UC ANR’s new publication Marketing Strategies for Agritourism Operations can help those interested in agritourism create or improve their marketing strategy. Main topics include:

  • What is a marketing strategy
  • Understand the market
  • What makes you special
  • Develop your message
  • What is your marketing cost
  • Launch a promotional campaign
  • Sell smart
