Marketing of Christmas trees
and ornamentals has always been
an important tool that many
growers do not use appropriately.
With the slowing economy,
and in response to a slower
Christmas tree and ornamental
market, many growers are now
faced with having to learn to market
their products to effectively
sustain their businesses. The
Mitchell County Extension Center
will be offering two marketing
workshops to help give growers
tips on improving their marketing
skills. Some of the topics to be
addressed include:
▪ Core Components of a
Marketing Plan
▪ How to Target a New Market
▪ Evaluating a Wholesale
Marketing Plan
▪ Getting to Know Your
Customers
Reminder, the workshops will be
held on March 30 & April 6, beginning
at 6:30 p.m. Please make
plans to participate in these beneficial
workshops.
