“Orvis has been purpose-driven for over 160 years,” states Perkins. “Recently, we’ve invested a lot in listening to our customers to understand how we can grow the business. The result has been some very exciting branding work that reaffirms our focus on teaching, conservation and advocacy.”
At the conference, members of ANA will learn how the oldest mail-order outfitter and longest continually operating fly-fishing business in the U.S. has evolved its business model to reach consumers across generations in new ways and in new places.
