What are your MAIN criteria?
What is the most important factor that will make you move from your existing club or joining your first club or new club when moving to a new area?
I am in a meeting later today so please respond ASAP.
Topics I am covering are:
Joining fees, are they all that important to do away with when they can be spread over 10 years which they then become pretty insignificant?
(I am concerned were selling price, which anyone can do rather than selling the quality of the course and it's brand)
Would receiving a brochure from the club when considering joining give the right impression of it's presentation and image?
If joining over the winter or quieter months, would a reduced membership be attractive such as 9 months for the price 7 or 8 for 6 etc be attractive?
If you had a digital newsletter on your website updated weekly/monthly, would you log in and read it and do you currently use your current website much looking for information?
Does your club actively use social media for results, the course, social events, in fact anything?
Are you happy with having visitors on your course at weekends, not large societies, but controlled 4, 8 or 12 maximum and at known quieter times to create essential revenue or should it be weekdays only!
What incentives does your club currently offer you for introducing a new member, if any?
Dos your club have an Open Day geared around inviting potential new members and if so, what does it consist of and how productive do you think it is?
Obviously the course has to be good enough to join, I appreciate some people don't have the income to join the best available in their immediate area, and being the best will always be subjective, BUT, if the subscriptions were all the same for say 5 clubs in your area, what with the above taken into account (and anything else that's important to you) what would sway you between 1 or the other, discounting the joining fee at this time?
Do you have a Men's Open competition
Do you get involved in social events, if not why?
Are your social events geared around the older members that frequent them regularly, do you have gentleman's evenings, comedian (rude) etc.
How much emphasis and considerations are shown towards the juniors?
Thank you, I threw it together rather quickly as I've been away a lot this week and its crept up on me, so if your were unsettled at your current club or have just moved to a new area and are looking to join, or indeed just starting out, what are your key deal breakers to join if all things cost wise were pretty equal, or slightly more expensive but within your means.
