Escape The Rat Race And Start Your Own Ultrasonic Golf Club Cleaning Business
For many people the impact of the recession has had a silver lining
, an increasing number of those made redundant are investing their pay-offs in lifestyle businesses that combine their hobby with making a good income, such as golf businesses. A popular option is to operate an ultrasonic golf club cleaner, giving the freedom of flexible working and an enjoyable way of making money. A modest investment in an ultrasonic golf club cleaning machine has changed the lives of many who have gone down this route.Ultrasonic golf machines are a relatively new phenomenon that is quickly increasing in popularity as more people get to see the results. More and more golf clubs are keen to offer this service to their members and guests, but don't have the business case to purchase an ultrasonic golf club cleaning machine outright for their club. This is where owner/operators come in.
For the cost of an ultrasonic club cleaner, a few leaflets, and the time and energy to make the most of their existing golf contacts, these entrepreneurs are finding that they can make a good living from doing something that they enjoy.
Self-employed operators of ultrasonic golf businesses contact golf clubs in their area and arrange to visit either on a fixed number or days per month, or on an ad-hoc basis as required. They then attend the golf club or driving range and offer their service to the members and guests. The typical charge to clean a full set of clubs is four or five pounds sterling and this can be completed in as little as 3 minutes. Feedback from golfers is overwhelmingly positive and they will often comment that they have played better as a result of having clean clubs, it also saves them an irritating job! The operator of the machine will pay either a fixed fee per day, or a percentage of the day's takings to the club owner.
Overheads are very low after the initial investment in an ultrasonic golf club cleaning machine. The only ongoing costs are around sales and marketing, transporting the machine from site to site, and for a suitable cleaning solution (although this only works out to around 10p per cleaning cycle). To set the machine up requires a source of water and a power outlet. The rest is down to having picked a location with good customer traffic, and of course the personality and ability of the machine's owner!
There are also opportunities to permanently site a machine with a golf club or driving range either on a lease or revenue share basis. Some clubs will offer ultrasonic golf club cleaning as a "free" service to their members and simply increase the green fees or membership by a small amount to cover the expense. Others will offer the machines on a self-service or valet basis.
An additional revenue stream can come from Captain's Days and corporate golf days. Machine operators will often attend a club for one of these events and strike a deal with the club owner for a fixed price for the day, usually around two-hundred pounds. For that fee the machine operator will offer a club clean to all participating players. This is a great way to get extra business through word of mouth as more and more golfers experience the difference and convenience of having their clubs and grips returned to a near-new finish in a matter of a few minutes.
Operating an ultrasonic golf club cleaner gives a great balance between flexibility, enjoyment, and the chance to build a successful business. In the UK alone there are over 5000 golf courses and driving ranges - and since not many of them have one of these machines yet, the opportunity is huge. If you are thinking of changing the direction of your career and have an interest in golf then you should have a look at the various options offered by this new and exciting lifestyle business.
