The U.S. Outdoor Recreation Economy: An Overview
The U.S. outdoor recreation industry stands as a formidable economic force. In 2023, it generated a remarkable $1.2 trillion in economic output and supported 5 million jobs, representing 2.3% of the nation's GDP, according to the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable. Further emphasizing its significance, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) calculates this output to surpass that of traditional sectors like mining, utilities, farming and ranching, and chemical products manufacturing, underscoring its pivotal role in the United States' economic growth.

U.S. Retail Store Market Composition
The U.S. retail store market includes a diverse range of outlets, from independent "Mom & Pop" businesses to large big-box sporting goods chains like Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Bass Pro Shop, and Cabela's, among others.
The U.S. retail market for sporting goods is largely shaped by numerous big-box stores. These retailers typically stock popular, mass-produced brands from manufacturers who can consistently meet high demand and maintain shelf presence. Industry experts estimate that these mass-produced products constitute only 10% of the total brands available throughout the United States.

Market Share Goals
Outdoorsmen.com, a public holding and finance company focused on small business operators, aims to achieve an annual market share of $2.3 billion by 2028. This rapid growth will be driven by acquiring hundreds of outdoor industry trade shows and expos. These acquisitions will support the 288,652 small business operators ("Mom & Pop Shops") who collectively provide an estimated 90% of the brands, products, and services in the U.S. outdoor recreation economy.
This strategy addresses the significant market shift as consumers increasingly move online, while traditional big-box stores struggle to adapt quickly to these changing behaviors.

THE GROWING PROBLEM
Hundreds of large sporting goods big-box stores (including Sports Authority, Sports Chalet, Eastern Mountain Sports, Modell's, Olympia Sports, and Omega Sports) have been closing due to shifting consumer buying trends away from traditional brick-and-mortar retail.
Big-box stores are grappling with high overhead costs for retail space while their customer foot traffic diminishes each year.
Declining Foot Traffic
Traditional retail locations face diminishing customer foot traffic.
High Overhead Costs
High costs associated with extensive shelf space and large physical footprints.
Changing Consumer Behavior
A significant shift toward online purchasing and direct-to-consumer models.
Small Business Challenge
Over 288,000 small businesses (20 employees or less) support the U.S. outdoor sports industry. These businesses are often too small to scale for big-box retail shelves, leaving online platforms and trade shows as their primary sales channels.
Online Selling Experience
Many small businesses struggle to fully leverage their Online Selling Experience (OSX). This often leads to ineffective KPI tracking, resulting in reduced profitability. Low profit margins then strain cash flow and limit access to vital micro-lending and investment capital.

We're creating a social marketplace network within each department, enabling consumers and small business operators to connect, learn, and influence purchasing decisions.
