One of Maine Outdoors business strategies is to keep current with computers, software and electronic communication. Over the years this effort has sometimes been very painful. Installing new software has been a huge challenge more than once. The best story is this from the winter of 2008.
Recently even upgrading my handheld GPS unit proved to be a multi-day customer service event (finial got it though).
Recently I attended a small business event and had the chance to meet in person someone that I had been talking with online casually for over a year. Her parting remark to me was happy camping. I realized that even after interacting on social media, reading my blog and looking at my web site she assumed that I was all about camping. Not at all the case. There was a time when extended camping trips were a large part of my summer season but that was twenty years ago now.
This blog post was extensively quoted by George Smith on Downeast’s web site. My original post was about how my nature trips simply do not sell very well when compared with my fishing trips.
