I raise Ouessant/Shetland cross sheep and need to figure out how to sell
them. Ouessant sheep are the smallest breed of sheep in the world
(25-45 lbs). My crosses are a little bigger with ewes averaging 50
lbs. They're smart, inquisitive, friendly, and have delicious meat and
lovely wool. People think they're delightful. But how many people
actually want to own a miniature sheep? And how do I find this small
percentage of the population? A marketing expert (who likes my sheep
but has no free time) said that all I need to do is use social media --
post some pictures on Instagram and a 15-second video on TikTok. So I'm
looking for help in doing this. This would not be a big campaign and
could be a few hours of each of several people -- aa marketing pro,
photographer/videographer, and someone knowledgeable about social
media. Maybe there's a college marketing major who'd be interested. In
exchange, I'm happy to buy lunch/dinner, provide yarn, delicious
lamb/mutton, a couple of miniature sheep, or US currency. Please let me
know if you have questions. Thank you in advance. (BTW, folks are
welcome to come see the sheep -- just send me an email to coordinate on
a time.)
