I had to turn away two customers today becaue I didn't have eggs to sell,,three months ago I had 30 dozen and no buyers,now I can't keep enough to supply everyone..whats happening?? one thing I am sure that has boosted my sales was the egg sign I had made and put up in my yard,,since then several people has stopped and told me that if they had known I had eggs to sell they would have been stopping.I guess word of mouth is not enough..so advertise people.advertise...

Most folks won't go out of their way to buy eggs. Almost all of our sales from the farm are to folks that live within three miles of us. I originally had a sign in the yard a few summers ago. Once we had a good base of customers I took the sign down. I still pick up a new customer every now and again from word of mouth.
My wife also has a regular sales route in a nearby city. She started by going door to door to different businesses in the city to see who was
interested. Now she has a regular route that she does every two weeks where she sells 40-50 dozen.
