Women in Agriculture Feb 21st






February 21, 2015
Making Sense of Marketing
...because everyone has a story that needs
to be told to promote agriculture!

You can now register for the 4th Annual
Women in Agriculture Conference  which offers 
women in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska a
 unique opportunity to gather in 28 locations for a 1-day
 event featuring knowledgeable speakers, inspiring stories
, practical advice for improving farm management skills
 and networking with other women producers.

Have you ever been asked, "Tell me about your farm?"
 It's more important than ever to be able to talk about it
 positively and with passion, no matter what you grow 
 or how you sell it. Join us for an engaging, interactive 
day and learn who your audience is, what they want to
 know about your farm and what tools are best for you.
 Be inspired by our speakers:


Emily Asmus from Welcome Table Farms in 
Walla Walla, WA
A successful and consistent marketing plan is essential
 to being profitable. Emily will showcase how Welcome
 Table Farms keeps their "brand" fresh to build interest
 and loyalty. Learn what tools and techniques are critical
 to their marketing plan.

Erica Mills from Claxon Marketing in Seattle, WA
Every woman can-and should-have a consistently 
compelling way to describe her farm business. Erica
 knows this isn't easy and will help farms of all shapes 
and sizes tackle this tough challenge. Using proven 
tools that have been pressure-tested by thousands of 
users, you'll learn a simple, 3-step marketing method 
and create a Marketing Action Plan that gets you results. 

Mark your calendar and join other women (men are 
also welcome!) to learn, network and be ready to take action!

This conference is designed for women who have
 been farming for years, as well as for new and
 aspiring farmers.
 
Registration fee is $30 but there is a $25 early
