tracking, keeping the pro shop up to date (or working with a contractor), booking gigs and entertainment, dealing with complaints about bunkers being compacted - the list is extensive!

That’s where we can help. We are a passionate graphic design and marketing studio, who have worked with golf clubs, pro shops and driving ranges and have achieved incredible results for our clients by taking some or all graphic design related tasks off their hands. We are golfers ourselves, so we know the language and terminology so your marketing and design materials aren’t corrected by your members!

what we can provide

The following list is a great way to start thinking of the wide variety of things we can assist you with on a regular basis. This can free up the time of you and your team to dedicate to planning and managing the club's daily operations and upcoming projects. We can create specialised design for your innovative ideas to the standard expected of your current and prospective members, along with the other income earning aspects of your specific club, such as function areas, hospitality venues, pro shop operations and more.

interior sign system design

Interior signs can lift the inside of a clubhouse by displaying course records, historical memorabilia but can also extend to implementing a way-finding or directional signage system (think ammenities, door titles, arrows) through to creative wallpaper printed with a repeating club logo or having frosted vinyl applied in a branded style to the inside of windows and glass doors to create privacy.

Members and guests love "putting a face to a name" and staff bios for the entire team or just the coaching staff are always a nice touch.

exterior sign design

Exterior signs are abundant in golf related businesses but particularly for golf clubs. These could include advertising billboards facing the street, sponsor signs, sponsor tee box signs, temporary repair and safety signs, through to on-course directions, maps, car park signs and general directional signs. Having a system developed where signs follow a pre-determined style can help to minimise future graphic design time and can create that cohesive look throughout the premises and course that members and guests will appreciate.

membership process collateral

The first impression of a prospective new member is through the design and printing (if not digital) of the club information document and the application form/s. This can extend through to printed membership cards (if used) and durable bag tags. These items should be created in-line with the club's status or branding whether formal, traditional or contemporary in design.

golf collateral

Well designed and thought out everyday items such as social golf score cards, maps and local rules go a long way to creating a lasting impression with guests and social golfers who may be considering membership. Providing items such as ball markers free of charge for courses with green fees at the top end of the scale is a memorable and thoughtful keepsake and will be highly regarded amongst golfers. Having a digital display with the day's course conditions is also an easy to implement way of communicating the day's cart use, preferred lie rules or bunkers being treated as GUR. This can also be created with detachable magnetic or sliding signs for clubs wishing to use digital displays.

club/organisation branding

For clubs or golf establishments who already have a great logo (or one of historical significance), we can create a branding guidelines document which outlines the formatting of club documents (eg font use) through to colour code breakdowns for various uses, and how stationery, signs, apparel, uniforms and other collateral is recommended to be created to create consistency throughout the organisation.

pro shop

Pro shops serve many purposes from handling check-ins, bookings, broadcasting starts, through to the sale of equipment and accessories. With some pro shops being managed in-house and some contracted out, we understand the complexities of displaying consistent branding or for contracted pro shops potentially using their own brand. We can assist in many ways by designing apparel and merchandise (polo shirts, ball markers, pitch mark repair tools, towels, head covers etc) to be placed on sale through to retail and point of sale displays in printed or digital forms. Coaching and golf lesson collateral can also be created to attract members or attract external golfers through flyers, social media, social campaigns, Google Ads and many more.

marketing

Marketing collateral can be broken up into digital and printed. It may include the design of social media collateral, vehicle wraps, EDMs, through to social media campaigns, Google Ads and even taking on your entire social media portfolio with our digital approval system. Promotion of the food outlet, upcoming gigs and events, the gaming area, functions facility, pro shop services, club fittings through to general golf requires a strategy and planning. We can assist with almost anything and our aim is to ensure that your organisation reaches its goals and makes its required budget.

staff uniforms

Having staff uniforms designed can be a breath of fresh air for a golf organisation and does wonders for staff morale. We can design uniforms and apparel for everyone from greenskeepers needing to stay warm and dry on cold winter mornings, through to pro shop staff, the office team, gaming area and functions team.

food, hospitality and functions

Keeping the food outlet of a golf club bustling is important to make budgets and provide a great experience for patrons. We can assist with designing the look of your menus, signs, table talkers, digital promotional screens, point of sale screens, menu boards, coasters through to your napkins! We also assist by promoting the venue through social media and digital collateral and creating functions and catering information packs for prospective clients looking to host their wedding or celebration.

stationery & internal communications

Golf clubs and related businesses benefit from having their letterheads (printed and digital templates), business cards, loyalty cards, gift vouchers, envelopes, email signatures, invoices, with compliments slips and everything in between professionally designed to be cohesive throughout the entire organisation. We can even arrange for everything to be printed as well through our trusted supplier network!

custom fitting

Nearing the conclusion of the three month trial package, we will reach out to you to get some feedback on how you found the experience and if you are happy to continue working with us on a regular basis. If you are we will provide a “Custom Fitting”.

The Custom Fitting will look at the marketing materials you need us to help provide for your organisation, and we will formulate a recommended package for continuing our services over the following 12 months. Depending on how you operate and the services you require, we will create a calendar for the following 12 months that helps you to plan ahead and keep those frantic last-minute efforts to a minimum.

We have had great success with clients who engage us for our marketing and design services. It helps golf businesses ensure that their marketing efforts remain consistent, to a very high standard and are keeping in line with the positioning of the business/organisation.

Take a look at some of our testimonials below whom we have worked with extensively over several years.

Matt Allan

PGA professional
The Golf Centre

We have been working with Outspoken Entourage for many years now in our capacity as a contracted Pro Shop operator.

They created The Golf Centre logo and associated branding which helped to give us an identity that differentiated us from the golf club.

OE has rolled out many jobs for us, from retail and point of sale materials, signs, marquees, apparel and merchandise, email signatures, loyalty cards through to our full range of stationery, vouchers, forms and social media marketing.

We have had a great response from our members, who often comment about our branding! And, after multiple requests to provide polo shirts and caps for purchase, Outspoken Entourage created a line of merchandise. They have also been busy building our website, which will be launched soon! (since launched)

Having a multi-dimensional business (coaching, retail, pro shop operations) meant utilising a team that understood the industry and the different demographic targets we work with.

We have been so happy with the team, and they have been invaluable with their creative ideas and always go beyond our expectations. We have no hesitation in recommending them and welcome you to get in touch if you need help in your decision to engage their services.
