The Benefits of Early Bird Registration for the Golf Show
REDUCED COST
Early Bird pricing guarantees your facility or company the most cost-effective entry to exhibit at the PGA of Alberta Golf Show.
INCREASED BRAND EXPOSURE
The early bird registration creates a partnership opportunity that allows the PGA of Alberta to better profile your facility or company at the SHOW, increase visibility and engagement with Alberta’s golf enthusiasts, and, ultimately, drive sales. We look forward to pairing up with your brand in our quest to deliver the best PGA of Alberta Golf Show ever.
ENHANCED REPUTATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
When you register for the Early Bird Rate and make a prize donation to the SHOW, you’re also supporting one of the PGA of Alberta’s strategic priorities of the SHOW to give back to the community.
All proceeds from purchased door prize entries and tickets to the Short Game Showdown activities, along with the Long Drive Competition, will be donated to Kids Cancer Care – the designated charity partner for the PGA of Alberta Golf Show.
INCREASED SALES
We all must invest to deliver greater results.
People often associate positive experiences and giveaways with quality. If your prize is well-received, recipients will be more inclined to visit your facility, try your products or services, and ultimately make a purchase.
