Annual Software Fee

As with most technology platforms, consumers will pay an annual software fee, often referred to as a licence fee. Also, the PlayMoreGolf the annual software fee you pay covers licenses, staff, software upkeep and much more.

There are no other dedicated flexible membership providers in the market to provide a like for like comparison on cost but there are Golf Management Software providers that offer a flexible membership as a bolt on to other products they provide.

Some providers offer this as a FREE solution but worth ensuring you have the resource to market this membership, manage member queries as this can be time consuming.

(Read our blog I can run my own flexible membership scheme so why should I partner with PlayMoreGolf.)

Commission

There is a fixed fee for new joiners and renewals, which covers our marketing costs and the cost of processing payments.

The reason this charge is the same for new joiners and renewals is because over the length of the partnership we provide marketing every month and our cost would not be covered by new joiners alone.

We would encourage you to use our calculator to assess your return on your investment over a 2 or 3 year period. Bearing in mind the cost to partner with PlayMoreGolf means you do not have to spend time doing the marketing, joining new members up, renewing members, and managing member queries. You can invest your time in other areas of golf club life.

8 Steps to Going Live With PlayMoreGolf

Step 1 - Essential Information

Our first step is to gather some essential information from you about your club, which helps us to build your club page on our network. This includes some signature images of your club and course that can be used when prospects are visiting your explore page on our website, we will also obtain current green fee prices, which helps to create your points matrix and your current 7 day membership selling price, which helps to establish the selling price of your flexible membership.

Step 2 - Building your Club Page and CRM System

Once we have the essential information your Club Support Manager will commence work on adding the information into our system, which builds your club page on our network and your club page on our CRM system, which will be used to manage leads being generated from our marketing.

Step 3 - Training Session Tasks

In Step 3 your Club Support Manager will be liaising with your tee sheet provider to request connectivity to your tee sheet, they will build your points matrix based on the green fee prices you have provided during step 1 and will propose your flexible membership selling price.

Step 4 - Marketing Plans

In Step 4 your Club Support Manager will be devising a launch plan for marketing, which includes our paid marketing, content marketing to showcase the benefits to prospects, creation of all the assets that will be used in the marketing process including email templates, social media templates and physical marketing in the form of postcards for the pro shop to display and or banners. We also ask for you to create a section under the membership page of your website to inform visitors to your
website that you have flexible membership scheme in place.

Step 5 - Sign off by you

Your Club Support Manage will seek final sign off from you with regards your Club page, your points matrix, your selling price, your marketing launch plan.

Step 6 - Training

This is when your Club Support Manager will visit your club to undertake training in the system. It is good to ensure all team members that will be involved in the process to be present and ideally Pro Shop Team, Office Team and General Manager/Secretary. This step is a great opportunity for you and or your team to ask any question of your Club Support Manager.

Step 7 - Pre-Launch Testing

At step 7, your Club Support Manager will be testing the system to ensure everything is working as it should be. They will be doing tasks such as making a booking to ensure the booking feeds into your tee sheet software. Then, making enquiries via your explore page on our website to ensure the lead filters into your dashboard and sends an email to you to notify you of the new lead, they will go through the process of how a new member joins to ensure all processes work.

Step 8 - Launch

Finally, once the Club Support Manager is happy that steps 1-7 are all completed, they will seek to launch your club into the PlayMoreGolf Network and begin to generate leads for your club.
