Marketing for Profit: You Are What They THINK You Are! Selling The Product

December 17, 2013

Marketing for Profit: You Are What They THINK You Are! Selling The Product

With: Dave Bellso, DesignWorks Advertising 
Free Webinar Series 

The Farmers Market Federation of NY and the NY Farm Viability Institute have partnered with USDA Northeast SARE to present a series of webinars on marketing: "Marketing for Profit: Tools for Success." These webinars have been designed with the assistance of regional and national marketing experts to provide critical marketing insights for farmers and farm markets throughout the northeast. The webinars are free, approximately an hour and a half long, and easy to access with a basic internet connection. This winter, 6 webinars will be held and interested participants are encouraged to register TODAY for the webinars they want to attend. 

The Marketing for Profit: Tools for Success webinar series will give farmers the information and tools they need to excel at direct marketing their farm products. It will also provide curriculum, presentations and handouts to Cooperative Extension Educators and other farm service educators to help their farmers master key marketing concepts that will bring greater success and more profits to their farms than ever before. 

Marketing encompasses a broad array of efforts all aimed at identifying your market and customers, satisfying your customers and maintaining your customers long term. It includes all marketing channel selections and business decisions, what to grow or produce and how it will be produced; i.e. conventional, organic, bio-dynamic or some amalgam of these; how you choose to make products available, how product is presented to the public, how you present your business, advertising and promotions, signage, pricing strategy, and so on. Marketing is complex and is often the most misunderstood and least successful part of many farm businesses. 

The series includes coverage of 5 categories of marketing concepts spanning three years: Self-Assessment, Market Assessment, Customer Assessment, Communications Assessment and Business Assessment. Each Assessment encompasses a series of 3 webinars. The winter season of 2013-14 will focus on Communications and Business Assessment. In these sessions you will learn key concepts in effective communications with your customers and presenting your product for maximum profits. You will also learn to identify key customer characteristics and how to use the information to better present your products and your business. One session will prepare you to weather a crisis and come out stronger than ever. Finally, the last session will help you to track all the data you have gathered throughout the process of developing your business and marketing plans and use this information to help you make critical business decisions. 

These are just a sample of the skills and knowledge to be gained through this season's Marketing for Profit: Tools for Success webinar series. Each webinar will be repeated twice to maximize opportunity to participate.
