Even in the summer months, there’s no promise conditions will be sunny and still enough for a game of golf. Mini Indoor Golf came up with a solution. Golf enthusiasts can stay indoors to go through all the same motions of golf – sans the actual physical activity – with Mini Indoor Golf’s handheld game.
But no one can really know how fun the game is, unless they know it exists. Which is when (amp) was introduced to the Indianapolis-based company to increase product awareness and help drive conversions.
Rainy Days Don’t Ruin The Game
The game was fun. And people were interested. But Mini Indoor Golf wanted to get eyes from their already populated social channels to their website, especially during the holiday season.
(amp) developed strategies to get people clicking through social media channels and through influencer pages to their e-commerce page.
In the initial partnership, we pushed videos on to their social channels, and the engagement started swinging in the comments section.

Based on the success from the initial partnership, Mini Indoor Golf asked us to partner with them again for the holiday season.
Golf Game Influencers
