Marketing our trees is better understood when you are thinking about marketing in terms of adding customers to your customer base and using free trees as a means of finding new potential customers. Thats why we always have promotions that include free trees. You can see an example of on of our free tree offers by clicking InFountainville.html">...here.... We like to add potential customers by using our E-Newsletter to help make potential customers aware of our offerings. We have plenty of dormant stock and stock that is surplus to our needs. This is offered thru the E-Newsletter. Customers are made aware that the E-Newsletter will be used to notify of freebies. Customers to our nursery are also made aware that there are promotions and shown the promotions. All free items are offer subject to being on our E-Newsletter list. This readly gets them to signup for the news letter. Customers are offered discounts on stock when they bring their friends along while shopping. Thus we encourage group shopping. Free surplus is always sent along with group shoppers. Sort of like a volume discount incentive. We also use the tack of asking the customer to help us by finding other homes for our surplus. We might ask if their church needs any free surplus. This means they will ask others if they need our stock. The customer becomes an unpaid saleman but compensated by free tree offerings.
