Farm Marketing News
Shopify
Shopify users can now set up automatic discounts for certain customer segments. You can now run a promo for specific audiences — like VIP customers or new customers — and the discount will automatically apply. This was previously available for applied discounts, but this update removes the extra step of the customer having to apply the coupon code themselves.
Shopify Users can now charge a flat rate for shipments where fulfillment is split across multiple locations in the same group. This update follows up on an earlier improvement that enabled splitting order fulfillment across multiple locations.
Klaviyo
Klaviyo has made double opt-in for new email subscribers easier. The new ‘go-to-inbox’ feature guides shoppers directly from your sign-up form to the confirmation email in their inbox.
Square
Square Online order update emails have moved to Square Digital Receipts. This updated automatically around August 20th, and uses the same system that powers in-store receipts. This update will ensure customers receive a consistent experience whether they shop online or in-person. All emails will be sent from Square’s verified address for improved deliverability — custom sender email addresses will no longer be supported and advanced email template customization will be replaced with the standard Square Digital Receipts format. You can manage these settings from your main dashboard in Account & Settings. See more information on Square Digital Receipts and customization.
Grant Opportunity: Institutional Food Purchasing
The Growing Justice Fund has announced grants ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 to support community-led initiatives that advance equitable food purchasing. Read more on their website.
No wait & no charge for website consultations... plus 25% off web projects!

What We've Been Up To
DIY (do-it-yourself) is our most budget-friendly e-commerce package, which is available for Shopify, Square, and Grazecart.
We recently collaborated with Euchre Creek Farm in Oregon to help them build and launch their DIY website. This project included:
DIY website template, customized to their brand
Sample products and fulfillment method for the client to edit and use as they filled out the site with their pasture-raised beef, lamb, and wool products.
SEO-friendly website skeleton and copywriting tips
4 Coaching calls to build and customize the site together.
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Thanks so much, the website looks amazing and totally in line with the vibe we discussed! Thanks to the entire team for being super responsive, kind, thorough, creating beautiful graphics and really capturing all that I could imagine for sharing the farm story. I’m hoping this coming season will be abundant and we can work together again!”

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Senior Designer Gabriela!
Gabi joined Grapevine in the summer of 2020 and it quickly became clear that she would be an integral part of the Grapevine team. You might know her as the woman who built your sales-driving website, or the designer who created a perfectly on-brand piece of collateral. To us, she’s the person who knows how everything Grapevine works and is always happy to answer a question, train a new teammate, talk about her favorite music, or look at your vacation pictures (and be genuinely interested in them!). She’s also a pro at making our at times far-flung virtual team feel like a close-knit group of people that really enjoy working with each other!
