Most farmers think they\u2019re selling the product. \u201cI sell lamb chops.\u201d \u201cI sell bouquets.\u201d \u201cI sell eggs.\u201d But customers don\u2019t actually buy products. They buy offers. In this episode, I unpack the difference between the two, and why learning how to&amp;nbsp;build an offer around your farm product can dramatically increase your sales. If you\u2019ve ever felt stuck thinking, \u201cI just have this product\u2026 how do I sell it?\u201d this episode will open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about marketing. You\u2019ll learn what an offer actually is, why it matters, and how to start spotting powerful offer ideas everywhere you look.

This is my fifth season working with them, and I keep coming back for a simple reason: it works. They offer wild sockeye salmon, halibut, black cod, shrimp, and smoked seafood \u2014 all sourced directly from independent fishermen out of Homer, Alaska. What makes this partnership such a win for farms is the model: I promote Citizen Salmon to my customers, they order directly from Citizen Salmon\u2019s website using a farm-specific code, Citizen Salmon ships frozen fish straight to them, and I earn a commission \u2014 without handling inventory, packing, or delivery. It\u2019s an aligned, ethical way to expand your product suite and serve your customers well. If you\u2019re curious about adding seafood to your CSA without adding work, learn more and reach out to Aaron at citizensalmonalaska.com.
