Fundraising with Golf Tournament Gifts



Having a golf outing to benefit a charity or other noble cause is a great way to raise money. Lots of tournament directors will sell sponsorships for tee signs, the beverage cart, hole in one contest, and will get items donated for a silent and/or live auction. However, there is one aspect of the outing that gets overlooked as a way to raise money....the custom printed Tee Gift! Sponsors should jump at the chance to get their logo/brand on the 1 item that every player will take home with them.
Depending on what the item is, you could sell 2 spots all the way up to at least 8 additional spots. The more spots that are sold, there is a good chance the gift will be totally paid for, costing you nothing out of pocket!

This year, if you are Chairing or Co-Chairing a golf tournament to raise money,  we want to help you. To give you a few ideas, here are some of the golf tournament gifts that we would suggest:

   
http://www.fairwaygiftshop.com/golf-kits.html
Item XOHAJ-IBLEO
Golf Kits
Most of our golf kits will allow separate sponsor logo's on each of the items in them. In this example, sell the spots on the cooler, can koozie, tees, divot tool, and golf balls. Then as an added bonus, all the sponsors can be featured on the golf towel.

   


Scramble Pic
Is your event a scramble (best ball) format? Even if it isn't, this is one handy tool to give every player. The scramble pic allows players to retrieve their ball without getting out of the cart. Eliminate the hassle of bending over to get your ball (geez, that sounds really lazy). Plus, we can fit up to 8 logos (in full color - no extra charge) on the Scramble Pic, making it a huge profit center. Item# VFAUF-IETNA. See it action below!

   
Full Color Golf Towel
full color golf towel
Item DGFUK-JAIXJ
Golf towels come in all sizes, weights, and colors. But there is one that stands out above the rest - the NYX Golf Towel. Front microfiber is safe for glasses and cell phones. The reverse, sheared terrycloth side cleans golf clubs and golf balls. Grommet and carabineer may be placed anywhere. Standard terry color is a steel gray which doesn't show much dirt. This towel can easily feature up to 8 logos.....plus yours.

We hope that you found this email of value. Remember, these 3 items are just some of the many options we have available. We look forward to hearing from you soon.Visit us at http://www.fairwaygiftshop.com

How to Order Custom Golf Towels

Despite the Arctic Vortex blasting throughout the United States recently, many warm and sunny days are coming when golf courses once again will teem with golfers.  In the next month leading up to the first Spring tournaments is the best time to start planning your golf tournament gifts. By ordering at least one or two months in advance of your tournament date, you give yourself time to order any of the best golf gift options that are custom printed for your tournament.


1.  Fabric: Who knew that there are a thousand different fabrics, all with different fiber content, thickness, stain resistance, and texture?  Welcome to the world of custom golf towels, where variety helps confuse the first-time buyer.  We'll help you decipher between fabric listings like "1.5 lb/dozen 100% cotton" versus "100% polyester microfiber", and every other material you might see.

2.  Attachments: Hook & grommet, carabiner, webbed nylon strap, quick-release clip, ring & grommet, etc.  Learn what each attachment offers, and which ones are most commonly available on a variety of golf towels.

3.  Decoration:  Embroidery versus screen printing, woven design versus laser engraved, digital imprint versus embroidered applique - truly the decorating options available for golf towels provide a lot of creative room.  Find out which decorating techniques are available on the widest selection of golf towels, and discover how the team members at Keystone Specialties can make your custom design a reality.

4.  Size:  Golf towels come in fingertip mini-styles all the way up to 25" length towels that hang long on the side of a golf bag.  Certain sizes are more popular among golfers because they avoid dragging on the ground when hanging from the golf club bag. Availability of size can vary by the material and decoration method that you select based on the manufacturers' models available. 

Here are a few golf towel styles available in several fabrics, attachment options, and decorating methods to help you select a promotional golf towel for your custom tournament gift:
