SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Red Mat Media, leaders in mobile app creation, custom print, digital and mobile marketing solutions; and Babe Winkelman and Babe Winkelman Productions, creators, producers and host of "Good Fishing" and "Outdoor Secrets" and leaders in the outdoors industry, are pleased to announce their joint project in launching the Babe Winkelman Productions.
Mobile App for Apple iOS and Android platforms. The Babe App is set to launch November 1, 2016.
Red Mat Media, creators of the BizAppTM and other custom apps for businesses, has created a unique and powerful mobile platform showcasing custom content such as "Meet The Winkelmans", a fun reality-based show unique to the Babe App. It also contains a preview of Babe The Music Man, a side to Babe never before seen by his audience on NBC Sports. Babe's new app will also include a daily video message, fishing and hunting tips and trophies, and gives users the chance to "Ask Babe" their questions and have Babe give a video answer to be featured in the app. The Babe App also includes insider content from Babe, Kris, and Karlee, and even the Winkelman's dog Fritz.
"I take great pride in teaching America to hunt and fish, and I've been doing it since the 1980s", said Babe Winkelman. "Our new Babe App will give new insights to our current audience, and expand our viewership as users now have the ability to take us out in the boat or up on the mountain in this virtual and socially connected
world."
"This fun and unique app will be a great on-the-go resource for hunters and fishers of all ages", says Tim Lyon, CEO of Red Mat Media. "Access to great tips and information is available through streaming video, or can be downloaded to watch even at the very most remote locations. It's like having Babe, Kris, and Karlee at camp with you." There is a lot of great content in the
free version, and subscribers who become "Babe Insiders" will have daily video emails, behind the scenes content and unique programming only available through the Babe App. Babe Insiders will be eligible for contest entries and submitting to "Ask Babe" to have their personal questions answered by Babe too. At just $4.99 a month, it is well worth the price to have the chance at valuable and unique content and messaging from Babe and his team.
"Having grown up in the Rocky Mountains camping, hunting and fishing with my family, I love the perspective that Kris and Karlee give to women in the Babe App", said Laura Guthrie, Executive Director at Red Mat. "This isn't just for the guys, the Babe App has amazing things for us girls too! With the coming holiday season, my husband, my daughter and my brothers are getting a great gift this year when I get them the Babe Insider subscription through their app store."
The Babe App will also feature contests and prizes and showcase sponsors of outdoor products, and can be very profitable to their sponsoring organizations. "We are pleased to be working with Red Mat Media, leaders in innovative mobile technology solutions. Our Sponsors will be thrilled to be featured in the Babe App, making available great gear, products and information to support users in their outdoor pursuits" said Dave Erdly, head of
Business Development at Babe Winkelman Productions. Some of Babe's current programming sponsors include Remington, Honda Boat Motors, Johnsonville Sausages, Polar Kraft, and Seth McGinn's Can Cooker, just to name a few.
The Babe App will launch on November 1, 2016, and will be available through Apple App Store and Google Play Store for Android. A Free version is available, and users can subscribe for custom and unique content by becoming a "Babe Insider" for just $4.99 per month through in-app purchase.
