Business Story

Why this business was started

I wanted to get involved in affiliate marketing and I needed a product line that I understood and could make decisions about how and why to sell products that the golfing public would buy and be happy with. Golf stores are not as plentiful in California as they once were, but the game has increased in popularity since the late nineties when Tiger Woods came on the scene. This was my main motivation last year.

The reason of selling this business

Mainly due to some personal medical issues that prevented me from sitting at the computer for extended periods. I didn't mind this kind of work until my legs started to develop some problems due to diabetes.

What's involved in running this business

Adding new products from different sources such as AliExpress, Amazon and Ebay. Pricing of the products and maintaining Ad campaigns is very important, along with using Facebook or Instagram to promote the store by commenting on golf posts. Working with affiliate marketing experts helped to organize my ideas and make progress faster.

Seller‘s Advice

How to grow this business

More clubs and carry bags are needed because all of the serious golfers that I played with were always wanting new clubs and bags. Advise on the game was a big seller in terms of videos, books, tapes from well known teachers and players.

Skills to have

Obviously, being a player or a golf coach would be very useful in running this business, but anyone with a serious interest in the game such as spectators and fans would do well. The ability to use Facebook and Instagram to make comments and post them about the store is essential.
