234 The Three Most Powerful Words in Farm Marketing
Manage episode 380832241 series 3307093
When you talk about your farm products, are you making a nice, bullet-point list of features that come with your product? Things like:
- certified organic by USDA
- grass-fed, regeneratively-raised
- locally-sourced
- raw and unfiltered
That's great, but that may not be enough.
The problem with just focusing on features in our marketing is that we (as the salesperson) have assumed that the customer has a level of understanding he/she simply doesn’t have. From the inside looking out, we think, “Everyone knows why it matters that my honey is unfiltered!”
My friends, they don't.
Which is why, you need to learn 3 very powerful words that will immediately transform this list of features into a list of BENEFITS. When you start using these 3 words in your marketing, you'll begin to show your customers what's in it for them.
You need to answer the question: "So what that your honey is raw and unfiltered?..."
You want to know what these 3 words are?...
Listen to this episode to find out, and hear lots of examples for how to use them in farm marketing.
See if it helps you increase your sales.
