Act now to become part of the single source directory for all farms, ranches, wineries and agritourism enterprises in North America, RuralBounty.com.
Soon, we will begin inviting North American travelers to visit RuralBounty.com, advertising in many different ways and venues to attract the public. But the fact is, they are not going to find your farm if you don't take the time to create your member listing!
Here's what RuralBounty.com is all about: The public can search and find your farm by geographic regions, types of foods, types of activities, types of animals or environments, and by the dates that they plan to travel. We brought that all together into one website that embraces the entire bounty of the rural countryside.
Basic Membership:
· Full Web page with your name, contact information, link to your website, a description you write yourself, and a listing from more than 500 products and activities you may be offering on your farm.
· List 2 events at a time in our North American Calendar of Farm and Ranch Events.
· Update your information at any time · Annual fee Only $45-less than most classified ads!
Premier Membership:
· Add an in-depth description
· Add two photographs
· Priority listing on all Rural Bounty searches
· Up to 4 event listings at a time on the Events Calendar!
· Update your information at any time · Premier Membership only $125 per year.
We've built the meeting place where the public can come and find your farm. But it is up to you to register and give the public the information.
Go to www.ruralbounty.com. Then click on the button that says "List Your Farm" and our online wizard will walk you quickly through the membership process. It's easy, it's fast, it's very inexpensive, and it works. We accept all major credit cards.

August 2008
 I recently spoke in Mitchell, South Dakota, and had the opportunity to take a tour of the Corn Palace. There, I found a new food product that took my fancy. It's called the "Caramel Cob" a soft n'chewy caramel popcorn shaped as an ear of corn.
The product comes with a great retail package display case. I called the manufacturer, Kathy Kaye Foods, once I got home to learn more.  The Caramel Cob is individually packaged, 18 to a carton with a 45 carton minimum purchase. If you'd like to learn about the pricing and order the Caramel Cob for your fall season, just contact Tom Fecteau at his email address: kathykayefoods@msn.com.
I've never before really showcased a particular product in my email newsletter, but this one seems like such a winner that I wanted you to "corn-sider" the opportunity. Just let Tom know that you heard about the "Caramel Cob" from me because I'm wanting him to attend the NAFDMA trade show in 2009.
Does your website always appear on the first page of a Google Search when someone puts in keywords relevant to  your farm, such as "corn maze Illinois?" If not, you need to put the Internet to work for you so your farm is guaranteed first page placement-whether or not a person knows your domain name.
If you are tired of your farm listing showing up on the 2nd, 3rd, or even 6th page in the searches, let Eckert AgriMarketing prepare a proposal for you. Our new service will place your listing as a Sponsored Link on the right hand  column of the very first page. The sponsored links in the right column DO work, and we can make them work for you!
A farm marketing budget not only needs to include a website, but consideration also needs to be given to online advertising. Let the farm experts at Eckert AgriMarketing manage your online account. CALL Jane today for a FREE ESTIMATE (314) 862-6288.
Note: we will only accept one client with keywords in a geo-targeted area. When we work for you, we won't be working for your competitors.
