[AlpacaTalk] Does Your Business Need to Sell More Animals

 

Her business was hurting!  She had not sold an animal in way too long.  The very existence of her farm was now in question.  She contacted Beyond the Sidewalk as a last resort.  It was easy to hear the frustration and discouragement in her voice.

 

She is not unique. The economy has frustrated and discouraged many with small farms.  They often believe no one can sell animals in this climate. 

 

 After a small investment in books and audio CD's, Sarah started marketing differently, within months had sold the animals she had for sale with a plan in place to build on that success.

 

How did she do it?  Marketing is the key.  Marketing can be learned.  There are well defined steps and strategies that got her attracting customers.

 

But that's not all.  The most surprising thing for Sarah is that she discovered she enjoyed marketing!  The not-knowing-what-to-do was what had intimidated her.

[AlpacaTalk] Whose Business Are You Building?

 

The most important asset you can have for selling your
alpacas is your own website and a list of the people who
visit it.

If you collect the names of your visitors, you can then
follow up over a period of time, building a relationship,
and eventually leading to sales.

Unfortunately, most farms are not doing this – instead
they are building the relationship for AlpacaNation, by
directing their buyers to that site.  Not only do they lose
the ability to interact with their potential buyers, but they
also send them to an environment with hundreds of other
farms offering alpacas for sale.  Does that make sense?

Of course it doesn’t.

A professionally designed, search engine optimized,
website is essential for any farm seriously interested in
marketing.  It is the only way to differentiate your farm
from all the others, and to collect the names and email
addresses of your visitors.

And if you have a website and you’re not capturing email
addresses, you’re throwing money away.

If you would like a free review of your site’s effectiveness
and ideas on how to improve it, or information on having
a professional website designed for you, email me for
details.
