Everest, the shooting sports and outdoor gear industry’s first customer-centric, community-driven, multi-merchant marketplace has officially launched. Everest is a non-discriminatory platform for hunters, shooting sports enthusiasts, anglers, campers and hikers across the country, linking consumers and retailers with a robust marketplace where they can interact, participate, contribute, learn, transact, and give back.
As a significant number of merchants make a mass exodus from other online marketplaces, Everest is disrupting the outdoor retail landscape by creating a robust community for outdoorsmen and women where they can live their passions. At time of launch, the Everest marketplace has already secured 500-plus merchants offering more than 500,000 outdoor and shooting sports products. It is estimated by the end of 2020, Everest will offer more than 1 million-plus products from retailers and manufacturers from around the globe.
The product inventory and merchant options will certainly continue to grow exponentially over the next 2 to 3 years as more retailers, distributors and manufacturers join the Everest community. Unlike any other marketplace in the space, the Everest experience will be consistently enhanced with fresh outdoor content such as how-to videos, product reviews, gear articles and much more.
“At our core, we believe in passing down the great outdoor legacies that were passed to us,” says Bill Voss, CEO/Founder of Everest. “Our mission is to create a one-of-a-kind marketplace where merchants can sell free of the noise of those other sites. We are committed to surpassing all customer expectations by providing unparalleled service, exceptional quality and
Everest has developed opportunities that create real value for their customers. Everest consumers can participate in the direction and growth of the marketplace, including giving back to those who do so much already in the space. Specifically, customers have the option of opening an Everest “Caliber Account” which features many benefits, including Free Express Shipping, extensive relevant video entertainment, cool swag, and deep discounts on selected items. Importantly, Everest will give back to philanthropic programs and outdoor industry initiatives that reflect the issues important to the Everest community such as conservation, veterans service organizations, cancer support and firearms safety.
