What does it say on your website?
I know it's easy to get bogged down - so many
things to do - but I urge you not to put your website
on the back burner.
Imagine what it says to your customers when they
check your website to see if the corn is ready, and
your website still says "We are closed for the
winter."
If you update your website yourself, do it!
If you have a web designer provide your updates,
keep him informed!
If you are not getting good service or you are still
not happy with the look of your website, then I urge
you to call us at
Eckert
AgriMarketing.
Our job is making your
website
updates "pain free" for you, and effective for your
customers.
Let us do your website - so you can keep harvesting
and selling.
Fall Season is coming soon,
and
literally thousands of people will use the Internet to
choose what maze, what pumpkin patch, or what
mum shop to visit! If your not there, they may not
be heading your way this fall!

 The Fall Season is fast approaching. For those of us in the agritourism business, we know that this can be the largest revenue season of the year. Just ask those folks who are only open for October and corn mazes.
It's something about the fall weather, back to school and the starting of the gridiron that seems to attract people to our farms that may not come out any other time of year.
You can maximize the revenue from the fall season in a number of ways:
- Product variety- Pumpkins, painted pumpkins, gourds, squash, mums, Indian corn, etc.
- Fall food specialties- Donuts, cider, funnel cakes, kettle corn, brats, and apples are all “fall on the farm” favorites
- Fall activities- count the fun! Wagon rides, bonfires, pony rides, mazes, and pig races are major fun, and participation games include contests, puppet making, pumpkin sling, costume contests, and much more.
If you are still looking for fall suppliers of products, you might want to check out our Eckert AgriMarketing's Buyers Guide.

While it's too late for you to strike up a deal with the Red Sox to cut a maze I thought you'd like to see what Charlie Peavey in Corinna, Maine has done to attract publicity. He's betting on a home run and I'm sure it will happen with the early coverage that he has already received.
Farm Maze is Heaven for Red Sox Fans
