Some weeks ago, we highlighted some procedures as very important in your sales process. These procedures must be adhered to for your process to be effective towards achieving the farm objectives.
As the time for sales draws near, lets review together how far you have gone with your sales process (To help our discussion, let me ask you the following questions) –
- How many people know about your poultry farm and that you have birds to sell at Christmas?
- In your sales plan, where have you identified for your strategic display?
- Have you being putting your cost together to help you determine a price or are you waiting for other farmers to determine your selling price?
There is a lot of work involved in brooding birds which is why I am passionate about you earning the desired profit.
Here are some things that can help your marketing and sales process –
- Take good advantage of time over your “competitor” in the market place – don’t wait till the last minutes to begin your sales process
- Network and develop relationship with potential customers in your area. Good customer service and relationship can lead to repeat business and referrals.
- Ensure your farm produce are of high quality, freshness, proper handling and hygienic packaging to make your product more attractive to their buyers
- Set competitive prices that can encourage customers to buy more
- Invest in attractive and informative packages that highlight the benefits of your produce
- Consider home delivery services to encourage customers purchase without stress
- Regularly seek feedback and act on it for improved customer satisfaction and recommendation
The strategies can help to promote the visibility, attractiveness and sales of your farm produce
