Successful yield management is more likely to involve target marketing of a specific player group than a broad customer base.

Yield management focuses on optimizing revenue by understanding and responding to customer demand, which often requires detailed segmentation of the customer base. By targeting specific player groups, golf operations can tailor their offerings, pricing, and promotions to meet the unique needs and preferences of that segment. This targeted marketing approach allows for more efficient allocation of resources and can lead to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.

In contrast, a broad customer base approach may not adequately address the varying demands and behaviors of different player groups, potentially leading to missed opportunities for maximizing profitability. A nuanced understanding of specific player demographics enables golf facilities to create personalized experiences, driving engagement and encouraging repeat play, which is a cornerstone of successful yield management.
