Client Overview

Birdies Golf is a newly established indoor golf facility located in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Featuring an 18-hole indoor putting course and state-of-the-art golf simulators, Birdies Golf set out to create a premier entertainment experience for golfers and families alike. However, as a brand-new business, they faced the challenge of building awareness, attracting customers, and generating online bookings without any existing web presence.

The Challenge

As a startup in a competitive market, Birdies Golf needed more than just a website; they required a strategic digital approach that would establish credibility, capture leads before opening, and drive immediate revenue upon launch. The primary goals included:

• Developing a professional, user-friendly website that clearly communicated their offerings

• Generating interest and capturing leads before the facility opened

• Creating a seamless online booking system to simplify the reservation process

• Integrating marketing tools to automate customer engagement and retention

• Ensuring the website could evolve with the business through ongoing updates and optimizations

• Since their business model relied heavily on online reservations for their golf simulators, it was critical that the website was not only visually appealing but also highly functional, optimized for conversions, and designed to scale with the business.

Our Solution

Summit Web Group approached this project in three key phases to ensure Birdies Golf had a strong foundation for success.

Phase 1: Pre-Launch Lead Generation

Before launching the full website, we developed a temporary landing page designed to capture interest and build an email list of potential customers. This lead-generation page highlighted Birdies Golf’s unique offerings, featured a simple but compelling call to action, and encouraged visitors to sign up for exclusive promotions and early access to bookings.

To maximize visibility, we ensured the page was optimized for search engines, integrated with social media marketing efforts, and designed for a seamless mobile experience. This early digital presence helped Birdies Golf start engaging with potential customers before the business was operational.

The pre-launch website was a major success, generating over 300 qualified leads. This provided Birdies Golf with a valuable audience to market to upon launch, ensuring they had a strong customer base from day one.

Phase 2: Full Website Development and Booking System Integration

Once Birdies Golf was ready to open, we launched a fully developed, professionally designed website tailored to their specific needs. The website was built with a clean, modern design that emphasized ease of navigation, clear messaging, and high-quality visuals to showcase the facility.

A key component of the website was the integration of an intuitive online booking system. Customers could easily view available time slots, select their preferred simulator, and complete their reservations seamlessly. The system was designed to handle multiple bookings efficiently while providing a frictionless user experience.

Beyond the booking functionality, we integrated automated marketing tools to streamline email communication, send booking confirmations and reminders, and engage with customers after their visits. These automations helped Birdies Golf maintain strong customer relationships with minimal manual effort.

Phase 3: Post-Launch Optimization, Marketing, and Ongoing Support

After the website launch, we continued to monitor and optimize performance to ensure maximum effectiveness. By tracking analytics, we were able to refine the user experience, enhance conversion rates, and make data-driven adjustments to improve the booking flow.

As a Website Membership client, Birdies Golf benefits from unlimited updates and ongoing support, ensuring their website remains optimized as their business grows. Whether they need content updates, new features, or technical assistance, our team provides continuous improvements to keep their online presence performing at its best.

The integration of email marketing allowed Birdies Golf to stay connected with the 300+ leads collected before launch. Automated follow-ups, special promotions, and customer retention campaigns helped turn these leads into paying customers. The seamless digital experience also encouraged repeat bookings, further increasing revenue.

The Results

The impact of this digital strategy was immediate and significant. In the first month alone, the website generated over 200 paid bookings, demonstrating the effectiveness of the lead-generation efforts, booking system, and marketing automation.

The website’s intuitive design and clear calls to action contributed to a high conversion rate, with a significant percentage of visitors completing bookings directly through the site. The automated marketing system helped Birdies Golf stay engaged with customers, reducing the need for manual outreach while improving retention and repeat business.

With ongoing support and unlimited updates through their Website Membership, Birdies Golf has a scalable digital foundation that can evolve alongside their business. As they expand their offerings, introduce new promotions, or refine their marketing strategies, their website remains fully adaptable to their needs.

Conclusion

By taking a strategic and phased approach, Summit Web Group helped Birdies Golf successfully establish an online presence, generate pre-launch excitement, and drive significant revenue in the first month of operation. The combination of a well-designed website, an optimized booking system, and automated marketing tools provided a complete digital solution that continues to support their business growth.
