Magnet Marketing – Drawing Alpaca Prospects to Your Farm Until They
Buy

need to create the niche you want for your alpaca business and to draw
prospects interested in your alpacas. Learn essential marketing steps that

prospects want to know more, and methods for cost-effectively mixing

Cybersizzle –
Effective Website and Email Marketing
Seven seconds. That’s how long you
have to capture the attention of a visitor surfing websites as they
investigate becoming an alpaca breeder and choose farms to visit. The
impression your website gives visitors will determine whether they stay
there and take action, or click off and move on. Does your website
merely educate visitors or does it generate inquiries from prospective
buyers? What are the secrets to getting the best results from email
marketing? How can it more effectively help you market your unique niche
and entice prospects to contact you? This seminar highlights the advice
of electronic marketing experts and gives you tips on creating
“Cybersizzle” for your alpaca business.
Pull ‘Em In and Toss ‘Em Out -–
Creating Print Ads That Grab Attention and Generate Response
Does your print advertising generate
the response you want? If not, your ads may be missing key elements that can
generate prospect inquiries well worth the cost of ad design and placement.
Learn how to create and place ads that capture attention, hold readers
there, and toss them into action. Find out how to test your own ads so they
persuade as well as inform. Advertising is a big ticket item in most
breeders’ marketing budget. This seminar will help you get the most bang for
your print advertising buck!
Developing an Effective Farm Brochure
Your farm brochure can be a valuable marketing tool
or an expensive waste of time and resources. How do you develop a brochure that

what to include, effective design and printing tips, ways to use it, and the
keys to generating more prospect action from your brochure.
Marketing Alpacas
On Land and On-Line
For
some breeders, marketing can be an unnerving part of the alpaca business. This
information-packed presentation gives breeders the answers to questions, such
as, - "What are the most effective marketing steps to take to build my
farm's image and begin to sell alpacas?" - "Where can I get the most
marketing bang for my buck?" - "How can I make my ranch website an
effective marketing tool for generating inquiries from prospective buyers?"
Audiences learn ways to cost-effectively make a small farm have a big presence,
how to prioritize marketing activities when you have little time and limited
budget, and how to maximize both traditional and on-line marketing efforts. This
course is a must for both new and established breeders.
Contacts to Contracts -
How to Covert Farm/Ranch Visits Into Alpaca Sales
From the inquiry
call to the end of a farm visit, the impression you make on a prospective
alpaca buyer will impact whether or not they decide to buy from you. When
presented in 60 - 90 minutes, this seminar focuses on the three key elements
in converting more qualified farm visitors into buyers. In the half –day
version of this seminar, you’ll learn how to convert inquiry calls or emails
into farm visits, techniques for turning farm visits into sales, and follow
up techniques that can help you effectively capture the sales your
competitors let slip away. If you’re serious about selling your alpacas,
this seminar is a must!
Making Good Publicity Work Marketing Magic

publicity is one of the most cost-effective marketing techniques an alpaca

positive publicity for your farm or fiber store, and how to use that

good media relations. This program includes select techniques such as how to
