Frocket Ensures Perfect Apparel Sizes For Corporate Golf Outings Guests

The Masters Tournament has concluded, and the PGA Championship, the second of the four major golf tournaments, begins today. This time of year often sees warm weather and corporate golf outings. Depending on the budget, these events can range from simple outings to elaborate, day-long affairs. A common feature of all corporate golf tournaments is the check-in table.

At these tables, company representatives typically armed with clipboards and printed pages of invited guest names hand out swag bags and assign starting holes. They also ask for guests' shirt sizes, hoping they have the correct size remaining from their stock of pre-ordered shirts. However, issues arise when companies fail to order women's sizes, especially if a significant guest happens to be a woman.

Frocket is a new web-based solution designed to streamline the collection of apparel sizes from an unlimited number of guests. It includes options for men's, men's tall, and women's sizes. Users can create and send customized emails to their guests, track responses, and quickly generate a master spreadsheet of all the shirt sizes needed.

Frocket also informs guests if the intended polo fits big or small. If guests respond to the initial email request, they are not emailed again. For those who delay in selecting their apparel size, Frocket sends gentle email reminders until the pre-selected cut-off date for replies.

The generated spreadsheet can be automatically sent to the apparel vendor of choice for logo embroidery. Frocket saves both time and money by simplifying event setup and reducing textile waste from unwanted sizes. Setting up an event in Frocket takes just minutes, including uploading the list of invited guests' names.

With some apparel brands costing over $100 per polo, unwanted sizes significantly add to event costs and textile waste. Frocket's solution also provides a seamless check-in tool, eliminating paper lists, highlighters, and clipboards.

Additional Features

Frocket can also be used to determine guests' lunch preferences, whether turkey, roast beef, or vegetarian. The service charges just 20 cents or less per guest with no subscription fee. For a standard 72-person golf outing, this amounts to just $14.40—a fraction of the cost of unwanted embroidered polos.

By using Frocket, companies can ensure a more efficient and cost-effective approach to managing corporate golf outings while reducing waste and improving guest satisfaction.
