319 How to Create a VIP Customer Strategy for Your Farm Part 1

Have you ever walked into a place so often that the staff knew your name—and your order?

There’s something magical about being recognized and treated like a regular. It creates loyalty.

That’s the idea behind a VIP strategy—and your farm needs one.

In today’s episode, I kick off a 2-part series that helps you create a plan to identify, reward, and retain your farm’s most valuable customers. Part 1 is all about figuring out who those people are, and what kind of behavior you want to encourage more of.

You’ll learn:

• Why your business needs a VIP strategy

• What behaviors to track to spot your most loyal customers

• The kinds of perks that work best (by farm type!)

• And how to design a VIP tier that feels intentional and doable

💡 Plus: I’ve created a free worksheet to help you plan your own VIP tier. 👉 Download it now at www.mydigitalfarmer.com/vipworksheet

🎧 Tune in now and start building the foundation for a simple loyalty program that keeps your superfans coming back for more.
