Social Media Management Social Media Management Let’s work together to complete your marketing plan. Social media gives your customers and potential customers an inside look at what goes on at your farm or ranch. In today’s world, livestock operations must have a presence on social media – whether it is with a Facebook fan page, Twitter profile, Instagram account or a blog. We like to think of social media as the cherry on top of your marketing plan sundae. An active Facebook page or Twitter profile can ensure you distribute the correct information about upcoming sales, and can give you more exposure than print advertising or a website. It also makes your farm or ranch easily accessible to all generations. But, we know all managing these accounts takes time. Let us manage your social media efforts for a low quarterly fee.
