Hi, my name is Michael Libbie from Des Moines, Iowa. You know me from Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country the radio show about the rural lifestyle and Insight on Business our show about advertising, marketing and consumer trends. I am also the immediate past Chairman of the Supplier Section Board of Governors for the Farm Equipment ManufacturersAssociation based out of St. Louis and headed, this year, by president John McKoy of Orthman Manufacturing, Lexington, NE.
For years our advertising agency has used social media as one of the marketing tools we prescribe for our clients. Those who have used social media, along with traditional media to stay in the game, have seen remarkable increases in business and in the ability to listen and interact with consumers. So, during our recent meeting in Kansas City I shared with the Board of Governors that we would begin a social media plan to engage individuals who sell products and services to the hundreds of short-line farm equipment manufacturing companies that dot the globe. And...because social media is catching on with the rural economy...it makes sense.
Our mission is simple. We're here to promote the Farm Equipment Manufacturing Association and to encourage individuals who supply goods and services to their membership to become active in our group.
Relationships...are everything.
And, so we're off. In the coming days you'll learn more about us, why we exist and how we interact. Thanks for coming by...let's visit when you get time. You can follow us on Twitter @FESN_Group.
Thanks for coming by,
Michael Libbie - Acreage Owner and Advertising Guy...
