Imprinted corporate golf gifts are the perfect business or executive gift that your client and/or employee will use for the majority of the year. The March 2006 Promotional Marketing article, Stretch the Opportunities for Golf Products, states ”Fifty percent or more of executives play golf, and most feel it is a good way to make contacts and do business”. With so many executives playing golf and more joining the ranks daily, personalized corporate golf gifts are becoming more popular and appreciated than ever before.

Executive golf gifts may include clocks in the shape of a golf ball or golf club, imprinted Titleist golf balls or Ping, Nike and Callaway golf shirts, gloves, and golf towels. Imprinting your company name and logo on the golf items provides your clients with a fine golf gift that they will use and keep, while you get to advertise to them subtly, over and over again.

So many people play golf on the weekends, when traveling, and at business meetings, its safe to assume golf products are valued and put to good use. However, many promotional golf products make great gifts even to the non-golfer. For example, a golf shirt is a comfortable choice even for people who don’t play golf. There are numerous choices for imprinted apparel, from high-end golf shirts to t-shirts to caps. The next article will discuss the various styles, materials and technologies in golf apparel to help you choose the right gift for the golfer and non-golfer in your company or client list.

Last week we discussed the popularity of golf in the United States. This week we are discussing Golf Tournaments, their popularity, who produces golf tournaments and some of the most widely used promotional products used at golf tournaments. According to the Corporate Logo Magazine March 2006 article over 1 million golf tournaments are held in the United States each year. Meeting planners, corporations, charities, schools, associations and civic groups make up the six major groups that host golf tournaments.

Golf tournaments can be used to raise money for charity, gain recognition, recreation, thank you for support and competition. Many various types for promotional products are available for each of these categories. For example, low cost items such as golf tees, golf pencils and golf balls can be used for the charity events. These items show appreciation to the participants of the charity event. Golf towels, because of the large imprint area are ideal for gaining recognition. Golf bags, tournament kits and golf apparel make great appreciation gifts and golf awards for participants of competitive golf tournaments.

With the popularity of golf tournaments increasing many organizers are turning to golf promotional products to show appreciation and present awards to the golf tournament participants.

Here is a good example of quality promo golf balls of Titleist brand.  Comes with 3 golf balls, a classic 4 color golf motif on tube, a choice of cap colors, and 2 color imprint on each ball.

Giving imprinted golf balls to the participants of recreational golf tournaments is relatively inexpensive but a fun way to promote the tournament.

With the increased popularity of golf, so is the need for the wide variety of golf products. Within a four part weekly series of the popularity of golf promotions we will discuss the popularity of golf, new products for golf tournaments, executive gifts and the club house. In this first post we will discuss the popularity of golf, and some popular imprinted golf items this year.

Here is a statistic “… there are approximately 30 million golfers in the United States alone who spend $20 billion each year on golf products and services”, according to Sherry Jacobson, VP of sales & Marketing at Golf Plus. Many of these golfers are finding ways to incorporate golf into their business. Corporate executives are playing more golf and also finding it a great way to do business, make new contacts, and develop industry relations.  Golf tournaments, company outings, industry trade shows, fundraising events are all markets in which golf promo items can be used.

Providing logo golf balls to their clients is a great way for an executive to show his or her appreciation to their client prior to the round of golf.  In addition to the logo golf balls an exec can offer golf promotional products that are economical but have some staying power with the client.  For example, imprinted golf towels, divot tools and tees make great gift ideas from our golf promotion department.
