How it works
Early Bird Sport-Bag partners lock in the best goodies for your event. During the later part of December and all of January, Outdoors NW centers much of its efforts on creating the largest and most comprehensive multi-sport calendar in the Pacific Northwest. We turn over every possible rock to find every outdoor athletic participant event going on. This becomes the basis for our Early Bird partnership program.
Once we have compiled our Early Bird event partners, we begin talking to manufacturers across the county who would like to supply Northwest events with product inserts for our event partners! These products then become a part of your Sport-BAG offerings to your participants.
Partner with us early. You’ll be glad you did!
