Why should you sponsor LURE 2008?
Here are a few reasons...
First, consider some statistics for sport fishing in the State of Texas:
- Texas has over 80,000 miles of streams, 400 miles of shoreline, and 212 major reservoirs. Texas has more inland water than any other state, except Minnesota.
- Texas is ranked number two for sport fishing in the nation.
- Texas has nearly 2 million anglers that spend a combined 40 million days fishing a year.
- Fresh water anglers alone spend upwards of $2 billion annually to fish.
- In 2006, there were over 1.5 million fishing licenses sold in Texas.
- In 2006, Texas’ estimated economic impact from sport fishing was over $5 billion.
Second, there are almost no sport fishing expositions in Texas and the few that are based here are inadequate and do not do the area or the industry justice. Many manufacturers and retailers see the market opportunity, but have yet to find the best way to reach the public in its masses. Freshwater and saltwater fishing both prevail in this giant state. So why isn’t there a better way for buyers and the general public to come together and see new products and services? LURE 2008 will change that for good.
And third, though certainly not finally, LURE 2008 is your chance to show your product or service to the Texas market, a market that is responsible for nearly $5 billion of the sport fishing industry’s value. The potential is infinite and results are guaranteed.
