GREAT LAKES EXPO NEWS
brand is and how people can use
it to get their business out there, "
DeHoff said. " I want people to feel
comfortable utilizing this digital space
because the great thing about it is
that it's free. "
Creating social media accounts
to connect businesses with the
right audience is crucial and DeHoff
expresses that anyone can do it -
bringing endless opportunities for
success.
DeHoff's personal brand, Fancy
Lady Cowgirl, " celebrates women
from all walks of life and teaches
them to lean into their true identity
to reach new levels of success and
fulfillment. " She is a recognized face
in the media and is a motivational
speaker across the country. She has
a passion to give prominence and a
voice to the agriculture community.
With more than 250,000 followers
across LinkedIn, Facebook,
Instagram and TikTok, DeHoff
utilizes her storytelling skills to
prove that being a cowgirl isn't in
the way you look, where you live or
the lifestyle you create - it's a state
of mind.
Benefits of farm marketing
and agritourism
Another opportunity within
the agriculture industry is farm
markets. Beth Hubbard, board
member of the Michigan State
Horticulture Society, has her own
farm market and understands the
importance of them.
" One of the benefits of farm
markets is the ability to grow and
sell your own products all in one
place, " Hubbard said. " When the
farm and the market are together,
so you can connect the public to the
farm. People can learn how things
are grown and have a unique great
experience on the farm. "

How roundtables can grow
business, knowledge
Roundtables are another great way
to grow and learn more about farm
marketing and agritourism. Hubbard
encourages attendees to stop by
roundtables to get a more personal
connection with others at the show.
" When you attend a roundtable
it's a smaller group of people and
it's more informal. You'll meet
people who are very passionate
about that particular topic, "
Hubbard said. " People are there
to help, talk and share their own
experiences. It's a great way to meet
people who have related interests.
You'll often find people exchanging
business cards and information and
following up later. "
Hubbard loves attending Great
Lakes EXPO because of all the
opportunities it brings, including
meeting and networking with new
people, learning new things and
experiencing the world of agriculture.
" I find that EXPO is always a good
time to experience more educational
opportunities, meet new vendors,
walk the trade show and discover new
things that you could use on your farm
or in your market, " Hubbard said.
