My Digital Farmer | Marketing Strategies for Farmers
It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food? One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse. In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I’ll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn’t just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who...

Are you charging enough for your farm products or services? Recently, I was on a coaching call with a farmer who ran a wedding event space on their farm. They were booked solid for over a year—yet hadn’t raised their prices in years. That’s a major sign they could (and should) charge more. The truth is, most farmers hesitate to raise prices because they’re afraid of losing customers. But what if I told you that keeping your prices too low could actually be hurting your business? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down five key signs that it’s time to increase your prices—and how...

Is your farm’s sales funnel doing a great job of bringing in first-time customers—but then dropping the ball when it comes to getting them to buy again? I recently coached a farmer who sells grass-fed chicken, pork, and beef by the cut, along with farm bundles and beef shares. He had an amazing sales funnel that was driving leads and converting first-time buyers like clockwork. But here’s the catch he had no system in place to encourage repeat buying. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I told this farmer to focus on next to boost his AOV and order frequency—and I’ll give...

March 26, 2025 A few weeks ago, my farmer friend Glen Young (shoutout to Glen!) sent me a message: "Hey, Corinna—did you know your website pop-up isn’t popping anymore?" Uh-oh. Turns out, something had changed inside (my email service provider), and I needed to go behind the scenes to tweak a few settings. That pop-up is one of the biggest drivers of email signups for my farm, so I was SO grateful he caught the issue before it went unnoticed for too long. This got me thinking—how many farmers have a lead magnet set up but aren’t actually promoting it in the right places? Or worse,...

Do your farm sales feel unpredictable? Are you waiting and hoping customers will buy, instead of creating intentional sales spikes? Imagine if you could forecast your revenue and know exactly when your next big influx of sales was coming. That’s the power of Marketing Peaks—planned, high-energy sales events that create urgency, drive customer action, and help you hit your revenue targets. Most farmers don’t realize that retail businesses (including big brands) strategically map out four or more marketing peaks every year—and your farm should be doing this too. But how do you find your...

It's our 300th episode!! Wow. Can I make a confession?... I didn't realize this important milestone moment until 10 days ago. And by then, it was too late. I realized I had missed my chance to make this moment a "Big Deal" and build momentum for my brand. There were SO many things I could have done with this episode!... invited a special interview guest, held a giveway, gotten a round-table of farmers who have coached with me to hear their transformative stories, or "looked back" at where I've been. So I decided to turn this into a learning opportunity for all of us. I'm "going meta" as we use...

Ever walk down the grocery store aisle and find yourself drawn to a beautifully curated lineup of products—like a collection of specialty salts, seasonal spice blends, or a limited-edition flavor series? There's something about seeing a set of related products that makes you want to collect them all. Now, imagine applying this concept to your farm business. In this episode, I’m diving into how "collections" can be a game-changer in your farm marketing strategy. Collections tap into buyer psychology, make your products feel more exclusive, and encourage repeat purchases. They also simplify...
info_outlineAI has now hit the marketing space. And if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, I'm about to make a case that you should. In today's episode, I introduce you to "ChatGPT" -- a machine learning tool that is a cross between Google Search, Siri, and your own personal copywriter. I'm sharing how it works and walking through 10+ use cases where this tool can make the process of writing your marketing assets SO MUCH EASIER and faster.
I also had a moment of inspiration while I was recording the show. I've created a 5-Day ChatGPT Challenge, delivered over email. This challenge will be a fun way to learn how to play in the sandbox of ChatGPT.
Here's how it will work:
- Subscribe to the Challenge here. www.mydigitalfarmer.com/AI That will trigger a daily email for 5 days in a row. (The first email will also include a DEMO VIDEO of me using the tool.)
- Subscribe to ChatGPT here. (It's free!)
- Each day, I'll give you a specific question to put into the ChatGPT query box. You'll see what it generates. That's it. That's all you have to do. After 5 days, you'll have a pretty good idea of different prompts you can use.
I PROMISE you... you'll immediately see the implications for how this can help you in your marketing. My daily email will also include a short paragraph highlighting the implications of how to use the response you see from ChatGPT in your marketing assets moving forward.
