What's in your marketing plan?

Do you offer mini horses/ponies for sale? have tack for sale?
How do you drive visitors to your Website? Do you have a Website?
If you are serious about your equine business you will eventually need a way to market your horses for sale. If this applies to you then I'm sure you have a Website to represent your farm/ranch/business, most importantly you keep the information on your Website current.

Your Website will speak volumes about your business, it does not have to be fancy or expensive but it does need to be current. Without current information and photos you are better served advertising only your business card and have a sales list with photos ready to send to people who inquire.
It's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad.

When you are looking to buy horses what impresses you? The Website that says "Look at us, we take our equine business seriously, our horses are presented clean and fit and our information on them is complete and current!" or,, "Look at us, we're on c-list or have a free photo gallery (with blinking ads) that we sell from...

I surfed around mid Summer 2018 and found Websites with these announcements: "presenting our 2009 (and earlier) line-up!" and 2011 and 2012 foals are arriving now :o(   On the sales page I saw many horses for sale that are now 2 and 3 years old ( and up ) but listed as unnamed and selling with registration pending....
One of the hot topics the last few years was "when will the market pick back up". The answer is Look no further than your own marketing plan!
 A well conformed, and well presented horse, will always bring a good price - A well run equine business will still command a good price for it's stock.
Driving people to YOUR personal space to view what you have for sale is paramount in this industry.
