Warrnambool
Digital marketing in Warrnambool for farm suppliers, trades and tourism businesses, run on one plan by our team in Mildura.
Marketing Warrnambool
Rock Solid Marketing runs digital marketing for Warrnambool businesses from our office in Mildura. We have no office in Warrnambool; you deal with one account manager by video or phone, backed by our team of 10 specialists.
The south-west has two kinds of customer. Dairy and farm businesses across the district buy machinery, feed, services and trades all year. Visitors fill the coast in summer, whale season and race week. A marketing plan that suits one often misses the other.
Partnership plans start from $4,500 + GST a month with no lock-in. A free 30-minute discovery call comes first.

What we do
The channels below are weighted to your customers: steady for the farm trade, seasonal for tourism, measured either way.
Email, Facebook and Google campaigns that reach dairy and farm businesses across the district, timed to calving, silage and the busy months when farmers buy.
Accommodation, food and tours get campaigns ahead of summer, whale season and the May races, aimed at the places visitors travel from.
Posts that show your people, your work and the south-west, planned each month and approved by you before they're published.
Your profile, website and search ads working together, so people around Warrnambool who search for what you do can find and call you.
Newsletters and offers to past customers and farm accounts. Repeat business then doesn't depend on paid ads, and your best customers hear from you first.
One report on the hours used, the results and what's next, reviewed with your account manager each month.

Janine GowenlockRegional DirectorMildura VICHow it starts
Know the customer, map the year, then run and report.
A free 30-minute call about your business, your farm, local and visitor customers, and what's working now.
We agree which customers come first and map campaigns across the farm and tourist calendars.
Posts, ads, emails and pages go out each month, approved by you before anything is published.
Your account manager reports results each month and adjusts the plan for the season ahead.
How it works
We start by working out which of your customers matter most: farm accounts, local households or visitors. Then the plan weights the channels to suit, with the year mapped out so campaigns land in the months that count.
Your account manager runs it and reports monthly. If a social media plan from $1,500 + GST a month covers what you need, we'll recommend that before we quote anything bigger.
Farm year and holiday year, in one plan.

Ad spend is paid to Google and Meta on top of your plan. Hours are shared across channels as your plan sets out.

No. We work from 3/71 Deakin Ave in Mildura. Warrnambool clients deal with their account manager by video or phone each month, and the monthly report shows all the work done. In-person visits can be arranged, with travel priced up front. Distance doesn't change the work.
Yes. Farm businesses respond to useful, practical content: seasonal reminders, product information, prices and service availability. We use email lists, Facebook and search ads aimed at the district, timed to the farm calendar rather than the city one. Farmers read what helps them run the farm.
Reach visitors before they book. That means ads where they live, a strong Google profile, good photos and a booking path that works on phones. Then email past guests so they come back. Any marketing agency in Warrnambool, or one serving it remotely, should cover those basics first.
Usually, if it's sized right. A small business may only need a Google profile, a working website and one social platform. If that's you, we'll recommend a smaller plan or a one-off job instead of a partnership, before we quote. Bigger plans can come later.
Your monthly report shows hours used, ad spend, clicks, calls, enquiries and, where we can track them, sales. Your account manager goes through it with you and explains what will change next month. If something isn't working, we stop it. Results drive the plan, not habit.
Your business does. Ad accounts, social pages, Google profile, email list and website stay in your name, along with the posts and photos we create. If you leave, you take everything, including the calendar and every report. Nothing is held back when you go, and nothing is deleted.
