Promotional Products for Campers and Hikers, Really?

Okay, so promotional products for campers and hikers, is there enough interest in hiking and camping for this to be worthwhile? I mean I love to hike, but my wife’s idea of camping is a Holiday Inn Express. So, isn’t camping kind of an old-school thing? Who camps in the 21^st century? Well … it seems a lot of people do. There are 75 million active camping households in America. And that means a lot of your customers hike and camp. And here’s something that surprised me. Numbers are trending up for camping in the United States, and it’s being led by the younger generation. Is that a market you’d like to reach? Maybe it’s time to consider branded camping and hiking promotional products.
