306 5 Ways to Get Your First-Time Farm Customers to Buy Again (And Spend More!)

My Digital Farmer Podcast

Is your farm’s sales funnel doing a great job of bringing in first-time customers—but then dropping the ball when it comes to getting them to buy again?

I recently coached a farmer who sells grass-fed chicken, pork, and beef by the cut, along with farm bundles and beef shares. He had an amazing sales funnel that was driving leads and converting first-time buyers like clockwork. But here’s the catch he had no system in place to encourage repeat buying.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what I told this farmer to focus on next to boost his AOV and order frequency—and I’ll give you a checklist of ideas you can implement to build out your own post-purchase system.

Tune in now to learn how to turn first-time buyers into loyal, repeat customers!
