Golf Club Media (GC Media) have created a solution to challenge all clubs face: how to keep noticeboards up to date! GC Media’s solution is a 60” (152cm) interactive touchscreens (pictured) with cloud-based software, to streamline all important information for your members. All key club areas have their own sub sections populated with the latest information…with all information is ‘two touches away’ maximum.
GM’s can now use the cloud-based software to keep noticeboards always live, allowing members on site to interact with up to date information.
GC media has been formed by Ben Phillips and Phil Grice and supported and backed up by their technical partner Philips. Both Ben and Phil have a wealth of industry knowledge with Ben through GD Scoring, delivering one of the industries leading digital scoring solutions and Phil through GTM being renowned for his innovation and transition management over a sustained period.
Ben said, “We are good friends and always talk ‘solutions’ when we get together. Our aim was to allow those GM’s and venues who want to be progressive to use a product that is so simple for them and their members to use. I know from the response of those clubs who have said ‘Yes’ without hesitation we have achieved our aim.”
“The software goes one further than interactive display, it also works as a key marketing portal for the club if you want it to,” Ben continues. “With all the sub sections you would expect at a club there is the usual “what’s on” page, however once you’ve chosen the specific event you are interested in the ability to embed/use a QR code gives the member to scan and retain the information and or book from the code. Phil said “allowing members to select the information they want makes us different to the other ‘PowerPoint’ style solutions. Control of what you see sits with the end user. Also, the ability to download that information via QR code is important. Event details, important notices or key dates can be scanned and saved…we know from first-hand member feedback this is going to be really handy for them.
“Our research told us we have two principal stakeholders: Firstly, GMs have told us, old world notice boards are unsightly and “the bane of their lives to keep up to date”…so ensuring the software was easy to use and purpose built to fit their needs, was imperative. Secondly club members now want and expect modern communication platforms…that are clear and uncomplicated to use.”
