Golf Etc.

A franchisee is a powerful and effective process that includes the marketing, sale and distribution of products as well as services. Experience of the franchisor and the goodwill of the brand are the vital attributes of a successful franchisee. The franchisor licenses the trademarks and techniques of doing business and performs the distribution of products or services through his associated dealers.

Golf Etc. of America was founded in 1992 as a national golf consulting and construction company, but changed its focus in 1996 to golf retail shops. Their stores provide custom-fitted golf clubs and club repair. Golfers can practice their skills on the stores’ practice putting greens and the indoor hitting and driving area.

Golf Etc. prioritizes vendor and supplier relations. It is important to be the best buyer not just the best seller of products and services. From their strategic alliances with Golfsmith and Golf works, to their relationship to key pro-line brands, they create access to the products. However, they must caution you that your ability to gain accounts with certain name brands will be at the sole discretion of the manufacturer or distributor. Each store must submit applications individually for certain products. It is off course advantageous if you are a part of a national network and in their brand awareness and growth markets hare.
