Since inception in 2017, Golf Cart Resource has solidified itself as the trusted authority for golf cart consumers. With 15+ years of Golf Car Industry experience, co-founders Chad Hively and Caleb Amundson saw a need to provide reviews, articles, valuation tools, and other resources for the industry in a digital format. IOP Capital, an angel investment firm, noticed the opportunity as well and made an investment in Golf Cart Resource to legitimize their efforts. Marc Raber, head of IOP Capital said, “We know the Golf Car Industry can benefit from digital tools seen in other industries, and we believe Golf Cart Resource is the company to make it a reality.”
With a solid 2 years of growth, Golf Cart Resource is officially deploying cost-effective tools for dealers and OEMs that aims to connect consumers to a reputable dealer.
Why should you work with Golf Cart Resource?
For better or worse, it’s no secret the internet has changed the Golf Car industry. For instance, 3 out of 5 consumers over the age of 45 research online before they make a buying decision. This means half of all golf car consumers researched online what to buy and where to buy prior to making a decision – and online golf car searching trends continue to increase.
Golf Cart Resource is an authority site in the golf car industry and is close to surpassing the total monthly website traffic of Yamaha Golf Cars and E-Z-GO. Chad Hively states, “By October of 2019, we firmly believe our monthly visitors and traffic will exceed E-Z-GO & Yamaha and provide a great avenue for marketing opportunities and data for research.”
Generating Sales for Dealers & OEMs
So, with all this website traffic to Golf Cart Resource, how do they connect them to reputable Golf Car Dealers? With over 40% of traffic looking to buy a golf car, it only makes sense to connect them to the dealer. With Caleb’s professional Golf Car Dealership GM experience, he says, “We have been working with dealer clients for a very long time and have created a simple, cost-effective solution that will increase sales and all around exposure for golf cart dealers in their local market as well as nationwide.”
Through an innovative inventory system designed specifically for Golf Car Dealer websites, a dealer can list vehicles for sale with financing offers (OEM financing updated automatically on a daily basis), special sales, pictures, videos and more. From there, vehicles are then transferred, uploaded and updated every 24 hours to the Golf Cart Resource marketplace for consumers to browse and inquire directly with dealers. Unlimited listings can be added to the Golf Cart Resource marketplace and dealerships also receive advertising space that is displayed to consumers near them who are browsing across the entire Golf Cart Resource website. Here are a few dealer websites with live examples currently utilizing the Golf Cart Resource inventory management system:
Jeffrey Allen Inc: https://inventory.jeffreyalleninc.com
Apache Main Golf Cars: https://apachemaingolfcars.com
Just an Old Cart: https://justanoldcart.net
With over 1,000 vehicles listed, Golf Cart Resource has generated over 150 combined leads via phone calls & emails to 28 dealers nationwide in the month of July.
