AVID MEDIA VENTURES MEDIA KITWe’ve Got You Covered From Tee to Green

Avid Media Ventures has grown in its 20 years from a golf-themed newspaper insert into a media “club champion” with an array of properties that reach men daily. Whether you tee off with AVIDGOLFER Magazine, hit a sweet fairway shot with our yearly golf discount passbook, knock your approach shot stiff on “The Teebox” Radio Show, drop a birdie putt in one of our events, or have a cold one on us at the 19th hole in myavidgolfer.com, you can have confidence that you are playing with the premier men’s lifestyle and golf media name in Dallas/Fort Worth.

AVIDGOLFER MagazineOur flagship product, AVIDGOLFER Magazine, begins its 19th year with a distribution of 45,000 comprised of subscribers, country clubs, daily fee courses, retail stores and doctor’s offices, events and trade shows.

Our editorial is the leader in the clubhouse. Men’s lifestyle editorial features auto, fine dining, travel, golf real estate and health. Golf editorial spotlights golf equipment, golf courses and golf instruction.

Our Cart Girl of the Month monthly feature and our Cart Girl of the Year voting is a perfect combination of men’s lifestyle and golf. It’s like a hot, juicy cheeseburger at the turn.

Men are crazy about golf and Dallas/Fort Worth area golfers are crazy about AVIDGOLFER Magazine (and our cart girls!)

AVIDGOLFER Collector’s EditionEvery year in March, we produce a Collector’s Edition, a 100-page coffee-table publication that showcases our top features from the past 12 months. The Collector’s Edition is distributed to numerous tournament directors and event coordinators so they can place them in their goody bags.

More than 50,000 Collector’s Editions are printed and fully distributed before the end of the year. The publication features the best we had to offer, including our Best of Private and Public write-ups, celebrity profiles, our top cover stories and that year’s Cart Girl of the Months and Cart Girl of the Year.

Your inclusion in the Collector’s Edition is a certain ace.

The TeeboxOne the air since 1994 and currently hosted by Rick Arnett and Craig Rosengarden, the show airs every Saturday morn-ing from 8-10 a.m. Rather than delivering your typical mind-numbing country club blather, “The Teebox” brings a “com-mon man’s” perspective to the popular pastime. Sure, it cov-ers the golf leaderboards, the latest equipment news, course reviews and interviews from the game’s top names. But it also delivers unique views on what the game sorely needs to be – more player and fan friendly.

Sponsorship opportunities include recorded and live reads and on-site remotes.

iDealGolfer.comThe deal is on! If you’re a golf course operator, you can reach 44,000 potential customers by partnering with us to offer a deal on iDealGolfer.com. Remember, these purchas-ers often bring three full green fee paying buddies with them when they redeem their coupons.

Finally, you as the operator, get pur-chaser email addresses for future marketing as well as your split within two weeks. Partnering with idealgolfer.com is like holing out from the fairway.

Sponsorships, Tournaments & EventsIncrease exposure for your business by sponsoring spe-cial AVIDGOLFER events throughout the year, including AG golf tournaments, Best of Private Clubs and Public Course parties, spirit pouring outings and other events. We can also put our heads together with you to design the ultimate event showcasing your business. Be the leader in the club-house with an AVIDGOLFER sponsorship or event.
