# Your Customers Have Trail-Tested Proof. Let Them Share It.

Prospects want to know if your gear handles real conditions — not lab tests. Rain on a three-day hike. Freezing temperatures at altitude. Miles of daily use over months. Connect them with owners who’ve put it through its paces.

## The Trail Decides. Not the Product Page.

“Does the waterproofing hold up after a year?” “How heavy is it REALLY for a long hike?” “Is it worth the premium over [competitor]?” “How does it pack for travel?” These questions need someone who’s been there — literally.

## Prospects Find Owners in Their Terrain

Your advocate map lets prospects find real gear owners — filtered by activity, region, or product. A prospect planning a Pacific Crest section finds someone who’s done it with your pack on their back.

## Field-Tested Conversations

Prospects text real owners — asking about durability after hundreds of miles, layering systems in specific climates, and the honest trade-offs vs. alternatives. Photos from actual trips, not product shoots. Private SMS, fully authentic.

## Outdoor Gear Brand FAQs

Common questions from premium outdoor gear brands.

01
## Our gear is used in extreme conditions. Does SMS work for that?

The conversations happen before and after trips, not during. Prospects research before buying — that’s when they text your advocates. Owners share photos, advice, and honest reviews from the comfort of home. 90% of advocacy conversations are messaging-only.

02
## Our customers are spread across different climates and terrains.

That’s the advantage. A prospect in the Pacific Northwest finds an advocate who hikes in rain. A desert hiker finds someone who’s tested heat performance. Geographic diversity in your advocate base means better matches for everyone.

03
## We already have a strong social media community.

Great — that means you have advocates ready to activate. The difference is Stoked puts those conversations on your own site, tied directly to purchase intent, with full attribution tracking. Social posts inspire. Direct conversations convert.

04
## How do we handle seasonal products?

Tag advocates by season, activity, or product line. Your prospect shopping for a winter jacket connects with someone who’s worn it through a real winter — not someone reviewing it in August.
