If you’ve never been to the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance web site, now’s the time to check it out; they’ve just launched their new look. I have to say it’s very well done, and am again impressed with the creative wizardry of Widgets & Stone studio here in Chattanooga. They were the geniuses behind the Rock/Creek rebranding project, and they were fun to work with for that project as well as this one.
If you’re not familiar with the mission of the organization, here it is:
Grassroots Outdoor Alliance unites independent outdoor retailers as a strong voice to protect and promote the experience of outdoor enthusiasts across the United States. We enable access to best business practices for our retail members, to the best equipment and apparel brands for the public, and to the backcountry for all.
Our retail members are seventy-plus stores working together to create a national network or promotion, access and information. We uphold the highest standards of financial stability and reliability in vendor relations. We are intimately involved in the development of local economies, communities, customer bases, events, education and initiatives related to the enhancement and enjoyment of outdoor experiences.
Our vendor partners offer the most reliable and evolutionary products available in outdoor gear and apparel. They are collaborative and open to participating in events, education and marketing based on regional and local engagement of sport and fashion. They are committed to sport, to outdoor recreation and to improving the lives and lived environments of loyal customers across the United States.
Our Grassroots’ Shared Values:
