How Send It Supports Local and Global Causes
At Send It, we believe in more than just producing high-quality gear for mountain biking, motocross, and other outdoor activities. We are committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve and the environment we enjoy. Our ethos goes beyond providing exceptional products; it extends to supporting local and global causes that resonate with our core values. In this blog, we’ll delve into the various ways Send It is involved in community efforts and how we give back to create a better world.
Supporting Local Communities
One of the pillars of Send It's community involvement is our dedication to supporting local communities. This commitment is evident in several initiatives and partnerships:
1. Volunteering with Local Organizations
Our team volunteers with local organizations such as the Colorado Mountain Bike Association (COMBA) and Denver Parks & Recreation. Through these partnerships, we help maintain and develop local trails, ensuring they remain safe and enjoyable for all users. Volunteering allows us to give back directly to the communities that have supported our brand from the beginning.
2. Sponsoring Local Events
Send It sponsors numerous local events, including the Breckenridge Bike Week, Outerbike events, and Fall Fest in Knoxville. These events not only provide opportunities for us to showcase our products but also allow us to engage with communities beyond our backyard, gather feedback, and support local businesses and organizations.
3. Partnering with Educational Institutions
We are proud to partner with educational institutions such as the CU Boulder Cycling and Mountain Bike teams and Boulder High School Mountain Bike Team. These partnerships provide students with access to our gear and resources, fostering the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and athletes. We are also excited about a potential partnership with CU Denver and Outside Magazine to support an outdoor industry-focused curriculum, providing young minds with opportunities to test, validate, and assist in developing our products.
4. Sustainable Practices
We strive to incorporate sustainable practices into our production processes. For example, our Send It Tote Bag is made from excess material used in the production of our flagship product, the High Roller Tailgate Pad. By repurposing leftover fabric, we reduce waste and minimize our environmental footprint while offering a cost-effective, eco-friendly product.
5. Supporting Non-Profit Organizations
Our partnerships with esteemed organizations such as Enduro Republicana (Bike Room RD) and Softopper enable us to reach a wider audience while supporting non-profit causes. Through these collaborations, we help raise awareness for our brand and products, while also contributing to charitable efforts that align with our mission.
6. Raising Awareness for Conservation
We actively participate in initiatives aimed at raising awareness for conservation. Our sponsorship of the Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour is a prime example. This tour, which premiered nationwide with over 40 stops at premium venues, included a High Roller tailgate pad giveaway at 10 preselected events. The tour not only showcased our products but also highlighted the importance of preserving natural trails and outdoor spaces for future generations.
7. Customer Reviews and Feedback
We place a high value on customer reviews and feedback. Platforms like Amazon and Shopify have been instrumental in gathering insights from our customers. We are proud to hold a 4.9 rating on Amazon, with the High Roller Tailgate Pad earning the prestigious Amazon's Choice Badge. This feedback helps us continually improve our products and services, ensuring we meet the needs and expectations of our customers.
8. Community Events and Conversations
Participating in community events allows us to engage with our customers directly. We’ve seen record sales and overwhelming excitement for our new products at various events, including the Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour and Outside Fest. These interactions provide valuable opportunities to build relationships, gather insights, and enhance our product offerings based on real-world feedback.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Our Impact
As we move forward, Send It is committed to expanding our impact both locally and globally:
We will continue to support local communities through volunteering, sponsoring events, and partnering with educational institutions. Our goal is to foster a thriving outdoor community that benefits from safe, well-maintained trails and access to top-quality gear.
We are dedicated to enhancing our sustainability initiatives, including exploring new ways to reduce waste and minimize our environmental footprint. Our efforts to create eco-friendly products like the Send It Tote Bag are just the beginning of our commitment to sustainable practices.
Through strategic partnerships and sponsorships, we aim to reach a broader global audience. Our collaborations and participation in events like the Colorado Outdoor Industry Leadership Summit (COIL) will help us achieve this goal.
4. Innovative Product Development
We will continue to innovate and develop products that meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. Our upcoming product launches, including the Defender 15 Hydration Pack, Reveler Gloves, and Renegade Gloves, are designed to provide the best possible experience for our customers, reinforcing our commitment to quality and performance.
Send It’s dedication to community involvement and giving back is an integral part of our brand identity. We are committed to supporting local and global causes, fostering sustainable practices, and engaging with our customers to create a positive impact. Whether through volunteering, sponsoring events, or developing innovative products, we strive to make a difference in the communities we serve and the environment we cherish. Thank you for being a part of the Send It community and supporting our mission to give back and create a better world for all outdoor enthusiasts.
