The first of its kind online marketplace for consumers
passionate about outdoor recreation and brands made in the United States has officially launched,
nationwide.
HOUSTON, June 23,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest, the digital company
bridging community and commerce for the outdoor recreation space
announced today the launch of Everest.com, the first online
marketplace and community hub offering consumers brand assortment,
convenience, expert advice, content and community all in one place.
The consumer product exchange enables individuals and families
across the nation to shop from American retailers who offer largely
domestically made recreational products for the outdoors.
Everest (everest.com) fills an unmet need within a massively
underserved outdoor recreation market of more than $700 Billion in consumer spending. Currently,
less than 20% of the industry's sales are transacted online, and
the market is expected to grow at 7.12% CAGR over the next four
years alone. Today, Everest.com offers products from over 1,000
US-based merchants and retailers, with plans to expand that number
to over 10,000 by 2023.
"Our mission is to create the largest marketplace on earth for
the outdoor recreation community, not only meeting the need for
passionate outdoorsmen, and women, but also providing a place for
retailers and brands to stand out, build fanbases, and sell gear,
accessories, and apparel for all genres of outdoor activity,"
explained Founder and CEO, Bill
Voss. "We are providing an environment that's just as seller
friendly as it is consumer friendly. That level of collaboration
allows for the most robust niche marketplace possible, which
provides the best experience for the consumer."
As an avid outdoor enthusiast, Bill
Voss frequently finds himself outdoors with his friends and
family. Before founding Everest, Bill recalls seeing a need in the
industry for an digital marketplace to help individuals like
himself shop for the best recreational gear for their next outdoor
adventure. In 2020, Bill put his extensive knowledge of outdoor
recreation to use and turned his vision into a reality, founding
Everest.com.
Now, Everest is the first niche customer-centric,
community-driven, multi-vendor online marketplace serving those who
love the outdoors by connecting them to brands, products and
content tailored to their passions. Utilizing state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence, Everest.com aligns consumers' needs and
interests with their vast selection of outdoor products at various
price points.
Everest also offers consumers a next level option called
Caliber, which provides its members with several exclusive benefits
including:
- Free shipping on Caliber-eligible products
- Thousands of hours of stream-able content
- Eat-Play-Travel discounts to 700,000 locations
- Donation to Everest's non-profit partners
- Early-bird notice on sales and closeouts
- Extreme discounts on gear
- Entry into Caliber member-only giveaways
- Fuel discounts at shell gas stations
"I wanted to build a platform that is user friendly and familiar
to prospective buyers and businesses, while also being innovative
and unique," shared Voss. "Over the years I have assembled a team
of smart, talented and like-minded team members to build Everest
into the successful marketplace we knew it could be. Now, we're
ready and thrilled to share it with today's consumers."
As a brand that is embedded in the outdoor enthusiast community,
Everest gives back to a number of nonprofits and organizations that
support the wilderness and conservation efforts. For the full list
