Tigerfan brought up another question I had, how much are you influenced by seeing the product on a hunting show, or hearing that a hunting expert or "celebrity" endorses it? We're looking at some sponsorship opportunties as well, but most hunters I know don't seem too influenced by that sort of thing. Just wondering what the opinion is here.
I do not buy a product because the person on the screen tells me too. I will buy the product if it relates to what I do and if I feel that it is the best product out there. I will use the Hunter Safety System as an example again. When I saw it on the tv I knew that I could use something like that and I was getting tired of fighting my saftey harness that I was using. It was getting tangled up everytime I took it off, so I knew with the HSS, that would be eliminated. I also hunt out of Loc-ons, climbers, and ladders alot and I will not get in one without a harness. The celeb guy was making a point that you could drag deer out with it was really stressing that use. I knew at that time that I didn't need that due to having access to everything I hunt with a 4 wheeler. I am not sure what your product is but the hottest show on the tube is Real Tree Road Trips. I will not miss an episode of that show, I also watch Spirit of the Wild with Uncle Ted but not as much as Road Trips. Most people that I know will watch certain shows and catch the rest when nothing else is on, I do have some friends that will only watch the outdoor channel and the weather channel. Not me, I enjoy other things as well. Hope this helps and if I can help more, let me know.
