Retro Cool: CamelBak

CamelBak ditched their normal logo for the show this year, adopting a 80s throwback look tospice things up and remind us of the longevity of the brand.

Their "Since 1989" branding was consistent across multiple platforms - their booth, an outdoortent, and pedicabs that they wrapped with their branding.

Solar Charge: Goal Zero

Goal Zero, a company that makes solar powered power packs, kits, and accessories, madetheir mark with charging stations all over Outdoor Retailer.

This was an awesome move on two fronts: not only did it provide a highly sought after servicefor show attendees, it was the perfect way to see the product in action.

Carbon Focus: Superfeet

Typically a brand that highlights a number of products in their booth, Superfeet tried a highlytargeted approach this year, focusing entirely on showcasing their carbon footbed insole.

Keeping with the carbon theme, Superfeet drew in a large crowd when they raffled off a carbonmountain bike on Thursday afternoon. Raffles are a great way to drive traffic to your booth andcapture contact information for potential customers.
