Outdoor Retailer - Winter 2016 - 8
FIRST WORDS
Starting a New
Conversation
WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL ISSUE OF the
new Outdoor Retailer Magazine. We conceived this endeavor with an idea about retail-a simple one, really: We believe that engaging in thoughtful, complex conversations
about business and the outdoor experience
is good for the industry. And we think that
there's a certain quality of writing, imagery
and design that only print can deliver. (We love
the feel of it.) Outdoor is an emotion industry;
we wanted our magazine to reflect this.
We're also carrying on the tradition of a
well-respected publication. For more than 20
years, starting in 1981, the original Outdoor
Retailer Magazine served the industry as the
source for knowledge. We are proud of our
history. But we aren't just resurrecting the
old title. Call it a new take on an old idea. The
market needs a publication that's original and
human. It needs one that's authoritative and

accessible. It needs one that delivers retailerfocused analysis alongside stories about the
people and ideas that make outdoor unique.
We are looking outside outdoor, too. While
we might never want to work in another industry, we'll take from them what can in order to
make outdoor grow. It might get uncomfortable, and you might not agree, but that's where
we are coming from. And we're looking forward to bringing you the best of the tribe and
the influences around us.
We hope you enjoy reading this first issue as
much as we enjoyed creating it. Your voice is
important. Please tell us what you think; write
to us as: edit@outdoorretailer.com.
