The “new normal” • Industry-wide cool down following the bursting of the firearms bubble. • More participants buying less in the future. • Our fans buck the trend. They are hunting more often, bringing more newcomers to the sport, and spending more money than ever. They might be worth a bit of your effort – and budget. • New participants have no brand loyalty. • Competitors are scrambling to maintain their market share and poach yours. • More cluttered media marketplace. If your business is not growing at the rate you’d like, it might be due to the limitations of your current advertising media. Is it time to re-evaluate your advertising? Enhance, improve, increase, restructure? Consider the power of the upland world’s most authoritative voice • Your gateway to 6.5 million bird hunters owning 14 million dogs • For 23 years, we’ve engaged sportsmen, coming to understand their passion, their tastes, their mindset and their needs. We’ve also learned a lot about the marketplace, how to support your marketing goals and communicate your message. • Our journalism, ad & p.r. agency leadership experience informs every strategy we recommend. • We’ve helped boost brand awareness, retail activation and online sales. We use social media and grass-roots strategies to leverage your media investment and move the sales needle, rather than trolling for more “Likes.” • We know what fans want from a show and their hunting experience because we ask them … in viewer surveys, industry research, online and social media interaction, and at grassroots events. We know what their priorities are, what their turn-offs are, what’s important to them. • We strike resonant chords because we share their passion. • We fuel much of the market’s growth: last year, a million newcomer trips were initiated by our viewers.
