October ’19 New Brands and Site Trends
Experts took close to one million Edu-Games last month. Perhaps that was due to the launch of brands like Ancient Nutrition in the health and wellness space to Klos Guitars in the music category providing experts across a variety of disciplines and passions the opportunity to increase their knowledge to speak better on their behalf.
Welcome to the ExpertVoice family:
As retailers gear up for the holidays, hiring starts to pick and so does the growth of the expert audience. New retail employees are introduced to ExpertVoice in their early days of employment so they can be confident they are providing the best advice and recommendations to their customers around what to buy. These numbers are reflected in the uptick of EduGames taken and new members joining the platform.
Expert growth can also be attributed to new member pushes from some of our partner and membership organizations like the AIARE (American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education), Leave No Trace, USA Cycling, International Freeskier and Snowboard Association, Sportsmen’s Alliance, NTOA, American Alpine Club. In some instances, key brands of interest to these groups have partnered up to provide an additional incentive for their members when they join ExpertVoice. If this is of interest to your brand, reach out to Chris Cochella.
