Top 40 Most Influential Gun Industry Influencers 2020

Posted on by DCG

This year saw continued algorithm changes at Facebook, Instagram and YouTube that has dramatically reduced organic reach even further. Gun manufacturers and gun industry or tactical gear companies are already reeling from the “Trump Slump” (a term given to the down firearms economy due to a lack of fear in the marketplace.). To compound their problems, many cannot pay the big three social media sites for advertising due to their liberal terms and conditions which ban the sale or advertising of guns and most gun parts on their platforms. For this reason, it has become more important than ever for Gun Businesses to turn to their only solution; Influencer Marketing.

Influencer Marketing is essentially social media celebrity endorsement and product placement. In the past, companies paid radio disc jockeys to do LIVE endorsement commercials about a product they use or believe in, or they paid production companies to include product placement in TV Shows and Movies. Today that strategy works better than ever with some social media celebs having over a million fans or followers. Now you have to take into account the algorithm reducing their post reach to somewhere between 3% to 7% of their fan base when you estimate value at a Cost Per Thousand (CPM) reached. But just like a radio stations, the goal is to have frequency of message. A single radio commercial does not reach the whole radio station audience. Likewise, a single TV Commercial never reaches the whole TV station audience, not even the Super Bowl.. Much the same way, businesses are contracting with Influencers to build and maintain ongoing campaigns that over time will reach all or most of the influencers audience with the key being frequency of message and branding.

Gun Industry Influencer Marketing includes reposting (sharing) branded content, using the product in pictures, stories and videos (product placement) and creating content around the product (branded content). Rates vary based on popularity, reach and demand but from what we hear, one of the guys listed below gets over 30k per video. HOWEVER, it should be noted that NOT ALL influencers on this list are paid by companies to advertise their gear. Some of the influencers on this list have chosen to be supported by their fans instead of being paid by companies for reviews of their products.

We have used our huge social media network to pole gun owners and asked them to nominate the Gun Industry Influencers the TRUST Most. Trust is a major factor. A large following is nothing if the fans do not trust what the influencer says. We then sorted the influencers by total fan base on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter. Nominees were then filtered by the following criteria;

  • Did this social media have a front man/women?
  • Did that front man/woman publicly endorse other brand guns, gun parts or tactical gear on their channel(s)?
  • Did they have at least a cumulative 25,000 fans, followers and subscribers

This list is NOT based on reach since we do not have access to all the gun industry influencer analytics and reach can vary wildly based on virility of content created. This list and it’s variations are based on total follower, fans, subscribers at the time of the data collection (January 2020). It should be noted that if an influencer had multiple channels (ie two Instagram pages) those fan bases were added to achieve a total count.

We recognize that when dealing with a list this large, there most definitely will be discrepancies. If you represent one of these influencers and would like to correct data shown below we will entertain those adjustments until the last day of Shot Show 2020 at which time the numbers will become official until 2021. If the adjustment affects the top 10 we will still recognize the influencers below you and nobody will be “pushed out” of the top ranking

Most Influential Gun Industry Influencers 2019

Posted on by DCG

This year algorithm changes at Facebook, Instagram and YouTube dramatically reduced organic reach even further than last year. Gun manufacturers and gun industry or tactical gear companies are already reeling from the “Trump Slump” (a term given to the down firearms economy due to a lack of fear in the marketplace.). To compound their problems, many cannot pay the big three social media sites for advertising due to their liberal terms and conditions which ban the sale or advertising of guns and most gun parts on their platforms. For this reason, it has become more important than ever for Gun Businesses to turn to their only solution; Influencer Marketing.

Top 40 Most Influential on Twitter Today

Influencer Marketing is essentially social media celebrity endorsement and product placement. In the past, companies paid radio disc jockeys to do LIVE endorsement commercials about a product they use or believe in, or they paid production companies to include product placement in TV Shows and Movies. Today that strategy works better than ever with some social media celebs having over a million fans or followers. Now you have to take into account the algorithm reducing their post reach to somewhere between 3% to 7% of their fan base when you estimate value at a Cost Per Thousand (CPM) reached. But just like a radio stations, the goal is to have frequency of message. A single radio commercial does not reach the whole radio station audience. Likewise, a single TV Commercial never reaches the whole TV station audience, not even the Super Bowl.. Much the same way, businesses are contracting with Influencers to build and maintain ongoing campaigns that over time will reach all or most of the influencers audience with the key being frequency of message and branding.

Gun Industry Influencer Marketing includes reposting (sharing) branded content, using the product in pictures, stories and videos (product placement) and creating content around the product (branded content). Rates vary based on popularity, reach and demand but from what we hear, one of the guys listed below gets over 30k per video.  HOWEVER, it should be noted that NOT ALL influencers on this list are paid by companies to advertise their gear.  Some of the influencers on this list have chosen to be supported by their fans instead of being paid by companies for reviews of their products.

We have used our huge social media network to pole gun owners and asked them to nominate the Gun Industry Influencers the TRUST Most. Trust is a major factor. A large following is nothing if the fans do not trust what the influencer says. We then sorted the influencers by total fan base on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter. Nominees were then filtered by the following criteria;

  • Did this social media have a front man/women?
  • Did that front man/woman publicly endorse other brand guns, gun parts or tactical gear on their channel(s)?
  • Did they have at least a cumulative 25,000 fans, followers and subscribers

This list is NOT based on reach since we do not have access to all the gun industry influencer analytics and reach can vary wildly based on virility of content created. This list and it’s variations are based on total follower, fans, subscribers at the time of the data collection. It should be noted that if an influencer had multiple channels (ie two Instagram pages) those fan bases were added to achieve a total count.

We recognize that when dealing with a list this large, there most definitely will be discrepancies. If you represent one of these influencers and would like to correct data shown below we will entertain those adjustments until the last day of Shot Show 2019 at which time the numbers will become official until 2020. If the adjustment affects the top 10 we will still recognize the influencers below you and nobody will be “pushed out” of the top ranking

Shopify Deadline has Firearm Industry Retailers Scrambling to find an Alternative E-commerce Solution

Posted on by Josh M

Fortunately there are Robust e Commerce platforms that don’t care what you sell

Last Week Shopify has shown their true anti second amendment colors when they updated their AUP (Acceptable Use policy) more specifically the”Restricted Items” in regards to firearms and firearms related parts. Now they have finally released the deadline! The changes basically copy California’s strict gun laws. Hundreds if not thousands within the firearms industry are being forced to find new E-commerce solutions. While some businesses websites have been untouched some have already been shut down even though it clearly violates their contract. “The firearms industry is under an unprecedented attack from the leading facilitators of interstate commerce that deny legitimate firearm businesses access to important structural supports of modern business.” Counsel for Franklin Armory®, Jason Davis, stated. Businesses within the firearms industry whose products fall under the restricted items list have until December 31st to be within compliance of the updated AUP or stand to lose everything!

Many were notified via email with a message similar to this one.

We have provided a copy of Shopify’s recently updated policy below;

“Restricted Items” means:

 Certain Firearms
  • an automatic firearm that has not been rendered inoperable
  • a semi-automatic firearm that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine, with one or more of the following items:
    • magazine capable of accepting more than 10 rounds
    • bump stock
    • rapid fire trigger activator or trigger crank
    • barrel shroud
    • thumb hole stock
    • threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer
    • grenade or rocket launcher
    • flash suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer
    • pistol grip (or in the case of a pistol, a second pistol grip)
    • forward pistol grip
  • a semi-automatic firearm that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds
  • firearms without serial numbers
  • ghost guns and 3D printed guns, including blueprints for such guns
  • any part, component or kit for any firearm or gun listed above

Certain Firearm Parts

  • 80% or unfinished lower receivers
  • magazine capable of accepting more than 10 rounds
  • bump stock
  • grenade or rocket launcher
  • pistol grip (or in the case of a pistol, a second pistol grip)
  • forward pistol grip
  • barrel shroud*
  • thumbhole stock*
  • threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer*
  • flash suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer*
  • rapid fire trigger activator or trigger crank
  • any part, component or kit for a firearm part or including a firearm part listed above

*only if for use with a semi-automatic firearm

Many businesses who used Shopify took to social media to spread the word. With companies such as Spikes Tactical posting to their Facebook page.

And Mr. Wilson of Defense Distributed.

According to Cole Leleux, general manager of Spike’s Tactical, “This decision will have significant ramifications to our business and should concern every online retailer and Second Amendment supporter,” . Leleux also added, “We have invested more than $100,000 in the development of our Shopify store, which will disappear once these policies go into effect,” and herein lies the problem many in the industry have dumped thousands if not hundreds of thousands into Shopify’s proprietary system all of their information cannot simply be transfered to a new e-commerce system and will most likely be lost.

So is there a solution? Ultimately, Yes! Companies have the option to move to other E-commerce Platforms such as Magento or WordPress’s WooCommerce. Both E-commerce platforms are open source and offer one advantage that Shopify has done away with. They are Pro-Everything when it comes to products!

WordPress’s platform WooCommerce is meant for the smaller stores with hundreds of SKUs or less. However, It can add unlimited products and users, and take unlimited orders. They allow their users to sell anything from physical products and digital downloads to subscriptions, content and even appointments! as mentioned before WooCommerce is open source and HIGHLY customizable.

Magento is also an open source E-commerce platform owned by eBay that is also believes that their clientele should be able to sell anything. It is geared to larger businesses with hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of SKUs. Magento offers it users the unlimited ability to customize and has great features such as B2B commerce which allows business to purchase direct from vendors with self-serve information as well as being able to aid with global expansion!

We at DangerCloseGroup are ready with our Magento developers and designers on staff to help YOU with this MASSIVE undertaking. If you are interested in switching to Magento or the WordPress Platform call now before it is too late!

Most Influential Gun Industry Influencers 2018

Posted on by Josh M

 

As social medias like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube begin to shut down organic reach and charge higher prices for advertising, many gun manufacturers and gun industry or tactical gear companies are turning to the most effective type of marketing available today; Influencer Marketing.

Jump to Lists:

Top 40 Most Influential on Social Media Today

Top 40 Most Influential on Facebook Today

Top 40 Most Influential on Instagram Today

Top 40 Most Influential on Youtube Today

Top 40 Most Influential on Twitter Today

Influencer Marketing is today’s new buzz word for Celebrity Endorsement or Product Placement. Much like in the past, companies paid radio disc jockeys to do LIVE endorsement ads about a product they use or believe in, today companies are paying social media celebrities and large social media channels to do pretty much the same thing.

Gun Industry Influencer Marketing includes reposting (sharing) branded content, using the product in pictures and video (product placement) and creating content around the product (branded content). Rates vary based on popularity, reach and demand but from what we hear, one of the guys listed below gets over 30k per video.

We have put together the following comprehensive list of Gun Industry Influencers. We asked our fans to nominate influencers. We then sorted the influencers by total fan base on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter. Nominees were solicited on Instagram and Facebook from members of the Danger Close Media Group Network. In choosing the nominees we asked the following questions;

  • Did this social media have a front man/women
  • Did that front man/woman publicly endorse other brand guns, gun parts or tactical gear on their channel(s)
  • Did they have at least a cumulative 25,000 fans, followers and subscribers

This list is NOT based on reach since we do not have access to all the gun industry influencer analytics and reach can vary wildly based on virility of content created. This list and it’s variations are based on total follower, fans, subscribers at the time of the data collection. It should be noted that if an influencer had multiple channels (ie two Instagram pages) those fan bases were added to achieve a total count. For example. Scott Funker owns and runs both Funker Tactical and Funker 530 so the Funker numbers are cumulative. The same goes for an influencer who may have multiple brands on Instagram like Brian Compton aka BC where he runs StrengthPunishes as well as TheBCExperience. In this case both follower counts were added together.

We recognize that when dealing with a list this large, there most definitely will be discrepancies. If you represent one of these influencers and would like to correct data shown below we will entertain those adjustments until the last day of Shot Show 2018 at which time the numbers will become official until 2019. If your adjustment affects the top 10 we will still recognize the influencers below you and nobody will be “pushed out” of the top ranking.

What is Native Advertising?

Posted on by DCG

I’ve written a thorough overview of native advertising on LinkedIn, but let’s look at one example.

For most situations, longer-form native advertising (I’m not talking about Google or Twitter ads) is:

  • A directly paid opportunity – Native advertising is “pay to play.” Brands pay for the placement of content on platforms outside of their own media.
  • Usually information based – The content is useful, interesting, and highly targeted to a specific audience. In all likelihood, it’s not a traditional advertisement directly promoting the company’s product or service.

This is where native advertising looks a bit like content marketing. The information is usually highly targeted (hopefully) and positioned as valuable. But again, in native advertising, you are renting someone else’s content distribution platform (just like advertising), except that you aren’t pimping a product or service.

  • Delivered in stream. The user experience is not disrupted with native advertising because it is delivered in a way that does not impede the user’s normal behavior in that particular channel.

Brands want their native advertising to look as similar as possible to the third-party site’s content. Though the media company wants that too (because it’s easier to sell that way), it also has to put out a multitude of warning labels around the content to make sure the paid placement is 100% transparent.

To summarize, native advertising doesn’t disrupt the user experience and offers helpful information in a format similar to the other content on the site so users engage with it more than they would with, say, a banner ad. (This is good for advertisers, and if the content is truly useful, good for consumers.) In very simple terms, native advertising is one way content marketers can distribute their content.

Create Content According to Buying Cycle

Posted on by DCG

Customers go through the buying cycle before they finally decide to make a purchase, generally following this pattern:

  • Need – Customers are aware they need something, they’re just not 100% sure what it is yet. For example, Shopper A just had his washing machine’s tumbler stop working. It’s a problem that he needs to fix, but he doesn’t know how.
  • Initial research – The customer tries to find a solution. In the case of our friend with the broken washing machine, he’ll probably first look to figure out if a repair will suffice or whether he’ll need to purchase a washing machine replacement. He recognizes a new washer is needed and does research to find a model that fits his budget and offers the best quality for that price.
  • Final research – The customer has found a solution; all that’s left is choosing where to purchase it.
  • Purchase – The customer makes his purchase.

‘Mobilegeddon’ is here! Google will Delete Your Site on 4/21 if not Mobile Friendly

Posted on by DCG

April 21 Is Your Last Chance for Mobile Optimization Before ‘Mobilegeddon’

If You Own a Gun Shop, Shooting Range, or Industry Website Don’t Panic, There is Still Time for us to Help.

According to Google:“Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results.”According to Entrepreneur  Magazine, Aside from a “mobile-friendly” tag associated with various sites in mobile search results, it hasn’t been entirely clear which factors Google considers when calculating mobile rankings or how many sites (or which ones) are currently affected. Because of this, many business owners have postponed or avoided optimizing their sites for mobile devices, and have survived to tell about it.Starting April 21, that’s all going to change.

Scope of the update

If you’re aware that Google already considers mobile usability as part of its ranking calculations, you might wonder why this April 21 deadline, dubbed “mobilegeddon,” is important.It’s true that many of Google’s “updates” are actually just data refreshes and tweaks that hold little bearing on existing search rankings. However, Zineb Ait Bahajji, a member of Google’s Webmaster Trends team, was quoted at SMX Munich as saying that the new mobile-friendly algorithm change will have more of an impact on search rankings than either Panda or Penguin, two of the largest and most impactful search algorithm updates Google has ever launched.Contact us for a free site evaluation and affordable solution.
