90-day online marketing plan
Green Valley Farms
Green Valley Farms will turn the weekly harvest into regular online orders by making its box, its trade list and its market pre-orders easy to find on Google and simple to place before a set deadline.
More online orders or bookings · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Build a website with a weekly box page, a season guide, a page for restaurants and shops and an order form, so people who search for a vegetable box or local produce can order from you without a phone call.
Set one order deadline and one harvest and delivery day each week and print them everywhere, because a farm that harvests to orders wastes less and a customer who knows the deadline orders on time.
Turn every market sale into an order for next week with a card in each bag, and turn every chef and shop buyer into a standing order by handing over a sample bag and the week's list.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost

- Show photos of your own fields and harvest, with the name of each crop and the months it is ready.
