Now a leading provider of outdoor and indoor golf enclosure and simulator experiences, Golf Bays UK began its journey when Rob, its golf-loving founder, looked for ways to beat the elements.
Frustrated by the number of lessons ruined by rain and windy weather, Rob turned his attention to finding a solution: the design and manufacture of customised golf enclosures for indoor and outdoor use.
Today, the company’s mainstay products are its superb range of robust, easy-to-assemble, conveniently sized, steel frame canvas enclosures. Its simulator bundles are internationally acclaimed, and in a few short years, Golf Bays UK has grown exponentially.
As its product range expanded, the business looked at ways to increase conversion rates through point of sale finance. It had already partnered with PayPal, but was looking for a provider who could service its higher-ticket items (up to £30,000).
Zopa’s retail finance solution, DivideBuy, offered a comprehensive suite of finance tools. Its interest free and interest bearing credit options from 3-60 months let customers access Golf Bay UK’s impressive range of products more affordably. The finance provider also had a track record of delivering high approval rates and increasing sales – making it the ideal partner for a rapidly-growing business.
Golf Bays UK added Zopa’s finance solution to its checkout payment options. Thanks to a sub-2-minute customer journey and conversion-boosting tools like DivideBuy’s Eligibility Checker, it didn’t take long for the business to see results.
With approval rates up to 88% on order values of £3,000 or more, the finance offering gave customers a quick, simple way to spread the cost on Golf Bay UK’s products. The business also saw a sharp uptick in sales, achieving 422% of its revenue target for 2024 by April alone.
