Hahira, GA (April 22, 2010) – Backwoods Life Television, the award-winning reality outdoors TV program currently airing 4 times a week on Pursuit Channel and ICTV, announced today it has named GhostBlind as its official ground blind partner.
Under the terms of the agreement, Backwoods Life TV will exclusively use GhostBlind’s innovative reflective panel ground blind during the 2010 television season- its 6th exciting season. In return, GhostBlind will promote their popular blind through commercials and billboard advertising during Backwoods Life TV episodes. The hosts of Backwoods Life TV Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton will also be featured on all of the 2010 GhostBlind product packaging to emphasize their strong support.
As a recent winner of 4 Bugle Awards for outdoors entertainment excellence, Backwoods Life TV has elevated its brand in the past year to become a high-profile marketing platform for all its sponsors. Michael Lee believes the exclusive partnership between Backwoods Life TV and GhostBlind creates an outstanding, mutually-beneficial opportunity.
“GhostBlind is truly an innovative concept that makes an awesome ground blind. There’s nothing else like it on the market!” said Lee, “Backwoods Life TV is extremely excited to work closely with Chet (Burdette) and Kevin (Pottmeyer) to ensure a profitable relationship. And with us using GhostBlind exclusively, we have already been more successful in the field.”
About GhostBlind
Chet Burdette and Kevin Pottmeyer are the co-founders of GhostBlind Industries Inc. Burdette, the originator of the GhostBlind concept, has 55 years of extensive hunting experience and was in Special Forces. After years of sitting in cold, uncomfortable tree stands he knew there had to be a better way. Pottmeyer has much experience in engineering, designing and marketing new products, so the pair made their first prototype several years ago to verify that the concept was valid. Since that time they have spent much effort on trying to perfect the GhostBlind by making it durable and lightweight. For more information, visit GhostBlind on the web at: http://www.GhostBlind.com
