Just a note of thanks to Dr. Barnes for a very informative workshop regarding marketing strategy for a start-up rural farmers market that will be located in Quitman County, MS. The workshop was interactive. Dr. Barnes masterfully facilitated the participants into developing a “Marketing Message Playbook,” that will serve as a blueprint to help establish the market framework and banding. I am looking forward to implementing the key take-a-ways from the information the group compiled to help successful launch the farmers market and make it sustainable. Again, great job Dr. Barnes!

Dr. Barnes facilitated a workshop in Quitman County to assist us in marketing the opening of a local Farmers Market later this year. The workshop was insightful, informative, and his often comedic presentation absolutely resonated with me; kept it interesting. I am convinced how important it is for everyone promoting an idea/product/service to say the same thing each mention. My biggest takeaway, "The customer is always the hero," and the provider of the idea/product/service is the guide, leading the customer step by step. That's rich! We are looking forward to Workshop Phase II and learning even more about how to promote the Farmer's Market in our County.
