Compost Marketing Hints
November 7th, 2006 by peter
- Allow yourself to be excited about your compost and talk about it with anyone who will listen. Genuine enthusiasm is a wonderful way to sell your product.
- Never give your compost away for free. People need to know that it has real value. If you do give some of your compost away, state that it is worth $25 / cubic yard, that you will be calling them to find out how it worked in their garden, and that you will be using their testimonial in your marketing campaign. They need to earn their “free” compost.
- During the winter months, donate a pick-up truck load (2 cubic yards) of your compost to a charity auction in your community. This will work particularly well if there is a cross over with the local garden club, as these folks go nuts for high-quality compost.

Peter Moon I talked to you last year in regards to the O2 system. I lease my stable to Dr. Bennitt with 9 horses. I have talked to her about the possibility of promoting the system county wide and for our own use. I would welcome your thoughts on a “standard box” that could be sold,rented or leased to local horse owners with the finished product being picked up. Has the compost been tested for consistency? What amount of finished product would you get from a 10 yard box? Is loss about 60% like in other compost methods? I would like to work on a business plan model if any of this seems feasible. thanks chris Savoy Ma.
