MARKETING

Before venturing into poultry and any other business, marketing and sales is one thing that should not be overlooked.

Good marketing strategies that influences the profit from your business.

As a poultry farmer, you should not be too caught up with the operations of your business so much that you now neglect the sales aspect. If you ask me, I would say that the sales and marketing is even more important if you are not rearing chickens for family consumption. If you are into poultry farming to earn profits, then you must pay attention to the marketing aspects of this business.

Let's talk on a good marketing strategy that will influence profit from our poultry business

There are some of the methods that you can use as a poultry farmer to increase sales and expand your income from your poultry business
Let's focus on few ways for now in other to have more customers and sales in our poultry business

Take your business online -: Everybody hangs around the internet these days. A large percentage of people make use of the internet around the world daily and if you want your business to thrive, you cannot close your eyes to the internet. Your social media account is a very good place to promote your business and increase awareness for your products.

Create Facebook page, WhatsApp group, Twitter, Instagram and other social media. Make use of them to advertise your products, find a good camera, take a nice shot of your birds and upload for sales.

We can see scam all over the internet now and people don't want to trust farmers because of the way some people are abusing the use of online business

Always watch out for faithful and sincere customers who are willing and ready to patronize your business. Also have a good communication skills and know how to convince customer to go for your products ( poultry birds and eggs).

By-passing the middlemen -: Most poultry farmers rely on middlemen to help sell their products. They sell in bulk to other people who in turn sell to the consumers. If you want to sell faster, then you should sell both in wholesale and retail.

You can sell in retail quantities if you have your own sales outlet. Look for a good location to rent a store and then use it to stock products from your farm so that in addition to selling to wholesalers, you can also sell to retailers. (YOU MAKE MORE PROFIT USING THIS METHOD,THIS IS MY ADOPTED METHOD )

Become a supplier -: Write a brilliant proposal with clearly thought out incentives that you can offer and send it to managers of hotels and restaurants even noodles sellers all over the street at nights. Offer to be their major supplier of poultry meat and eggs.

Note:- A lot of hotels and restaurants already have people supplying them, so you should think of how to outsmart these people by offering mouthwatering incentives.

Hotels and restaurants always have foods with poultry meat or foods made with eggs on their menu and they have to get their eggs from somewhere.
You can help them have access to a regular supply of fresh eggs without stress.

Employ Marketers -: Marketers? For a poultry farm ? That's funny! Yes, marketers for your poultry farm can increase your sales by more than 30%. Just employ some commission based marketers who would earn a certain percentage from the sales they make.

Have your Process line :- Don’t just stop at selling to other companies to package; nothing stops you from having your own dressing room too where you can process, package and brand your own birds for sales and supply. (THIS IS A GOLD MINE)

Market Research :-Another way by which you can increase sales of your poultry products is by carrying out marketing research regularly. When you do so, you would be able to have a clear idea of what your customer’s want, areas where there is insufficient supply of products and things you can do to improve the quality of products you offer your customers.

Feed your Birds well -: When you feed your birds well, they produce big and good quality eggs which are what the consumers want. If you want your products to be top choice for consumers, then you have to pay attention to the quality of products you supply. In poultry farming, paying attention to the type of feed you give to your birds is paramount because good food equals good eggs and quality meat.

Advertise your products:- You should also engage in advertisement and promotions. You don’t buy what you don’t know. Do you ? People mostly buy products they know or have heard about and when you advertise your products, it helps to increase awareness and subsequently, demand for your products.
