I have noticed that an industry that traditionally doesn't have a strong emphasis on technology, is now utilizing technology more than ever. The outdoor industry in general is going through a big developmental phase right now. The industry went from being very primitive, to now very technological. An example of this is hunting and fishing practices. Hunting is now using technology to help mask human's scent from animals. Machines have been developed to create a small Ozone that eliminates all odors that humans put off. Ozonics created this machine and now it is selling faster than they had imagined. Fishing has evolved as well. Technology allows fisherman to know what it under the boat through fish finders and other equipment. The entire idea of technology in the outdoor industry seems crazy, but it works and it sells.
Retailers are also using new technology to sell the new technology in the industry. Retailers like Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Scheels, have all utilized online selling to boost their sales. All of these retailers have great websites and apps that help consumers gain access to all of their products. The apps allow the consumer to access so many products and information, they can also compare prices and products to all of the competitors. Technology is driving this industry that is primitive in nature.
