This week's idea was shared with us earlier this year by Sylvia Rankin of Agri-Culture USA. We love it and wanted to be sure to pass it along to all of you with Facebook pages. If you don't already have a page, we highly encourage you to consider adding social media to your marketing budget/plan this year...it's without a doubt an increasingly cost-effective and popular way to reach your customers.
"I had a thought about collecting Facebook fans for your farms by printing and distributing handheld paper fans (small ones cost around 21 cents each) at events, parades, festivals, etc.
They could be printed with the farm logo and website -- and the phrase "Be our Fan on Facebook". Imagine seeing a crowd of folks fanning themselves with your Facebook invitation!"
If this is an idea some of you are interested in pursuing, please let us know. We may be able to coordinate a group order to obtain better pricing.
