260 The TLCF Marketing Formula for Farms
Manage episode 415674262 series 3307093
When I first started learning about farm marketing years ago, there was SO MUCH. I felt overwhelmed. I really wanted a framework to help me stitch it all together and give it a rhyme and a reason. Then, one of my mentors shared an acronym that I found really helpful.
That acronym was: TLC. Here's what it stands for:
T = Traffic L = Leads C = Conversion
I later added the letter "F" for Fulfillment, because I found that this element was one of the key drivers behind customer retention.
Today, I'm going to teach you this TLCF method. The goal is to build a mechanism or system in your farm business for EACH of these areas. When you do, your ideal customers will stream right through and turn into super buyers.
In this episode, I define each of these elements and give you suggested steps for what you should be doing this spring in each area, so that you have them all covered. You can optionally decide to use Farm Marketing School to help you build some of these systems this summer too in my 30 Day project builds.
