FoodHub is thrilled to be providing underwriting support to KPLU, the Seattle/ Tacoma NPR affiliate radio station. As part of the underwriting package, we had to boil the essence of FoodHub down to a statement that could be read in 20 seconds. Seemed like a daunting task at first but, really, the essence of FoodHub is simple: “FoodHub connects buyers and sellers of regional food.”
We had to run down the clock so we elaborated a bit, but the whole exercise got us thinking about how much one can accomplish in 20 seconds. Quite a lot, it turns out.
Here are just a few of the things you could do in 20 seconds on FoodHub:
- Search for farmers who grow exactly what you need, down to the variety.
- Compile a list of buyers in search of the very products you sell.
- Narrow your FoodHub search results by distance, production practices and packaging type.
- Connect directly with someone who could just be the perfect match for you or your situation.
- Complete the “how to do business with us” section of your profile, or write an engaging description of your operation.
- Create and send a hot sheet to interested buyers through FoodHub’s message center.
- Get a sense of the geographic diversity of FoodHub’s members by clicking on the nifty map feature.
- Complete the first step toward becoming a FoodHub member.
We’ve already welcomed new FoodHub members who told us they heard about us on KPLU. What about you? Have you heard our 20 seconds of fame?
Your ad on KPLU got me here! Looks great! Not quite ready to pull the trigger on $100, but I do love the idea and will be back. Thanks for an excellent idea!
