need to come up with a catchy phrase and decide what hours to operate?

Question

re-opening mini-golf course from the 60's, very quaint and nostolgic, very low prices, relaxed atmosphere, three generations of customer base, 18 holes, need to pick up buisness, but want to keep it small and simple

Answer 1

We've got balls and also putters

Answer 2

You want to totally exploit the nostalgic aspects and brand yourself accordingly. A catch phrase is of course part of the plan, and we have professional copywriters that could provide that. In the 21st century, however, a website is every bit as relevant to ANY business as being listed in the telephone book. It also allows you the opportunity to create and detail your brand -- your look and what makes you different. A website for instance with a highly artistic and strong nostalgic theme, detailing your history with both old and new photos, and coupled with a chatroom type affair where patrons can communicate with one another off the course, where course reservations can be made online, and where golf buddies can make arrangements to meet would make your physical golf course much more available and user friendly to the busy schedule of the modern day golfer -- a person who usually spends a certain amount of every day in front of his/her computer anyway.

We would very much enjoy developing these ideas with you and our July/August schedule has openings.

You may contact us via email if you're interested ([e-mail]) or just take the advice for free and have a lovely day.

Best Regards,

Sincerely hope this helps!

Answer 3

I am not really sure of the name - definitely a popular name from the 60's. You should have the music from that era playing outside.

You could also sell the following candy: Flying saucers, candy buttons, Atomic Fireballs, Boston baked beans, Bottlecaps, candy cigarettes, candy lipstick, candy necklace, gold mine gum, Good N Plenty, Bit-O-Honey, hot dog bubble gum, Jawbreakers, Lemonheads, Clark bar, Necco Wafers, Pez, Fun Dip, Pixy Stix, Red Hots, Razzles, Ring Pop, Slo-Poke, Smarties, Sugar Daddy sucker, Sweetarts, Tootsie Roll, Twizzler licorice and wax lips.

No one else in your town probably sells that - people would know that when they come to you putt putt golf - they can get something different.

Also offer simple foods like hotdogs, corndogs, lemonade

Hours should be Tue - Sun 10:00am-9:00pm during the summer and then after school goes back - Tue-Fri 5:00pm-9:00pm and then Sat-Sun 10-9

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

I like "retro-golf" or you could find actual old names and resurrect one of those.

As another pointed out.. the name will NOT determine your success or failure... your real challenges are:
- location
- reaching your target market
- building an experience and process that brings 'em back again and again

Hours: that's tactical. You can always change based on demand. I know places that close at 8, and others that are open all night, year round. It all depends on what hours YOU want to work, and your ability to get customers in the door to support your income goals.
