INNOVATIVE IDEAS
* Consider videotaping your event. Some presenters
prefer not to be recorded, but if your experts are
willing, the opportunity to post these replays on
your website or YouTube channel is a super way to
extend your reach.
Other Ways to Add Value
In addition to the popular master gardener series
of live presentations, we have also built out a robust
microsite (countrymax.com/lawn-garden-life) with
monthly tips for gardeners, including watering, crop
rotation, soil selection and pest control. Each month, we
send emails and use social posts to remind people of the
fresh content, further positioning our store as a valuable
source of information.
As the busy season begins, we look forward to even
more collaborations that lead to innovations with
customers and our community in upstate New York.
Brian Rapp is creative director at CountryMax Stores,
a 2023 recipient of the Lawn & Garden Retailer Innovator
Awards. Learn more at lgrmag.com/article/countrymax.
