WilDi Golf · Hole sponsors

A sign is seen. A sponsor message is tapped, and we can tell you which.

You are already paying for hole 7. The difference is that the golfer standing on hole 7 gets your sponsor message on their phone, with a button that calls you, opens your site or navigates to your door, while they are still on the course.

The sponsor message, and the button on it

Your sponsor message carries your business name, one headline special, a short message and a single button. The message is capped deliberately short, because a golfer reads it standing on a tee box, not at a desk.

  • Call ahead dials you, which is the one that matters for a kitchen.
  • Visit site opens your page.
  • Directions opens directions to your address.

A hole’s sponsor message can also carry the button that summons the refreshment cart, which is how the turn and the beverage sponsor end up on the same screen.

A sponsor message on the hole screen: the heading Sponsored this hole, the business name, the message text, a highlighted headline special and a Call ahead button.

The report

Five numbers, all of them counts.

After the event the organizer sends you a page and a CSV with your own lines on it. There are no rates and no percentages anywhere on it, because a rate hides how small the denominator was.

Sponsor message delivered

One row per attendee the sponsor message was delivered to. A given golfer receives your sponsor message once.

Sponsor message opened

The message itself was opened on the device. A banner appearing on a lock screen is not an open, and we do not call it one.

Still there a minute later

The phone was confirmed on your hole sixty seconds after the sponsor message arrived. Presence, not attention.

Tapped the button

Broken out by call, website, email and directions, plus the golfer tapping to say they are going.

Turned up at your address

A phone that received your sponsor message was later detected in the map cell your street address geocodes to. A later visit is a separate observation, not proof the message caused it.

The visit line is the one no sign, banner or radio spot can produce. It also depends entirely on your street address resolving to a location, which is why the console warns the organizer at setup when it does not.

Getting your sponsor message in

Today it goes through the organizer.

The organizer enters your business and address on your hole, then writes your sponsor message. They can preview exactly what the golfer will see before anything goes live, so the version you approve is the version that ships. In practice you send them a headline, a sentence and which button you want, and they read it back to you.

Your report comes from the organizer. Their dashboard on WilDi Maps holds every hole, every sponsor and the delivery log for the event, and the report can be filtered to your hole and downloaded as a CSV. Ask them for it after the horn, or ask us and we will make sure it reaches you.

Running the tournament rather than sponsoring one?

The organizer side is three inputs before the day and a report afterwards.
