The Solution

Golf Center, who has already worked with APSIS for five years, decided that they wanted to take the next step by moving to APSIS One – a digital marketing solution that enables marketers to unleash the power of data through the unique combination of a data platform and a suite of intuitive marketing tools. 

Two of the tools included in APSIS One, that Golf Center uses, are the email tool and the website tool

The one focusing on email is a tool where you can launch large-scale campaigns or target specific profiles and also make use of cross-channel data to personalise messages.

The one focusing on website is a tool in which you can capture consent from your website visitors and gather personal data with GDPR-friendly and an easy-to-implement tool for cookie consent and sign up forms – with the goal to turn your unknown visitors into known prospects and paying customers. 

By using them both, Golf Center has seen big improvements within their digital marketing.  

– The migration process was effortless and we were able to take full advantage of the system right from the start, explains Anssi.

With the help of the new solution, Golf Center now sends out both weekly and monthly newsletters, and use the website tool to capture interest and consent.
