About Us
We are Big Sky Traders, a hybrid collective that blends the strengths of a brand collective and marketing co-op. Our purpose is to bring together complementary, non-competing brands under one roof, enabling them to gain premium exposure at trade shows, events, and expos—all without the hassle of managing logistics, travel, or sales efforts themselves. By paying a quarterly membership fee, brands in our network benefit from shared visibility while keeping event-related costs separate.
At Big Sky Traders, we believe in the power of collaboration to elevate brands in the outdoor industry. By partnering with us, you gain access to our extensive network and resources that can enhance your market presence and drive growth. We specialize in bridging the gap between overlanding, hunting, fishing, and aviation brands, ensuring your products reach a passionate audience of outdoor adventurers.
Benefits of Collaboration
Increased Visibility: Leverage our established marketing channels to showcase your brand to a targeted audience eager for premium outdoor products.
Diverse Market Access: Expand your reach into the hunting, fishing, and aviation sectors, tapping into new customer bases beyond traditional overlanding markets.
Shared Expertise: Benefit from our deep knowledge of the outdoor industry, including key market trends and consumer preferences.
Collaborative Promotions: Participate in joint marketing initiatives, events, and campaigns designed to amplify your brand’s exposure.
Network of Premium Brands: Join a community of top-tier brands like STEP22 Gear and DEVOS Outdoors, elevating your brand’s credibility and consumer appeal.
In addition to the membership fee, participating brands share the costs of booth space, travel, and other event-related expenses, ensuring that everyone contributes fairly while minimizing individual financial burdens. We handle all on-ground sales and representation, and in return, we earn a commission on each item sold.
This collaborative model maximizes visibility and sales opportunities, providing small and medium-sized businesses with a scalable, cost-effective solution to participate in major industry events. By partnering with us, your brand gains access to new markets, shared promotional efforts, and the strength of a collective presence at high-impact events.
What We Do

Event Coordination: We organize and attend key trade shows, expos, and industry events on your behalf, ensuring maximum brand visibility while handling all logistics, from booth setup to sales execution.
Co-Sharing Model: Through our co-sharing approach, brands split booth space, travel, and event costs, gaining high-impact exposure while keeping expenses manageable. This collaborative effort ensures every brand benefits without the full financial burden.
Sales & Commission: We represent and sell your products at these events, earning a commission on each item sold. This allows you to expand your reach without needing to be present at every event yourself.

These events attract a highly engaged audience of outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and adventurers, providing a prime opportunity to showcase premium products tailored to this lifestyle. By being present at these expos, Big Sky Traders helps partner brands connect directly with potential customers, build trust, and capture market share in the rapidly growing outdoor and hunting industries.
Big Sky Traders attends fishing expos and events to introduce partner brands to a thriving market of passionate anglers. These events provide a unique opportunity to showcase premium products to a dedicated audience, allowing brands to gain visibility and build credibility within the fishing community. By participating in these expos, Big Sky Traders helps partner brands engage directly with potential customers, expand their reach, and secure valuable market share in the competitive fishing industry.
Attending aviation expos and events is crucial for Big Sky Traders because these spaces represent virtually untapped markets for overlanding and off-roading brands. Aviation enthusiasts and pilots share a passion for exploration and adventure, making them a natural fit for crossover with outdoor lifestyle brands. By introducing overlanding products at these events, Big Sky Traders can position partner brands as essential tools for ground-based adventures, expanding their audience and entering new market segments. This innovative approach helps brands differentiate themselves and capture market share in an industry ripe for crossover opportunities.
Attending outdoor events that cater to diverse lifestyles—such as hiking, overlanding, camping, and more—is essential for Big Sky Traders. These events attract a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts who are passionate about exploration and adventure, providing an ideal platform to showcase partner brands. By engaging with this multifaceted audience, Big Sky Traders helps brands connect with different segments of the outdoor community, from hikers and campers to off-roaders. This broad exposure allows partner brands to expand their customer base, build lasting connections, and increase market share across multiple outdoor niches.
