219 How I Engineer Momentum and Energy with My Farm's Customers

Do certain enterprises in your business feel a little stale? It's easy for that to happen, when you put things on auto-pilot and just do stuff the same way over and over again. The downside is that your clients can get bored, and YOU can get bored. That lack of energy translates to your customers. In 2017, I stumbled accidentally onto a path where I began creating "new" projects and content with my clients. I saw an immediate increase in excitement and attention to my brand. I now make it a practice to bring in "new" things to our CSA every year to jazz it up and keep my customers guessing.

In today's podcast, I share my specific "inner-marketing" plan for my CSA season -- what mechanisms I'm using to create hype, momentum, and a spirit of fun. Perhaps you can use some of the ideas I'm sharing in your own farm business somewhere -- even if you don't have a CSA. So get out a legal pad and pen, and take some notes!
