Are Hunting & Fishing Conventions a Good Investment?
March 20, 2023 by Ben Holbrook
Is attending a sports show a good investment for hunting or fishing lodges & outfitters?
As with many things, it depends. But for most lodges and outfitters, there are more productive ways to invest your marketing dollars.
Attending an outdoor convention like Dallas Safari Club or SCI requires a sizable investment, which normally makes it difficult to get a return on your investment. You need to purchase booth space, booth materials and furniture, pay for travel, meals and lodging, etc. Not to mention the time you and your staff spend sitting in a booth for 3 or 4 days.
At 3plains, we specialize in digital marketing strategies that require less investment of your time and marketing dollars, with higher returns. A digital marketing campaign also offers you the ability to track results in a way that shows exactly how much it is benefitting your business, whereas results from expos and conventions tend to be hard to quantify.
