was the date of our first ever “Golf Carting Magazine Carts & Coffee” event in Charleston, SC, along with Charleston Custom Carts, and it was a smash hit.
The event started at 10am and there were already people walking around, arriving in their golf carts and enjoying a cup of coffee. Charleston Custom Carts had 12 carts on display from Denago EV, Club Car, Sierra and ICON, with a big tent, tables and displays with information from the sponsors which included Denago EV, ECO Battery, ECOXGEAR, Navitas, MODZ, Converted Carts and Electric Warranty Group, who all donated some great products and merchandise for the event. We also gave away a lot of magazines, stickers, hats, and hundreds of drink koozies.
The amazing sales staff, Jennifer and Amanda, from Denago EV worked hard to set up our booth and were key to making the event look top notch. Chandler from ECO Battery was also there and set up their own table with some free swag and information on their products. The team – Matt, Angie, Hank, Craig, and Bill – from Charleston Custom Carts managed all the details that made this inaugural event such a success.
By 11am there were dozens of people and carts lined up and kids running and playing on the lawn. The tropical steel drum music was playing outside Coastal Skillet, where free donuts, coffee and other refreshments were generously donated by the owner, Tracy. Tracy was also a huge help in setting up this event and we are incredibly grateful for her help.
By 1pm, the place was packed, and everyone was having a great time. Many people were taking Denago EV test drives, playing corn hole, enjoying refreshments, and learning about all the new products our sponsors had to offer, all leading up to the main event… The prize raffle was set to take place at 2pm and attendees were excited to see the show and find out if they were one of the lucky winners!
Over 300 people were anxiously awaiting the raffle results, Christian Amico, CEO of GolfCarting Magazine, GolfCarting TV, served as the MC of the event and handled randomly picking the winners of the 6 prize giveaways from the event sponsors. ECOXGEAR donated a sound bar and under-glow LED system, MODZ donated a setup of chrome red wheels and tires, Navitas donated a DC controller, ECO Battery donated a 70v lithium battery and the main prize was from the amazing people at Denago EV who donated a brand-new Nomad XL golf cart!
“We couldn’t have been more pleased with the turnout for our 1st Carts & Coffee”, Christian said. “We plan to have more of these events all over the country to help spread the word about golf carting, help promote our outstanding sponsors and assist dealers with showing how much they appreciate their customers.”
Counting down from the 6th place winner with a randomly generated numbers thanks to Siri, the prizes were flowing, and the crowd was gathered around in excitement cheering on the winners with tons of cheering as we wrapped up the event with the 1st place prize announced by Christian.
Congratulations to all of the winners, and a huge shout out to all of our incredible sponsors, staff and our host who came out to support this fun carting event. Stay tuned for the announcement about our next Carts and Coffee Event!
