Albert Rasch, Phillip Loughlin, Holly Hyser and of course Dayne Shuda!!

Many thanks to you all and your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

I do think there is room to make connections with big players in the hunting industry as well though.

One thing the Web does is remove connection barriers for businesses and individuals.

Maybe size doesn’t matter.

I think a business’s focus should be on finding connecting with passionate people, like you mentioned, no matter if they are big or small and forging mutually beneficial connections.

Businesses have the ability to try different approaches and see what works best for their unique situation.

Thanks again for the insightful comment.

Another winner in your long list of great posts.

Part of the problem, from the side of the business and marketing departments, is that there are a multitude of venues out there. How do you tie in to the ones that will give you the broadest reach, the most bang for your buck? Do you go with the established players like Field and Stream or VRS TV? Or do you take a risk and try to work with the smaller players like Rabbit Stew or NorcalCazadora that have very loyal followings?

I vote for the smaller, passionate players like the members of Outdoor Bloggers Summit. Bloggers reach people that trust the them, and trust the Blogger’s opinions.

“If Albert says it’s pretty good, it must be. He’s writing about it and he’s putting his reputation out on the line for anyone to question.”

I can called on the carpet at any moment, as compared to the Field and Stream blogs or the VRS website.

I call that credibility.

Best regards,

It sounds like you guys are doing great things at N.H.E.

Thank you for your insight.

From the very moment that we receive an inquiry over the web or by phone my team is on stage!
They talk at great lengths about the operation and what we have to offer, and with great enthusiasm, they explain the Lodging, Full Service and what that means as well as the uniqueness of our animals and what we have and do that no other company can offer.

The N.H.E. Inc. team really works hard to insure that the client is “Entertained” from that first phone call, to the second that they hit the gate, till it is time for them to go home.
And even after they have a successful hunt it does not end there.
We send out continuous updates in the form of e-mail blasts, special offerings and then every year we have an “Invite Only” Dove Hunt which is extended to certain repeat clients as a special thank you for helping to support the company.

The harvesting of an animal is just simply “Icing On The Cake” because it needs to be all about the client getting away from florescent lighting, cubicles and pavement, and getting out for a couple of days into the silence and serenity of nature.

An example would be, when a couple goes out for a night on the town to enjoy Dinner and a Show, there is a complete 6 hour span that a certain restaurant and particular theatre venue has the opportunity to Entertain that couple and hold their attention within that time frame.
If the venues are good at what they do, that particular couple will patronize those very same venues again and again.

If they fail to properly entertain (Take Care) of that couple then rest assured, they will never return.

I think we’ll see outreach to bloggers in the hunting niche in the near future.

@Sherry – Thank you Sherry. I appreciate what you do for individuals in the hunting industry as well.
