Meet Bronkberry Farms
Located in Plainfield, IL, Bronkberry Farms has been a beloved part of their community since 2012, offering seasonal activities like pumpkin patches, apple picking, hayrides, and an annual fall festival. Since 2017, the farm has also been a proud CloseBy® Text Marketing partner, using text messaging to keep their loyal customers informed and engaged throughout the year.
Jen Bronk, the farm’s co-owner, knew that with all the excitement each fall, she needed a dependable team to keep things running smoothly. For many businesses, hiring seasonal staff can be challenging—finding the right people, spreading the word, and reviewing countless applications. But when Jen decided to incorporate CloseBy® Text Marketing into her hiring strategy, everything changed.
With one text message, Jen reached out to her loyal community:
“Want to be part of a GREAT team? We’re hiring for our greenhouse, field work, & cashiers! Must work weekends. To apply, text Jen at 815-436-6967.”
With this one text, Jen filled her entire seasonal staff! The message reached the right people—those who were not only qualified but also excited to be part of the farm’s fall activities.
Why did this text work so well? For starters, it felt personal and direct. Jen was reaching out to people who already knew and loved her farm, making them more likely to respond and consider the opportunity. Additionally, the message was clear, simple, and action-driven—exactly what busy people need! By using text marketing, Jen made her hiring process faster, more efficient, and incredibly successful, ensuring that her farm was ready to take on the busy fall season.
