3 Ways Golf Carts Are Good For Business in South Carolina

U.S. News recently reported on the growth in golf cart sales in South Carolina, particularly in the Upstate. Overall, golf cart sales for 2016 were nearly double that of 2015, and things are looking bright for 2017, too!

With large companies continuing to move into our beautiful state and many new residents coming to retire, start a family, or search for their ideal career, there are lots of opportunities for starting a new business or finding your perfect job here in S.C.

One thing that business owners and corporations are finding to be an essential purchase is golf carts! A golf cart can play an integral role in a large business’s operations. Here’s why golf carts are good for business:

1. Move Throughout Large Workspaces Faster

Large companies with sprawling headquarters often find themselves in huge corporate parks with a lot of distance between departments. Members of the accounting department heading to a meeting with executives might have to walk a half-mile or more. While this is good for exercise, it can be a serious time waster (not to mention, it’s uncomfortable in South Carolina’s summer heat!).

Using a golf cart like the E-Z-Go Express L6 Electric can transport employees more quickly, cutting down on wasted time and upping overall productivity. 

Golf carts can change the game even inside large manufacturing facilities where traditional carts might not fit in. Cushman’s Titan XD, with two- or four-passenger capacity options, not only shuttles employees around large warehouses or manufacturing facilities, but it also tows heavy loads, helping employees multi-task more effectively.

Productivity is a cornerstone of business growth. Cutting down on wasted time spent getting to your destination, and more time getting things done, will help your South Carolina business grow.

2. Take Care of Tough Jobs Outdoors

Many people use the Textron Off Road (formerly Bad Boy) Stampede and other ATVs only for exploring ATV-friendly parks or going hunting. But ATVS are useful for so much more than that!

Many golf carts aren’t designed just for the golf course, pavement, or level ground. Golf carts and ATVs easily traverse uneven terrain, making them perfect for farmers, ranchers, and other members of the agricultural industry!

Haul feed for livestock in the Recoil 4×4 Electric’s cargo bed (or customize to add a larger cargo space if needed), and the engine is quiet enough not to spook the animals. Just be sure, if using a golf cart or ATV on your farm involves driving on or crossing paved roads, that you’re following the Golf Cart Rules of the Road to stay street-legal!

3. Create New Opportunities at Corporate Retreats

With the continuing business growth and increased interest in moving corporate locations into our state, we’re also seeing renewed interest in corporate retreats in South Carolina!

A corporate retreat by the beach, close to our state capitol, or near the Blue Ridge can help your company’s team bond while introducing you to everything South Carolina has to offer a business that’s looking to relocate or get started in the Palmetto State.

Garrett’s offers golf cart rentals for corporate retreats, and we’re even available to deliver the golf carts within a certain distance of each of our three locations, giving you plenty of options! Golf carts are a great aid during corporate retreats as they help team members get to know each other, simplify transportation for employees with mobility issues, and make the entire event more enjoyable for everyone.
