Supporting Retail Excellence: Retail Associates Pro Purchase Programs for Outdoor Gear

Gear Up For Outdoor Success & Elevate Your Retail Game

Guidefitter is where employees of select outdoor retailers, including floor sales associates and retail buyers, access hundreds of pro-purchase programs for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor gear, all in one place.

Who We Are

Situated against the backdrop of Bozeman, Montana's Bridger Mountains, Guidefitter is more than just a company—it's a collective of individuals deeply committed to the outdoor lifestyle. When the business day concludes, you'll find us in the great outdoors, equipped with our go-to gear, whether that's a camera, fishing rod, or bow. We value these moments, either spent in the company of friends and family or in solitary reflection.

Our dedication to high-quality outdoor equipment is unwavering, and it's a topic we could discuss extensively. We aim to cultivate a robust community of like-minded outdoor professionals and enthusiasts, all sharing a profound respect for nature and the adventures it offers. Your knowledge and skills can make the difference between a good and great outdoor experience for shoppers, so it's essential to have hands-on experience with a wide variety of gear yourself.

It's also important to gain access to valuable educational information from leading brands to make sure you're equipped to provide detailed product and brand answers to customer questions and guide them to confident purchase decisions.

We get it. You’re the go-to expert for diverse customers, and they all turn to you for guidance. This poses unique challenges. The outdoor gear landscape changes constantly, and keeping up with it becomes a job in and of itself. On top of that, the cost of owning and testing various outdoor gear can quickly add up. Guidefitter makes it easy to stay on top of new outdoor gear trends and afford the gear you need. This enriches your own outdoor experiences and boosts your retail expertise. The more gear you test firsthand, the more valuable you become to your customers. Everyone wins.

The Fine Print

Here is all the legal mumbo-jumbo our lawyers make us put here...
Membership into any brand pro purchase program made available to applicants through the Guidefitter platform requires adequate verification of program eligibility. Guidefitter first considers applicants for inclusion into one or more “Insider“ categories within the Guidefitter membership roster.
Once qualified as a verified Guidefitter Insider, the Insider may opt-in to individual brand pro purchase programs through Guidefitter's platform. Membership in a specific brand pro program is not guaranteed. Some brands may require additional qualification steps or documentation before being accepted into their pro programs. Guidefitter does not ensure participation or acceptance into brand pro purchase programs.
All individual brand program eligibility requirements, pricing/benefit levels and product availability decisions are ultimately up to the brand and not Guidefitter. Maintaining status as a Guidefitter Insider and as a member of any brand program made available through Guidefitter is subject to strict adherence to all applicable program rules, which are made available to each Insider and program member. Violating these rules may result in losing your membership in any or all brand pro programs available through Guidefitter and your status as a verified Guidefitter Insider.
