Black ovis/camofire going out of business?

[bozeman]

There were a few BO employees on here as I rec'd comments on WTB ads in the classifieds. 'I work for BO and we can help with this'. I wander if they will post up or keep to themselves. I feel for the workers who are losing their jobs this close to the holidays.

I sent that member a DM a couple weeks ago asking about something and I’ve gotten no response. I figured he was out hunting……. Not the case now

I think the last thing I bought from them was a pair of Crispi boots on clearance about 12-13 years ago.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't heard from Kendall or anyone else prominent with BlackOvis.

For a guy (and company) who have been known to be stand up, honest, with great CS - it is very poor taste that all they did was write on their website/social media that they are done, and that's it.

Maybe there is something legally that they need to work out before they can make some sort of insightful announcement/release of info?

If your sales are struggling to generate enougg revenue - you probably cant raise prices

Not necessarily. Could be a marketing thing.

Otherwise "Made in the USA" products wouldn't be around very long.

I think you answered your own question. In situations like this anybody in a position that would warrant a do not compete clause in their contract is typically also given a set of confidentiality standards to abide by that generally include the business being sold, filing for bankruptcy, etc.

Not sure what happened but Black Ovis, Crispi, Peax, Go Hunt and onX are at the top of my list of hunting brands that have over influenced, it comes off as inauthentic and desperate and I believe actually drives away sales.

I got all my gear when I started hunting from Camo fire and black Ovis.

All I know is when you guys figure out who’s selling all the product they already had sitting in a warehouse, I know a guy that’s very interested
