Buff Brand Products at the New England Boat Show

by

This weekend, Erin is representing Buff Brand Products in the Goose Hummock booth at the New England Boat Show.

Erin may not know the difference between a shark and a trout but she can sell the shit out of a Buff!

Buff makes multifunctional headwear for all types of outdoor activities including fishing, to protect you from insects and sun.

Many products are UPF 50+, made for marine environments, and made from recycled bottles! Not to mention, they come in great fishing related designs – whether it be salt or freshwater fishing you are into.

There is a Buff Brand Product for every activity and store. For more information, please get in touch!

Lahout’s So Cute!

Great visual merchandising by the cash wrap at America’s oldest ski shop, Lahout’s in Littleton, New Hampshire. This metal and wood shelf is perfect to showcase small impulse items like hats, glasses and picture frames. The repetition helps to keep the small space from looking cluttered or messy and can really showcase a lot of product in a relatively small, and otherwise pretty unusable area.

Nice pants!

The Shoe Horn is located at at 8 Langdon Street Montpelier, VT. Right next door to it’s parent store, Onion River Sports. They started out as a small shoe store that sold comfortable shoes for the Vermont lifestyle. Since then they have doubled in size and expanded their footwear to include brands that are as fashionable as they are comfortable. They are now known for carrying shoes AND clothes for the Vermont lifestyle. They are the source for clothing that can go from work to play and back again, and that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
