New Multiyear Deal Brings Full Portfolio of 53 Leading Outdoor Brands to the Guidefitter Platform

BOZEMAN, Mont., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Guidefitter, the online community and marketplace fueled by the opinions of thousands of pro guides and other outdoor professionals, today announced an expanded, multi-year partnership with GSM Outdoors. This agreement brings the entire GSM Outdoors brand portfolio, including 53 leading outdoor brands such as Muddy, Stealth Cam, SOG Knives, Walker's, Avian X, Yamamoto Baits, and Bill Lewis Fishing, onto the Guidefitter platform.

Guidefitter and GSM Outdoors first partnered in 2017, beginning with the Stealth Cam and Walker's brands. Since then, both companies have experienced significant growth. GSM Outdoors has broadened its portfolio to include a wide array of top-tier brands, while Guidefitter has expanded its professional audience, enhanced its technology platform, and increased its roster of leading outdoor brand partners. This long-standing partnership has proven to be strong and mutually beneficial.

"We are excited to further extend our long partnership with Guidefitter and leverage our pro program into a strategic marketing and sales channel for our brands," said Eddie Castro, CEO of GSM Outdoors. "When a program member purchases one of our products through our pro program managed by Guidefitter, that is the beginning of the strategic journey, not the end."

Under the new agreement, GSM Outdoors will leverage Guidefitter's industry-leading reputation for stringent program eligibility verification, ensuring the highest standards for pro program member vetting. Additionally, Guidefitter's proprietary technology platform and AI tools will monitor pro purchase guidelines across all GSM brands, maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the program.

"Guidefitter is proud to deepen our relationship with GSM Outdoors," said Bryan Koontz, CEO of Guidefitter. "Our combined efforts will set a new standard for pro program excellence and foster stronger connections between GSM brands and the professionals who trust and promote them."

Guidefitter will gradually roll out the additional GSM brands on its platform throughout the rest of 2024. Furthermore, the companies are collaborating on strategic initiatives to harness GSM pro program members' collective voice and promotional power, ensuring genuine and impactful promotion of GSM brands within their personal and professional communities and networks.
