Agribusiness marketing for farmers and rural suppliers

Agribusiness marketing for Australian farm businesses and the suppliers who serve them, planned around seasons, field days and long sales cycles.

Partnership plans from $4,500 + GST a month

Agribusiness

Agribusiness marketing that fits the farming calendar

Rock Solid Marketing plans and runs marketing for farm businesses, rural suppliers and agricultural service companies across Australia, from our office in Mildura. Our office sits in Sunraysia, where grapes, citrus and almonds are grown, so pruning and harvest are part of the town we work in.

Selling to growers isn't like selling to shoppers. Your buyer decides slowly, talks to the neighbours, trusts what they see at field days and won't read a thing during harvest. Marketing for farmers has to arrive at the right point in the season, in plain language, with the technical detail that justifies the spend.

Partnership plans start from $4,500 + GST a month (see our marketing partnerships), beginning with a free 30-minute discovery call. If a better product page and a field day follow-up plan would do the job, we'll tell you before we quote.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Your campaigns go out in harvest, when your buyers aren't reading anything.

    What we do

    We plan the year around the crop calendar, so content and ads land in the quieter weeks when growers plan and buy.

  2. Field days cost a fortune and the leads go cold by the time you're back in the office.

    What we do

    We set up a simple capture form for the stand, then a follow-up email series and a call list, so every conversation gets a next step.

  3. Your product pages are spec sheets nobody outside the industry can follow.

    What we do

    We rewrite them in plain language with the numbers growers care about, and keep the full specifications one click away.

  4. You rely on reps and word of mouth, and the website brings in nothing.

    What we do

    We build pages and search work around the problems your products solve, so growers researching a fix find you between rep visits.

What we do for agribusiness

Agriculture marketing agency work, season by season

Marketing strategies for farmers and the businesses that serve them work best when every channel follows the farming calendar, not the retail one.

A calendar set by the crop

Campaigns timed to planting, spraying, harvest and the quieter months when growers plan. Nothing important goes out during the busiest weeks of the season, when nobody is reading.

Field day and trade event kits

Banners, flyers and product sheets designed for the stand, plus a lead form and a follow-up email series so conversations turn into quotes.

Search for the problem, not the product

Pages that answer what growers search when something goes wrong in the paddock or the block. SEO for agribusiness on its own starts from $1,000 + GST a month.

Plain technical content

How-to guides, product explainers and short videos that describe your product in growers' words, with the numbers they need. Written with your technical staff and approved by you.

Email and SMS between rep visits

Seasonal tips, product updates and event invites to customers who opted in, so your name stays in front of them between visits. Every message follows the Spam Act 2003.

Leads tracked to sales

Each month you see enquiries by source, field day leads followed up and quotes sent, next to what each channel cost, reviewed with your account manager.

Who it’s for

Is it the right fit?

Who it’s for

  • Rural merchandise and farm input suppliers
  • Machinery and irrigation dealers
  • Agronomy, consulting and contracting services
  • Farm businesses selling direct to buyers
  • Agtech companies launching to growers

Not a fit

  • Growers who sell only through a packer or co-op and don't need their own brand
  • Anyone who wants a promised sales result
  • Businesses that only need a new logo: brand creation is quoted separately

How it starts

Agribusiness marketing services start with your sales calendar

We start with how you sell now: who buys, when they buy, what your reps hear in the paddock and which events bring in work. Then we map that against the farming year, so we know when your buyers have time to listen.

If you need to hear from growers directly, Dr. Damian Collins can run a focus group, quoted separately. You get a plan for the year with the campaigns, events and content in order, and you approve it before anything goes out.

  • Who buys from you and when
  • What your reps hear from growers
  • Field days and events worth attending
  • Products and services to push first
  • Busy weeks to keep clear

Reach growers when they have time to listen.

Agribusiness is the business side of farming. It covers growing and selling produce, plus everything that supports it: seed, fertiliser, machinery, irrigation, finance, processing and transport. A grower is an agribusiness, and so is the dealer who sells them a tractor. The marketing for each looks different, so we start with who buys from you.

Most businesses whose customers are farmers, or whose product comes off a farm. That includes input suppliers, machinery and irrigation dealers, agronomists, contractors, packers, processors, exporters and agtech companies. Farm businesses themselves count too, especially those selling direct to buyers or to the public. If your customers wear work boots, you're probably in it.

Yes. Agric business is a shortened way of saying agricultural business, which is what agribusiness means. Some people use it for farming alone and agribusiness for the wider supply chain, but the terms overlap. For marketing, what matters is whether you sell to growers, to buyers of produce or to the public.

Yes. We work from Mildura in the Sunraysia growing district, and our 10 specialists are based across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. Clients outside the region meet their account manager by video or phone, and we plan field day campaigns wherever you exhibit.

The brief is different. Agribusiness buyers decide slowly, trust peers and field days, and go quiet at harvest, while most marketing calendars follow retail seasons. Whoever you choose, ask how they'll plan around your season and follow up event leads. We're based in a growing region, so that calendar is the one around us.

Within days, not weeks. We set up a short form your staff fill in at the stand, tagged by product interest. Each lead then gets a thank-you email, the product sheet they asked about and a reminder to your rep to call. You see in the report how many became quotes.

No. Partnership plans have no lock-in contract, so you can lift the hours before the field day season and ease back at harvest. A dedicated account manager runs your plan with the whole team behind them. We meet monthly, by phone, by video or at our Mildura office by booking.
