In 2002 google announced it would not allow advertising of guns or firearms in its search results. Yahoo, Bing, and others have followed suite. This has relegated would be online advertisers in the firearms industry to place ads on individual sites (many of which are blogs) hoping to receive a return on their investment.
At a gunshow, patrons are looking (browsing) for the newest items, and some for the oldest items, available: from guns to accessories of all sort, price and color. Businesses set up their booths and tables with their fare to demonstrate the quality of their service and merchandise. Advertisers know the audience coming in the door is looking for information and patrons know the advertisers will be of interest if not exactly what they came to see. But where does this exist online?
GunView.com was launched to provide users with the ability to quickly search the top online dealers and brokers inventories for the Glock, Ruger, or Browning they are looking for. Users can revisit recent searches to see what inventory has changed from day to day and have an opportunity to see ads for items of interest such as duck hunting or reloading.
Finally gun enthusiasts have a place to search for firearms and the like and the industry has a place to unobtrusively advertise to their perfect audience, the people who actually use their fare. Gun View will further the process in showing you the “booths” of advertisers that cater to your interests.
