The Power of the Written Word

Many say that the written word is 10 times more powerful and lasting than a paid ad.

Some of the best things in life are free, right? Well, while PR may not be totally free, it is certainly one of the most cost-effective ways to promote your business. A well-placed article in a respected golf publication, a guest appearance on a golf radio or television broadcast or a video appearing on the internet can create incredible awareness and generate revenue well beyond any costs incurred.

IGM’s PR team has enjoyed great success over the years, primarily due to the strong relationships built with the golf and golf travel media.  When we submit content and releases, they get noticed.
