Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room. - Jeff Bezos
Custom pulpboard coasters are cost-effective marketing tools that keep your golf course visible in clubhouse bars, restaurants, and pro shops year-round. Promotional products support referral programs, corporate outing packages, seasonal campaigns, and loyalty rewards. Bulk ordering reduces cost across tournament giveaways, welcome kits, and sponsor packages while creating additional pro shop revenue.
Filling tee times and growing membership requires more than a well-maintained course. Golf courses compete for attention year-round, and the most effective marketing programs combine digital outreach, experiential moments, and physical promotional products that golfers actually keep and use.
Custom pulpboard coasters sit at the center of this strategy. They protect surfaces in your clubhouse bar and restaurant, display your course branding at every table, and travel home with golfers where they continue working as marketing tools long after the round ends. At bulk pricing, coasters deliver reliable brand visibility at a cost that fits most marketing budgets.
What you will learn:
Production reality note: All printed items discussed below assume CMYK process on genuine pulpboard, proof approval before press, and quantities planned in advance to meet campaign deadlines.
Golf courses that rely solely on digital advertising miss consistent touchpoints with their most valuable audience. Physical items create impressions that persist well beyond a single scroll or click.
According to ASI research, 85% of consumers recall the advertiser on a promotional product. That recall rate outperforms most digital channels. A coaster on a member's home bar generates repeated impressions every day, at no additional cost after the initial order.
The key is selecting items that golfers actually use. Branded merchandise that earns a permanent spot in daily routines, whether at home or at the club, delivers ongoing value that a single digital ad cannot replicate.
The 19th hole is one of the most reliable marketing touchpoints a golf course owns. Golfers linger after rounds, socialize over drinks, and return with guests. Every drink served on a branded coaster reinforces your course identity in a relaxed, receptive setting.
Custom pulpboard coasters protect wood bar tops and tables while displaying your logo, course imagery, or seasonal messaging. Change designs quarterly to keep the experience fresh without significant cost increases.
Coasters sold or given away through the pro shop extend your brand into golfers' homes. A four-pack of course-branded coasters retails well as an impulse purchase alongside other branded merchandise. Bulk ordering keeps unit costs low enough to support both retail pricing and giveaway programs simultaneously.
Coaster Factory bulk coasters are produced on genuine European pulpboard with full-color CMYK printing, making them a consistent, production-ready option for pro shop inventory.
The window after a round is one of the highest-engagement moments in the golfer's experience. Players are relaxed, social, and receptive. Placing branded coasters at every post-round gathering point, whether the bar, dining room, or outdoor patio, keeps your course identity present during conversations that often lead to return bookings and referrals.
Referrals from existing members are among the most cost-effective membership acquisition tools available. Branded merchandise reinforces the program and rewards participants at every stage.
Structure your referral program around tangible incentives. Referring members might receive an exclusive coaster set or branded drinkware package when their referral joins. New members receive a welcome kit that includes coasters, reinforcing the connection between their decision to join and the course's attention to detail.
Consistent gifting across the referral process builds goodwill on both sides and encourages repeat referrals over time.
Corporate golf outings represent a reliable revenue stream for courses with strong business community ties. Branded merchandise elevates the perceived value of these packages and gives corporate clients something to bring back to their offices.
Include custom coasters in every corporate outing package. Design options might feature the client company's logo alongside the course logo for a co-branded result that appeals to both the organizer and attendees. These co-branded items often end up in offices and conference rooms, extending visibility to audiences well beyond the outing itself.
Seasonal promotions give golf courses a consistent reason to reach out to members and past visitors throughout the year. Promotional products tie these campaigns together across digital and physical channels.
Spring campaigns might introduce new coaster designs alongside early-season membership renewal offers. Summer promotions could bundle coaster sets with beverage packages or twilight round discounts. Fall and holiday campaigns work well with limited-edition designs that create collectible appeal.
Coordinating physical merchandise with email campaigns and social media posts creates a cohesive experience that reinforces each touchpoint. A member who receives a seasonal coaster set in the mail and then sees the same design in a promotional email is more likely to engage with both.
Long-term members represent the most stable revenue base a golf course has. A structured loyalty program that recognizes tenure and engagement keeps these members active and reinforces their connection to the course.
Tiered coaster designs work particularly well as loyalty rewards. One-year members might receive a standard course design. Five-year members earn an exclusive design unavailable through any other channel. Ten-year veterans receive a distinctive set that signals their status within the community.
This collectible approach encourages long-term membership thinking and gives members a tangible representation of their loyalty that they display at home.
Tournaments generate high engagement and create natural gifting moments. Every participant expects a takeaway, and coasters deliver practical value at a price point that fits tournament budgets when ordered in bulk.
Print sponsor logos and tournament dates on commemorative coaster designs. These mementos hold value beyond the event, particularly when the design is exclusive to that tournament. Participants often display them in home bars or offices, extending sponsor visibility for months after the event concludes.
Plan coaster quantities at 10 to 20 percent above confirmed registration to account for spectators, sponsors, and last-minute additions.
The first impression a new member has of your course sets the tone for their long-term engagement. A well-curated welcome kit that includes branded coasters signals that the course values quality and attention to detail.
Pair coasters with a personalized note from club leadership, a course map or scorecard, and any relevant membership information. The physical weight and quality of the kit communicate organizational standards before the member has played a single round.
Bulk ordering welcome kit components in advance reduces per-unit cost and ensures consistent quality across every new member onboarding experience.
Sponsors invest in golf courses and tournaments because they expect visibility and recognition. Branded merchandise that acknowledges their support strengthens relationships and encourages renewal.
Custom coaster sets featuring sponsor logos alongside course branding make thoughtful appreciation gifts. Present them at post-tournament dinners or mail them as part of a season-end recognition package. Sponsors who receive quality branded merchandise are more likely to view the relationship as a genuine partnership.
Branded coasters function as natural photo props in golfer social media posts. A drink on a course-branded coaster at the 19th hole is exactly the kind of authentic content that performs well across platforms.
Encourage this behavior by printing event-specific hashtags on coasters during tournaments or special events. Position coasters prominently at photo-friendly locations near the bar or on outdoor tables. When members share these images, they extend your course's reach to their networks at no additional marketing cost.
Run periodic contests that invite members to share coaster photos with a specific hashtag for a chance to win pro shop credit or complimentary rounds. These campaigns generate organic content while reinforcing brand identity.
Promotional products give email campaigns a physical dimension that improves engagement. A seasonal campaign email that promises a branded coaster set to the first 100 members who book a round creates urgency while delivering tangible value.
Use coaster giveaways as incentives for email list growth, referral completions, or survey participation. These programs build your marketing database while rewarding the behaviors that support course growth.
The most effective promotional products are those golfers choose to display rather than store. Course-branded coasters earn this status when the design is distinctive and the quality is consistent.
Invest in designs that reflect the character of your course. Aerial views of signature holes, local landmark illustrations, and anniversary commemorations all produce coasters that golfers keep and show to guests. Each display moment in a member's home is an unpaid endorsement of your course to everyone who sees it.
Promotional merchandise does not have to be a pure cost center. Well-designed coasters priced appropriately in the pro shop generate revenue while extending brand reach.
Four-pack coaster sets retail well as impulse purchases alongside golf balls, gloves, and accessories. Seasonal and limited-edition designs create reasons for repeat purchases from the same members throughout the year. Tournament-specific designs add collectible appeal that drives sales during peak events.
Ordering in bulk through Coaster Factory keeps unit costs low enough to support retail margins while maintaining the print quality that justifies the price point.
CMYK process printing allows full-color designs that reproduce course imagery, logos, and sponsor branding accurately. Spot colors require separate quoting and extended lead times. Most courses find four-color process sufficient for all standard marketing and merchandise applications.
Proof approval is required before press. Expect one digital proof for layout review and one physical proof for color-critical artwork. Build proof review time into all campaign schedules to avoid production delays.
Standard turnaround guidance assumes as soon as 2 weeks after proof approval. Plan seasonal and tournament orders at least one quarter in advance to allow for revisions and shipping time.
Confirm campaign dates, distribution points, and estimated quantities before submitting artwork. Add a 10 to 20 percent buffer above expected need for each program.
Submit artwork as vector files in CMYK color space with 1/8-inch bleed on all sides. Review proofs carefully for logo accuracy, color consistency, and text legibility before approving production.
Coordinate coaster delivery schedules with event calendars, welcome kit assembly timelines, and pro shop restocking cycles. Receiving inventory two weeks ahead of need provides adequate staging time and buffer for any shipping delays.
Golf course marketing works best when digital, experiential, and physical strategies reinforce each other. Custom pulpboard coasters are cost-effective tools that connect these channels, keeping your course visible in clubhouse settings, member homes, corporate offices, and social media feeds year-round.
From tournament giveaways and welcome kits to pro shop merchandise and loyalty rewards, bulk coaster programs support the full range of marketing initiatives that drive tee time bookings and membership growth.
