Homewood, Calif. (October 14th, 2020) — Today, Mad Jack Outdoor and Lucky Bums announced their partnership concentrated on kick starting online sales of their Snow Kid Toboggan Sled Collection. Lucky Bums, based in Bozeman, MT, manufactures an array of outdoor products. The classic style Toboggan line is made with High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and is now manufactured in the US.
“Offering affordable and Made in the USA gear is core to what Lucky Bums is all about,” said Jeff Streeter, CEO of Lucky Bums, “Working with Mad Jack Outdoor made sense, as they are all about supporting innovative manufacturers in the outdoor space — needless to say you have to be innovative to pull your production from overseas, to the US in a middle of a pandemic. ”
Mad Jack Outdoor is a first-of-its-kind online marketplace in the outdoor space. Utilizing a three-pronged approach, this marketplace model enables new brands to reach customers outside of the traditional, slow-to-adopt channels by advertising on behalf of the brand. Mad Jack Outdoor’s main objective is to get the brand’s product in front of as many people as possible. Mad Jack Outdoor is a true manufacturer’s marketplace, not just an eCommerce website. It allows brand manufactures to list their products and have control of product pricing across multiple advertising platforms through one marketplace. Simultaneously, the marketplace works with independent specialty brick-and-mortar retailers helping them sell more effectively online while giving shoppers the opportunity to access the entire product catalogs of veteran brands.
“I have been a long time fan of Lucky Bums” said Kristin Mehiel, Co-Founder of Mad Jack Outdoor, “The fact that they are looking to Mad Jack Outdoor to kickstart online sales is beyond rewarding. Then you layer in the made in the US and affordability aspect of Snow Kid Toboggan Line — it is a homerun!”
“We embrace family run businesses that are dedicated to creating affordable outdoor gear” said Michele Collison, Co-Founder of Mad Jack Outdoors. “It’s not easy to affordably manufacture in the US, but Jeff and his team have the grit and ingenuity to make it happen — something we admire”
