Guidefitter Adds Brand Partners and Opens 'the Grid'

Browning, Leica, KUIU, Moultrie, Summit, Outdoor Edge, Ramcat and Orion Coolers are among fourteen new partners joining Kenetrek, Zeiss, Badlands and others as Guidefitter expands its brand partner network and brings more benefits to the outfitting industry

THE GREAT AMERICAN OUTDOOR SHOW, HARRISBURG, Pa. (Feb. 09, 2016) – Guidefitter, the online network for guided hunting and fishing adventures, today at The Great American Outdoor Show announced it has added fourteen additional brands to "the Grid," a unique influencer marketing service for outdoor gear manufacturers. Also starting today, the Grid is generally available to verified guides and outfitters who are members of the Guidefitter network.

On January 19, the company introduced the Grid at SHOT Show, along with early Grid partners, including Kenetrek, Zeiss Sport Optics, Badlands, Kryptek, Delorme, Seek Outside, and others. Today, Guidefitter announced fourteen additional brands plugging into the Grid, including Browning, Leica, KUIU, Moultrie, Summit, Outdoor Edge, Ramcat, Orion Coolers, LifeStraw, OxRack, Knight & Hale, Code Blue, IWOM Outerwear and Stealth Pod X.

"The response from gear manufactures for the Grid has been strong," said Bryan Koontz, founder and CEO of Guidefitter. "We're excited about today's announcement and expect to continue adding more brand partners weekly, providing our guide and outfitter members with even more choices for buying great gear at significant savings."

The Grid is a specialty web marketing solution enabling manufacturers to more easily reach a large network of guides and outfitters who are actively engaged in the hunting and fishing industry. The Grid also provides verified guides and outfitters with a central location to learn about and engage with brands who offer pro-discount programs on a variety of gear, including clothing, backpacks, footwear, tree stands, game calls, coolers, optics and more. Guidefitter does not charge guides and outfitters to access the Grid.

"We absolutely abuse our gear every day," said Tom Indrebo, outfitter and owner of Bluff Country Outfitters in Alma, Wisconsin. "The Grid is helping us afford the best gear possible to help us get the job done for our clients."

"The Grid is another example of how the Guidefitter team is working hard to help guides, outfitters and our industry," said Jacob Moore, outfitter and owner of Kansas Whitetail Addictions and Moore, in Moline, Kansas.

"It's about time someone made it easier for hunting guides like me to learn what brands offer gear discounts and figure out how to apply for their programs," said Clint Schneider, a professional guide with Seven J Outfitters in Sundance, Wyoming. "The Grid simplifies this significantly and saves me time in addition to saving me money."
