Networking, the old fashioned way, is the ‘heart’ of NAFDMA but we want to learn new tricks

Social Marketing was THE hot topic this year. I haven’t seen our industry this hyped-up in years. They wanted to know what they were missing and how to catch up. What did we learn? What should business do now?

Do a search of your business on  www.flickr.com to see what pictures have been posted. Mary Vollmer of Vollmer Farm did this after the presentation. There were 394 pictures taken at her farm posted on Flickr . Some were amazing. All told a story.  Is it the right story? Businesses need to know what image you have on the web.
 
Search www.youtube.com  to see what videos people have posted from your business. Some farms have started using viral marketing to spread the word about their events. They post videos on youtube that can be shared. This video was created by Saunders’ Farm to promote their Fall Haunting Season on the farm. This video was created to spoof a popular song and features a character from the Haunting Season at Saunders’ Farm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBOmPvsWgRA&feature=related
