Marketing your Food Products
Release 1 - An Introduction
First let me give you a quick introduction to myself.
I have been involved in marketing since 1984 (way before the technology boom) initially within the Financial sector, then in Hospitality eventually leading to the ownership and management of a restaurant.
I am now retired but remain intent on using the skills I have learnt to assist the food community members that are committed to sustainable practices to care for our environment
The best way I can assist is in helping the farmers get their products in front of consumers to compete with the huge budgets of the Supermarket chains.
We can all play a part, it costs nothing but some time for you or someone within your family to keep your digital profiles up to date.
Let me Introduce you to Sourced Club
Over the next week or so I will be posting additional releases that will provide more detail of how Source Club can improve the business for Farmers, Manufacturers, Distributors, Retail Outlets and Consumers.
This post is an overview to explain the concept and expel any fear that it is another scheme that will cost you money.
Being involved in Retail 10-15 years ago I went through the introduction of Social Media such as Facebook – which started off as a great tool to reach potential customers and became a costly business expense as they altered their pages to ensure that you paid to get the “reach” that was once provided free
What they don’t mention is that for an Industry that is focused on a local area, the technology we have will do the job quite nicely. You see we have the reach – Our Business Partners (Suppliers, Processing Facilities, Farmers Markets and Consumers) who, in most cases, have their own digital presence. We just have to link them – smartly
The Sourced Club Platform provides that smart, free Landing Page for all participants to standardize the display to meet the needs of the greater community.
The page provides:
1. Provision to tell your story
2. Provides one-click Links to your Web Site and/or Social Media platforms
3. Provides one-click Links to your Business Partners
4.Has a locations and directions access to Google Maps
5. Provides access to tags when the general Public use search options
6. No Duplication – The App is one URL for Local, Regional, State, Country or even International access to avoid duplication of information and ease of access
If you would like to have a preview of the App follow this link . Feel free to reach out in the comments section or email me directly at ritzypete1oc@gmail.com
