The NAAF Kitchen Table Road Show

Here's what people are saying about NAAF's Kitchen Table Talk...

"Thank you for your visit and talk. It was very beneficial and will get me on the move again with help on the marketing. Thanks again. " - Debbie Bartman, Snowline Alpacas

What is this road show about? It’s about working with you to market and sell your alpacas and alpaca end products more effectively and efficiently.

What does a Kitchen Table meeting mean? We mean we want you help you sell locally – define a potential customer base that is within 50 miles of YOUR farm, and make sales.

I don’t want to buy alpacas right now. Will this be a sales pitch? No way – we want to help you sell your alpacas, and to new customers. We need more owner/breeders. And the NAAF representatives will be explaining how to build a NAAF network where YOU are in charge. NAAF will work for you.

Who will run the meetings? NAAF representatives, who will walk you through a presentation on improving sales & marketing strategies, demonstrating tools to help you increase revenue, manage and even cut costs.

Who invites the people to come?  You do. Invite local breeders who would be interested in improving sales (who isn’t?). Remember: we’ll be showing you all how to find and sell to new customers – so your neighboring farms are not in competitions with you. We’re partners in sales and marketing focus.

Will the meetings be held in a home or a barn setting? Whatever works best for you. It is a lot different selling an alpaca in Manhattan than it is in Montana. We want to bring local NAAF presenters to your local area and discuss local strategies.

What would I be responsible for providing? Your attention. We run a bare bones operation. We’ll need electricity for our laptops, and a few refreshments – water, coffee, whatever is at hand. Nothing fancy.

Are there any other meetings being held within a reasonable distance that I could attend first? We’ll be publishing a list of locations, dates and times shortly on our new website. So yes, feel free to attend a meeting.

And most importantly....what is the major focus and purpose of the meeting? Helping you to increase sales, improve marketing techniques, leverage new tools to plan strategies and manage costs. Learn about alternative revenue streams for your alpaca business.

Can I get an outline of what is covered and what's going to be presented?
Certainly. A synopsis of the Kitchen Table Talk can be read by clicking here.
