Outdoor retailer online
Vermont outdoor recreation companies participated in Outdoor Retailer Online (ORO), a virtual trade show for the outdoor industry in July 2020 as they reimagine their approach to building new markets and reaching new customers in the age of COVID-19.
Kaden Apparel, Mana Threads, and UnTapped had virtual booths with support from VOBA, Press Forward PR, and the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development's State Trade Expansion Program. Orvis, Turtle Fur, Pinnacle Ski & Sports, Basin Sports, Onion River Outdoors, Vermont Country Store, and ROAM also participated in the show. Big congratulations to Outdoor Gear Exchange for receiving this year's Outdoor Retailer Inspiration Award! Vermont brands and products were given exposure in The Weekly and VOBA's media release was published in Vermont Business Magazine, SNEWS, and Outdoor Sportswire.
