Call it a tee gift or call it whatever you want to call it. Promotional golf shirts have been a part of a corporate golf tournament since they were first created! They have almost become expected by the players at many corporate golf events.
As you do not have to spend a lot of money on the promotional golf shirts to make your clients, customers or guests happy, you just need to ask yourself a few easy to answer questions before you start to look at products so you know what your goals are. Here you go:
What type of player do I want to attract to the event?
Are you doing this for a charity, prospective clients or are you doing it to thank clients that have done business with you in the past.
How much can I afford to spend?
Again, this will differ depending on the type of event you will be running. No matter what type or what level of tournament that you are running, it is always smart to create a budget. If you have any, it is important to look at past history of the event to help you with the exact charges.
How will I be distributing these shirts?
You have a couple of options as you can deliver them at the registration table, place them on their golf cars or have one of your employees personally hand them the promotional golf shirt as a classy touch. Keep in mind how these shirts will arrive and will you need labor and time to proper package them prior to distributing them to the players.
What styles do they wear?
Now comes the fun part because you get to go shopping! Keep in mind the average age of the players that you will have and if it is very diverse maybe you select two different styles and allow them to choose.
Will this color look good with my logo?
You would be amazed at how often this is over looked. I am just saying. haha
What quantity of shirts do I want to buy?
Being that it is a corporate outing and still understanding that you have a budget to deal with, you will want to order a few extra promotional golf shirts as you do not want to be caught short and be embarrassed that you cannot offer one to one of the participants.
What sizes do I need to carry?
If you are hosting a small event, then you could ask them on the sign up form or response from the invitation. This will depend on the amount of players in the event so that you can come up with a size run. The average size run will vary depending on the part of the country in which the players are coming from. For example, if you have a tournament where most of the players are form Texas you will need to typically carry larger sizes than if the group is predominately from California.
By asking yourself these few easy to answer questions, you will be able to order the best promotional golf shirts for your company and your event.
