How To Craft A Riveting 30-Second Commercial
Tomorrow or Friday at 8:30 a.m.

You typically have less than 30 seconds to get a person’s attention and establish a reason to engage in conversation. You not only need to be different, but you also need to bring value. The 30-Second Commercial quickly lets people know what you do and how your service may be relevant to their situation or to someone they may know. It clearly establishes why people seek you out, not telling them what you do for them. You may have heard this referred to as your “elevator pitch,” but you’ll find out that it’s used far more frequently outside of an elevator.

The Epson Tour is the official qualifying tour of the LPGA and enters its 43rd season in 2023.

The Tour’s mission is to prepare the world’s best young women professional golfers for a successful career on the LPGA Tour.

The Epson Tour will grow its Northeast swing with the Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship. The inaugural tournament will be held at Great River Golf Club in Milford, Connecticut, with Hartford HealthCare as the title partner. The Connecticut Orthopedic Institute will be onsite during the tournament, providing free health information, news about specialized services, and opportunities to elevate guests’ health — and their game.

“We are proud to welcome the Epson Tour back to Connecticut - the official qualifying tour of the LPGA,” said Karen Goyette, Hartford HealthCare’s Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer. “As a health care leader, and someone who loves the game of golf, I believe in the shared vision of these two organizations that help support young women on their path to excellence. This partnership clearly aligns with our vision and our commitment to investing in our great state of Connecticut.”
