Which online channels reach farmers and greenhouse growers?
Growers are online, often on phones in the cab or the greenhouse. The right channel depends on who you're reaching.
- Do growers use social media?
- Is YouTube worth it?
- What about greenhouse managers?
Use YouTube for demos and results, Facebook for local reach and farmer groups, and search for problem and product research. LinkedIn reaches greenhouse owners, technical managers and agribusiness buyers better than it reaches family farms. Ag and greenhouse trade media and newsletters build trust, and podcasts suit long listens. Test small, measure leads by channel and keep what brings qualified buyers.
