THE ‘PROPER COOL’ JUGGERNAUT: How one online trader has transformed arms fairs

from Gun News Australia: the latest news for Aussie shooters · host Politics Reloaded - real news for Aussie shooters

GUN TRADERS AUSTRALIA (GTA) has achieved something remarkable in the Australian firearms industry. What started as a modest platform advertising just 30-40 used guns has exploded into one of Australia's leading firearms trading networks, hitting its 5 year growth target in less than 3 years. Their website has now reached an incredible milestone of 6.3 million views, cementing their position as an industry leader. IN THIS EPISODE, we explore how GTA is raising the professionalism of the gun trade across Australia. They've transformed gun fairs from simple "swap meets" into professional events, and becoming the major sponsor of gun shows in Queensland. Their efforts have resulted in record-breaking attendance at events like the Beenleigh Arms Fair, with unprecedented numbers of vendors and visitors. GTA continues to innovate with their VIP Program – an Australian first designed to help dealers struggling with low foot traffic. When customers join their email list, they’ll receive a pack that will include exclusive in-store promotions and discounts with participating dealers - creating a win-win ecosystem for buyers and sellers alike. PLUS, we touch on GTA’s Women Who Hunt Podcast, the growing presence of women in shooting sports (who often make better shooters because they listen to instruction!), and Carly's impressive sponsorship achievements. Check out The Woman Who Hunt Podcast by clicking here. There's even a quick look at the Bathurst Motor Museum – and a bit more reminiscing on the Leyland Brothers! Join us as we uncover how Gun Traders Australia is revolutionising arms fairs and customer service in the Australian market. -------------------------------------------------------------- GET EARLY RELEASES!
