Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever is proud to welcome
SoundGear™ as a new national sponsor and the official hearing protection of “The Habitat Organization.” The partnership offers SoundGear a wide array of marketing opportunities to educate the organization’s members and supporters about their innovative line of hearing protection designed for hunters and shooters, while making a financial commitment for upland habitat conservation efforts.
“Whether it’s the buzz of a covey rise or a rooster’s cackle as it flushes to the sky, the sounds associated with upland hunting enhance our experiences afield,” stated Bob St. Pierre, vice president of marketing for Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever. “This is why we encourage our members and followers to purchase SoundGear products for all of their outdoor endeavors. By doing so, individuals can enhance and protect their hearing for years to come while supporting the conservation efforts of Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever. “
SoundGear products digitally enhance environmental sounds like wing beats or sticks breaking while simultaneously protecting the hearing of hunters and shooters from harmful, high-decibel noises. Offering audible technology that is ready to wear right out of the box as well as custom-fitted options, SoundGear products are great for weekend warriors or avid uplanders who demand the most in hearing enhancement and protection.
“Starkey Hearing Technologies is proud to be joining the Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever team as the official hearing protection of ‘The Habitat Organization,’” said Lance Kraemer, SoundGear Product Manager. “This is a great opportunity to partner with an organization that is committed to conserving upland habitat for future generations and speak to a new audience on the importance of hearing protection while hunting and shooting.”
In addition to advertising in the
Pheasants Forever Journal of Upland Conservation, Quail Forever Journal, and the organization’s websites and social media channels, the following highlight key components of the partnership:
- National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic – As a gold sponsor for the 2018 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Sioux Falls, SoundGear products will be displayed in a premiere booth location for the signature event.
- Rooster Road Trip 2017 – SoundGear will co-sponsor this year’s Rooster Road Trip, an online event focused on the connection between member’s dollars and Pheasants Forever’s ability to create public hunting access.
