Golf course superintendents face many tough decisions as they plan for next season. Competition between courses is tough, and reliable labor is difficult to find. Fortunately, early order programs offer substantial benefits that can help you plan ahead and secure the products you’ll need right now. By placing orders early, you can often reduce your input costs, which directly contributes to improved profitability. Securing inputs in advance also guarantees availability, which is especially important for high-demand products.
One example of a beneficial EOP is Nufarm’s Edge Rewards, which officially launched on September 1. The program offers valuable savings across an expansive lineup of both new and proven Nufarm solutions, as well as volume rebates and discounted product bundles. The Edge Rewards program spans two order periods — September 1-October 31 and November 1-December 6 — to provide additional flexibility.
“We’re always looking for ways to create more value for our customers,” said Blaine Pinkerton, vice president, turf and ornamental sales at Nufarm. “That’s why we created the Nufarm Edge Rewards program. It’s a great way for golf courses to get what they need for next year and save money at the same time.”
By taking advantage of Nufarm’s Edge Rewards for golf courses, superintendents can get valuable distributor credit rebates when they purchase a combination of two or more products with a total value of at least $3,000 during one of the two order periods. The program features new products and multiple ways to save:
