Flyers are a powerful tool for creating captivating marketing materials for your events, leagues, and clinics. With many functions and tools in the designer, it can be very valuable to understand how best to use them.
In this article, we will discuss tools, tips, and shortcuts to become more efficient and productive with the Flyers designer.
Note: This article is intended only to familiarize you with the designer tools. We will direct you to some of the most valuable tools available, but will not go into great detail, as it would be too much to cover.
QR Code:
*Important Note*
Before printing, test your QR codes (Golf Hub or otherwise) to ensure they link to the correct event. If the link is incorrect, edit the flyer to insert a new, functional QR code.
Each flyer includes an option to add a QR Code linked to the event/league Golf Hub Page. If you are using Golf Hub Pages and would like to include the QR Code, you will need to take the following steps to enable the option to use the Golf Hub QR Code generator:
Create and Publish a Golf Hub Page: Once you have created your event/league or within an existing event/league, go to Apps > Create Golf Hub Page. Fill in the details for your Golf Hub Page with a description, schedule of events, sponsor logos, and specific banners. Then save and publish the Page. For complete details on setting up your Golf Hub Page, Click Here.
Enable Golf Hub Registration (Optional): Offer Golf Hub Registration with your event/league. Note: If you are a Golf Genius TM Club Premium user and want to use Premium registration with your Golf Hub Page, Click Here for details.
If you wish to add/update a QR Code to the flyer, follow these directions:
