In March, I launched the new program Monday Marketing Minute on the Center for Crop Diversification's Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube pages. The Monday Marketing Minute is a bite-sized informational video that teaches growers about different aspects of marketing their specialty crops. Some of the videos featured are "Pulp vs. Plastic Packaging," "Tablecloth Choices for Farmers Market Vendors," "How to Make Flyers with QR Codes that Link to your Social Media Pages," and "The Power of Providing Samples at the Farmers Market."
