“The goal I set when I started the conversation with these women was that when we are able to collaborate, our businesses grow, our teams grow, and the bottom line grows. Leaders: If you can create a culture where traditionally tough conversations are welcomed and stewarded well, you will see growth and success, you will attract new talent, and you will see long-term results.”
“I think the best way to be strategic with a social media plan is to remember that it’s one of the most effective ways to invite your consumers to have a deep and personal conversation with your brand. It’s one of the best tools you can use, especially in the fresh produce industry, to tell your story and invite people into a conversation.”

It has been three weeks since the annual Women’s Fresh Perspectives Conference. Just about that window of time when the whirlwind of the day-to-day life that is fresh produce vocation might have swept away some of the new habits and resolutions the event instilled in the women of our industry. The perfect time for me to sit down with Beth Keeton, Founder of Elephant House PR, to reflect on the potential and strategic edge of her workshop "From Conflict to Collaboration.”
Today, about 74% of us use social media when making decisions about what to buy — which necessitates the need for sound strategies aimed at a company’s target customers. And while the tactics may vary, the results can often help shape a brand’s image and solidify it, especially when coupled with a comprehensive marketing plan. Hear from thought leaders in the produce industry to determine how social media marketing can best connect to the consumers your brand wants to speak to.
