Head Skis and Mountain Action Network announce partnership/sponsorship


Head USA supplier of alpine and snowboard gear and Mountain Action Network announce a partnership to help Head skis build its brand presence online. This partnership enables Head to connect skiing consumers with specialty retailers online and drive traffic through promotion into stores via Shopatron. The Mountain Action Network collection of winter sports sites reaches over 2 million skiers each winter.

The sponsorship will include Head promoting a complimentary Mountain Sports Club premium membership with the purchase of each Head ski, snowboard and boot. Redemptions will be done online and add value for the consumer while encouraging more frequent participation in skiing and snowboarding. “Adding value to any purchase with a MSC membership that delivers savings will help retailers with their sell-through this season”, added Mike Bisner, Director of Marketing for HEAD.

Head will be featured in key content areas throughout the Mountain Action Network such as travel desk, resort pages, shop/marketplace and on outbound emails to email subscribers and members. This integrated promotion will include point of sale promotion in specialty Head retail stores, print advertising, at consumer ski shows and on product with hang tags.

The growing Mountain Action Network audience will be introduced to Head products and their points of sale, as the official ski & snowboard equipment company within this popular network. Head products will be featured and consumers will be driven to purchase Head winter products at all authorized specialty retailers nationally through the Shopatron Network.
