Golf Member Retention
Fixing the Leaky Bucket
According to invespcro.com, it costs as much as five times as much to attract a new customer than to keep the one you’ve already got. Yet many businesses still focus almost exclusively on new customer acquisition.
It’s perhaps understandable why the industry has little in the way of established best-practice or guidance on the crucial subject of golf member retention. It wasn’t that many years ago that clubs didn’t need to pay it any attention - member leavers were simply replaced from those on the waiting list. Yet today, the highly competitive marketplace should put golf member retention high on all clubs’ agendas.
