Agricultural marketing is becoming one of the most powerful tools growers and contractors have to solve the day-to-day problems they are facing.
From staffing shortages to building reputation, attracting better clients who bring long-term relationships and revenue, it also helps you stand out in an industry that is going to get more competitive.
Just look at what is happening outside of ag, and when you see that, you will realise why it is going to get competitive quickly.
It is not an internal influence causing it, and we cannot control it.
At Broadacre Contracting, we provide agricultural marketing and videography services built specifically for growers and contractors ranging from cropping to mixed enterprises.
We are not a corporate agency.
We are a team that has been around ag for years and has spent a lot of time in the paddock.
Our team consists of former farmhands, marketers with 10+ years of experience, and videographers with 7+ years behind the lens.
We also offer a verified online directory that connects growers and contractors directly, like a grower needing 3 headers for harvest, custom websites, mobile apps and coding services.
But none of that is what makes us different.
In this yarn, I am going to explain why agricultural marketing is becoming essential for growers and contractors, why it is being used now, how it actually solves real problems, and why we would love the opportunity to prove ourselves and build a long-term relationship with you.
So before we dive in, if you want help building your reputation, showcasing your standards and growing your business through agricultural marketing and videography, give Dillon a buzz on 0439 300 380 from 6am to 9pm.
We would love to have a yarn.
Marketing has always been more of a corporate tool.
We have never really seen it utilised by growers and contractors as such.
But as times change, we start to deal with issues that were not there in the past, and naturally, we all look for new tools to resolve them.
Agricultural marketing is now a tool that is viable and starting to really be required.
We feel the reason is broad but easily explained.
If you want to see how we tell real ag stories, have a look at Talking Gear Tuesday.
Simply put, to solve new problems.
Staffing is a bloody good example.
Finding staff is hard, finding quality staff is even harder, and then maintaining those quality staff members over the long term is a whole different challenge again.
But it is not just staff.
Growers and contractors are also using agricultural marketing to build their reputation, showcase their standards, attract better clients, and stand out in an industry that is going to be more competitive than ever.
Our growers and contractors have identified agricultural marketing as the tool to really solve most of those day-to-day problems.
The best part is, once it is set up right, it keeps working for them in the background.
So how does agricultural marketing actually solve these problems?
Let us get into it.
I said some time ago in a yarn post that you want the staff to come to you, not you going to them.
The reason I bring it up here is that it is so true.
Marketing plays a huge part and creates the required flow, but it is what you put in position beforehand that will really lead to the solid outcomes.
Let us break that tongue stretcher down.
Firstly, why is it better for staff to come to you rather than you going to them?
If you set standards, culture and desire into your business and broadcast those 3 categories, you will see a flock of staff come to you.
The reason is that people want to be involved in a business with a reputation for doing good work and achieving outcomes.
Having that flow out there will not just lead a flock of staff to you, it will also lead a high-quality workforce to you.
You will find you have just tapped into a high-quality workforce that, at some point, seemed not to exist and did not appear through other methods.
Hopefully, I have explained that part clearly enough, as I tend to end up down the old rabbit warren, but still get to the point.
So, I have explained why it is better for staff to come to you, and now I need to clear up how marketing achieves those styles and outcomes for you.
Marketing is essentially your voice, your expectations and your culture being translated out to the general public through modern-day communication.
That modern-day communication is social media channels in content formats.
This world we live in now is very different.
We are transitioning into tech and social media; the way we do things and the way we communicate is very different.
We used to rely on our ears more than our eyes. Now we rely on our eyes more than our ears.
What I am saying is, we used to talk more, but now we watch more.
So after all my gibberish, marketing is your communication tool to enable the flow and your voice.
That is how marketing works and solves problems.
We do not push ourselves or anyone who reaches out to us into a sale.
We feel the best setup is to let it naturally happen.
What we will say is our team consists of members who spent years on the ground working as farmhands.
We have team members who have worked in marketing for 10 plus years, and we have team members who have worked in videography for 7 plus years.
Our team comes from all different places to create a service that is needed and wanted.
That is all we will say here, the rest is best done over a yarn.
