354 Stop Selling the Product & Start Building the Offer
Episode 354
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
Are you selling a product… or are you selling an offer? Most farmers think they're selling the product. "I sell lamb chops." "I sell bouquets." "I sell eggs." But customers don't actually buy products. They buy offers. In this episode, I unpack the difference between the two, and why learning how to build an offer around your farm product can dramatically increase your sales. If you've ever felt stuck thinking, "I just have this product… how do I sell it?" this episode will open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about marketing. You'll learn what an offer actually is, why it matters, and how to start spotting powerful offer ideas everywhere you look. Resources Mentioned In This Episode: What email provider do I use? I recommend Kit.com (formerly ConvertKit.com) -- it is easy to use, powerful, and getting better every year. It also integrates with most e-commerce providers and tools. Use my affiliate link!

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 — 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's website using a farm-specific code, Citizen Salmon ships frozen fish straight to them, and I earn a commission — without handling inventory, packing, or delivery. It's an aligned, ethical way to expand your product suite and serve your customers well. If you're curious about adding seafood to your CSA without adding work, learn more and reach out to Aaron at citizensalmonalaska.com.
