Seniors : Source and Resource (prepared competition)
Marketing your products and or business is integral to your success. Often your marketing tools require skills
you do not have. Choosing the right person or business for your team is critical to your success.
Communicating your vision completes the process. This competition requires you to find the right source and/or
resource that you will need for creating a promotional product. You may create any product that can be shared
on social media (video, infographic, postcard, etc.) to promote one of the following:
1. Your farm or business
2. Canadian All Breeds Heifer Show
3. UFA
You must source your product and communicate your vision. Marks will be awarded for the interaction you
have with the outsourcing resource. You may use the following site: http://www.fiverr.com/ (everything for
$5) or someone of your own choosing.
Tips For Outsourcing Online
1. Once you have your idea, go to Fiverr and search for the type of media you desire. Make sure you look
for people who have the style or design you would like as an outcome with the project.
2. Look at the service providers rating and reviews.
3. Contact the seller with your information and idea. This will help to ensure they are they right people for
the job and are willing to do it for your desired budget.
4. Once you hire make sure you send really specific instructions, for instance, what words do you want to
be used, what feel are you going for. Sending an example along never hurts.
5. Be sure to be quick to respond.
