GIVEAWAYS

If you plan to participate in any giveaways please let us know if the giveway item(s) will either be a random drawing, or a winning prize for a competition. All tables with giveaways will have a unique QR code printed for easy entering. This also provides a fun way for you to interact with customers as they enter to win. Please note, all giveaway item(s) must be listed in detail on the Logistics form, and the giveway item(s) must be physically present at Defender Outdoors at least one week prior to the event. If you are unable to provide the product until the day of the event, the enter to win QR code will not be present at your table until the giveway product is accounted for. Your giveways item(s) will be included in our advertising and marketing campaigns.

DEMOS

Demos are a really fun and exciting way to firsthand share with customers the value of your product(s). If you do have product(s) to demo please list in detail on the Logistics form and plan to have multiple reps available to help facilitate range use. Our Range Safety Manager and RSO’s will help coordinate your demo to provide a great and efficient experience for you and the customers. We are shutting down all ranges to the public so we can accommodate for manufacturer demos and we encourage you to take advantage of it! Rifle and pistol lanes will be available.

CO-OP ADVERTISING

Last year we participated in a digital, radio, print, and email marketing campaigns to raise awareness for the event. Please consider participating with co-op funds as we plan to utilize every radio station this year. Also, if you have pop up tents and flags available to set up outside, you are welcome and encouraged to bring them to advertise your brand.

Please forward all communication and information to any reps attending besides yourself. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the team at info@defenderoutdoors.com or matt.irwin@defenderoutdoors.com.

Our goal this year is to have 45 Vendors in attendance, and $20k in giveaways!

We truly appreciate you and we are excited and looking forward to hosting this awesome event with you!
