Turning One-Time Buyers into Loyal Customers
Making a sale feels good. But building a returning customer? That’s where real stability comes from. Here’s how to start doing that without overcomplicating things: - Talk to people. A simple conversation goes a long way. - Be consistent. Same spot, same products, same quality. - Invite them to stay connected. (Email list, Social media) You don’t need hundreds of customers. A small group of loyal buyers who come back week after week? That’s powerful. And over time, those are the people who will support your homestead the most.

I absolutely love my "regular weekly customers" They start to feel just like friends and family!

Hi! I’m Erica. I live in Iowa. I have had a small homestead (2.5 acres) for about 5 years. I bought it for my 40th birthday after my divorce and decided I could homestead all on my own. I currently have 4 Jersey cows, 3 calves, 4 kunekune pigs, lots of chickens, 3 dogs, 6 barn cats, and 2 wild and crazy grandkids. I sell raw milk to 25 families a week. I used to sell eggs but my chicken have been free-loaders since September. I make freeze dried candy. I am venturing into soap making and bread making. I also just started a blog and am dabbling with the affiliate marketing, homestead merch, and digital products. I plan to set up a small farmstand this summer to add all of these things with fruits and veggies from the garden also. I'm very excited to be here. Thank you for having me! I love to learn from others and meet like minded people.
