Bonnier Corporation Partners with Fin & Field
Will Help Over 20 Million Sportsmen Book Hunting and Fishing Trips
Santa Barbara, CA, June 1, 2016 -- Fin & Field, a brand-new online marketplace for booking hunting and fishing trips, announces today a strategic partnership with Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Saltwater Sportsman and Sport Fishing magazines, four of Bonnier Corporation’s premiere outdoor titles. The partnership provides Fin & Field’s over 25,000 operators (which include charter boats, guides, outfitters, lodges, marinas, brands, and other outdoor services) exposure to the country’s largest audience of outdoor enthusiasts. Finding the right guide is often the biggest challenge for sportsmen looking to plan hunting and fishing trips. Fin & Field’s easy-to-use online service helps take the guesswork out by providing sportsmen access to full-featured business profiles, reviews, and the ability to book trips directly with the operator on www.finandfield.com or over the phone.
In addition to the consumer-facing website, Fin & Field has also released a business platform for operators. "Many operators today are still using outdated paper calendars, answering machines and static websites," said co-founder and Fin & Field’s Chief Operating Officer Rob Duva. "Smart ones are providing a better experience for their clients by adopting integrated software like ours that helps them more efficiently run, market, and grow their business."
Through the partnership, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Saltwater Sportsman and Sport Fishing magazines will feature Fin & Field operators across their digital and print channels, as well as through Bonnier’s popular series of outdoor events and tournaments.
"Our exceptionally engaged and passionate audience has looked to our brands for guidance experiencing the outdoors for more than a century. Fin & Field offers just what our readers are looking for today: access to great hunting and fishing adventures across the country," said Bonnier Corp.’s Chief Marketing Officer, Elizabeth Murphy. "Fin & Field’s unique booking platform brings time-honored practices into the modern age, providing instant access from any device to this rich community of outdoor service providers."
“Sportsmen have trusted Bonnier’s storied publications for generations. We are excited to introduce Fin & Field to their community”, said Rob Murphy, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fin & Field. “Our ‘Sportsmen First’ mentality guides us as we seek to make outdoor adventures more accessible to sportsman of all skill levels and the process of running outdoor businesses easier to manage for the operators whose passion for being in the field or on the water is what motivated them to start their business.”
