You’ve probably heard me say it before: it’s all about relationship marketing. And one of my favorite ways to build these relationships is with a geographic farm.
Farming will not only boost your business, but when done right, could make you the most popular person in your community. I sat down with Monica Carr to discuss how she built her farm into what it is today and how you can build yours. Imagine having people line up to get on your mailing list!
Watch or listen, and you’ll understand why any consumer would be thrilled in live in Monica’s farm and take part in her community events.
