Larry Whiteley Testimonial

I have worked with a long list of outdoor industry companies for many years to do reviews on products I need for everything I do in the outdoors and then include them in articles, social media and radio shows.

I am not looking for free products when I contact them. Some companies do just send the product at no charge but the days of companies sending you free products to write about is starting to go away. I usually prefer to take advantage of great discount programs most companies have to purchase the products because I just feel that is best for them and me. I will use that product for many years and will try to find multiple opportunities to give them coverage and then make sure I get them copies of anything I do on their products.

I still work with some companies like we always have but more and more are getting away from working direct with outdoor writers and using a company called ExpertVoice. The list of companies they work with is huge and getting bigger as more companies come to them. No, I don’t work for ExpertVoice and they are not paying me for writing this but I am a happy user. If you want to keep up on the newest outdoor products, get first-hand experience with them and get amazing discounts, then ExpertVoice is great!

The companies get passionate people like us who give great advice to others to recommend their products. They don’t pay anyone to do it. We do it because we have real experience with the products and believe they are the best choice. ExpertVoice helps companies get their products into the hands of people like us so they get recommended more often, and the brands sell more.

To qualify, you will complete lessons on each product with behind-the-scenes looks at product innovations and then take a short quiz. You also get sneak peeks at new product lines. Plus, you can read experiences with the products from other experts on ExpertVoice. Your experiences shared on the platform should always be authentic and not like a paid endorsement.

So, what about the discounts? The discounts are really nice. Each brand decides what discount to offer, and there is a range of discounts on the platform up to 60% off MSRP. You will be pleasantly surprised about what is available once you qualify. In the past I have saved over $1,000 on a GoalZero solar generator I use for camping and powering my workshop. I have also purchased ammunition and gun accessories at discount prices.

Follow the instructions provided on the POMA Business Discounts page to take advantage of the savings ExpertVoice offers. I think you will find it as useful as I do in my work as an outdoor writer.

All the best to each of you.
