Yes, I realize that it is still the first week of January, but it is time to be thinking about marketing product. Which, in this case, we are talking about goats. As a breeder, you have to be thinking ahead. Ask yourself questions. <\/p>\n
1–Have my past marketing strategies worked?<\/p>\n
2–Am I leaving money on the table?<\/p>\n
3–Are my show goats ending up in good hands?<\/p>\n
4–How do I expand my market?<\/p>\n
5–Am I happy with what I have been doing?<\/p>\n
6–What other options are available?<\/p>\n
7–Who can help me improve my market(s)?<\/p>\n
I don’t care how big of a breeder or how big of a reputation a breeder has, each operation needs to continually answer these questions and then act accordingly.<\/p>\n
I can tell people how to do things, but I am really qualified to tell you how NOT to do things. I do know that a breeder must have an online presence. This doesn’t mean that you have online sales; it means prospective customers can find your program on the internet. Ads tied to high traffic sites. A well developed website. And a page amongst the socially transmitted disease known as Facebook. If you don’t know how, don’t have time or the desire, get help. It is money well spent. <\/p>\n
Know what your goals are? If it is about $s, talk to people that are cashing checks. Like everything else in this world, this advice might have a price tag but sometimes you have to spend money to make money. If it is about hanging banners & gathering pics at the backdrop then identify proven feeders, take less $s for the goat and hope the animal turns out.<\/p>\n
Remember, Banners & Backdrops lead to $s! Of course, there is a flip side. As a buyer, where am I going to go to spend my $s to try to win Banners & Backdrops.<\/p>\n
Keep warm and take care of the stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
