How To Set Up a Web Site
to Sell Horse & Ag-related Services

Ever wondered how to set up a web site to sell horse related services? Well, you're not alone. The dream of making a living at doing what you love is why you're in the horse business. But marketing that business is a horse of a different color.

Marketing is a mystery to most of us. How to promote a business is a far cry from actually "doing" that business. And the horse industry is serious business. Training barns, breeding operations, horse shows, tack stores, hay and feed production – the list goes on.

Here are some striking facts from the American Horse Council:

• The horse industry has a direct economic effect on the U.S. of $39 billion annually. 4.6 million Americans are involved in the industry as horse owners, service providers, employees and volunteers.
   
• 2 million people own horses. 1 out of every 63 Americans is involved with horses.

Horse business is no small-time industry, it is major.

If you aren't already, it's time to promote your services and products in a way that reaches these 2 million people. A highly effective way to market your horse business is with a resourceful website.

Have a look at a great example of how to set up a web site to sell horse related products. In this case, the "products" are Andalusian horses. The spirit of this farm's business comes through loud and clear.

Are they technical wizards or programmers? No! Just dedicated horse people with a great Web building product that lets them focus on what they do best.

You and I know that to market a horse, we need to have a barn that's in the right location. A barn that is always in the public eye, lots of interested traffic buzzing around, with buyers stopping in or calling on a regular basis.

Now go online - and you can magnify that good location a hundred-fold by getting your horses seen by thousands of buyers who search the Internet.

With a properly made website, potential clients will find you. They'll see the quality of your horses, they will get to know about you, and will learn about your products whether you sell tack and feed, horses, equestrian gifts, or run a boarding stable.

Unlike equine marketing with online classified ads, many of your viewers will become dedicated, repeat customers. On the Web, you can rein in your marketing to reach a very local audience, or let it stretch out and run globally.
