Time To Grow...Your Marketing

Winds of Change?  Or Just Data about Marketing Your Farm?

It sometimes feels as if marketing your farm is like trying to control the weather.  Just when you think you have the right timing, conditions change.  The technology to monitor it gets more complicated, despite having more information at your fingertips.  The good news?  At least we have experts to help.  I'm not going to make any digs at meteorologists (I actually thought about being one when I was younger!), but I am going to say that marketing experts are able to make sense of the tornado of ever changing conditions.

There’s something truly special that happens when passionate people gather with a shared purpose — and that magic was on full display at the 2026 NAFDMA Convention & Expo in Orlando. From the moment everyone arrived, the energy, connection, learning, laughter, and heartfelt conversations reminded us why this community is so powerful. On behalf of the entire NAFDMA team, THANK YOU for showing up, leaning in, sharing openly, and making this year’s convention one of our most meaningful yet.

Too often, unique, high-value seasonal items remain lost on shelves, unable to compete with the sheer volume of surrounding jars and packages in a sea of monotony. Identify one " sleeper product " each season—a special jam, a gourmet baking mix, a heritage squash variety—and give it the dedicated display it deserves. The Opportunity: When you isolate a single item and present it powerfully, you create exclusivity, rarity, and urgency . This strategy focuses the customer's buying energy on a high-margin, seasonally relevant star . Actionable Tip: Create a monumental feature display for that one product, ideally placed at the store entrance or in a highly trafficked area. Use dramatic height, premium signage that tells the product’s unique story (e.g., "The Forgotten Heirloom: Our Great-Grandmother's Winter Squash"), and focused lighting . On a smaller scale, highlighting a niche item on a dedicated, small table can raise awareness and encourage impulse buying. By giving a single product this "shout-out" moment, you transform it from a commodity on a shelf into a must-have seasonal treasure .
