LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 23, 2014 –Bug Bam Products, the US-based manufacturer of the world’s #1 selling mosquito-repelling wristband, has renewed its marketing partnership with Fishhound.com, the industry’s largest word-of-mouth marketing platform and leading provider of “real-time” fishing reports.  The renewal of this marketing agreement reflects  Fishhound’s ongoing commitment to reach, educate and influence not only avid anglers, but also a broader audience of outdoors enthusiasts.

Bug Bam wristbands will be promoted through Fishhound’s popular and highly effective Product Showcase, which generates unparalleled online and social media exposure for companies that provide products for fishermen, hunters, campers and boaters.  In addition to delivering prominent exposure at the Fishhound.com website, the Product Showcase puts products in the hands of Fishhound members so they can experience the quality and performance firsthand.  Members then post unbiased reviews that spread virally through social media channels, influencing the buying opinions of their peers.

“The renewal of our partnership with Bug Bam couldn’t have come at a better time,” noted Rick Patri, Fishhound’s Vice President Operations.  “Our expanded capabilities allow us to target more than one million avid outdoorsmen – all potential customers for Bug Bam’s products, which have practical applications across a wide range of sporting and recreational activities.

Scientifically proven, DEET-free and composed of safe EPA- and FDA-compliant materials and ingredients, Bug Bam’s repellant wristbands keep flying, biting bugs away by effectively disguising human odor.  They’re perfect for anglers and hunters because they don’t emit any artificial scents or chemicals that can produce negative effects, or damage expensive gear and tackle.  Bug Bam wristbands use only natural plant scents to mask the human scent from the incredible receptors of a mosquito.  They actually help hide human scent from larger animals as well, while keeping annoying pests away.

“For most distributors of repellants, bugs are not their primary business, whereas we focus on bug repellents 24/7,” said Joseph Symond, Founder of Bug Bam.  “That allows us to ensure the highest possible levels of quality and performance, and it’s made Bug Bam the best-selling repellant wristband in the world.  “We’re continuously improving our product range, and the customer feedback we receive from Fishhound allows us to learn and adjust according to what our demographic demands.  We know our products work – that’s why we jumped at the opportunity to have Fishhound members use them, review them and share their opinions with others that love the great outdoors.”
