Leaders in Digital Engagement and Influence
We continue to learn and improve when it comes to digital marketing. Our home page continued to be the site with the most organic sessions (2,022) in February; however, our Products page was next with 930. As a whole, we have seen some 69,000 organic impressions of our site over the past three months, and increase of 10 percent Year over Year (YoY). Our SEED+ Graphite page (37,072 sessions) is the most popular page YoY when it comes to sessions, with our home page coming in second at 13,140 – which speaks to strong SEED+ Graphite digital campaigns. AVAIL (7,499), Trident (4,898), Preside Ultra (4,612) and MicroSync (3,932) round out the top six pages when it comes to sessions.
We are also able to learn more about the users and visitors to our site. Fifty-eight percent of our isitors are male, while 42 percent are female. Almost 1,000 visitors (989) have clicked on product videos to watch over the past few months, while almost 4,000 (3,914 to be exact) pdfs have been downloaded.
Digital marketing continues to be an ever-evolving and fluid area, one that we continue to improve and adapt.

Product Line Manager Cody Reynolds is still soliciting for Social Proof Testimonials. Sign up your retailer and/or growers here. Look for Cody to reach out to individuals for help on this if they don’t fill up! These social proofs will be utilized through ads, social media, and on the MicroSync product page. A retailer can even earn a $100 gift card for participating!
Quarterly Postcard/Email Blast
As part of the “Targeted Micronutrients” campaign, you have the ability to sign up your retailers for quarterly postcard and email blasts that will complement the digital campaign message.
Social Media Competition
Reminder: #microsync Madness is running!
We are down to the final days to encourage your contacts who use, sell, and know MicroSync to make a social media post that showcases their opinion about the product. Have fun with it! The top engaging posts will be entered into a competition to win a seat on an adventurous hog hunt with Helibacon. If your contact is the winner, YOU WILL ALSO EARN A SEAT TO PARTICIPATE!
To participate is simple: Have anyone you know create a post – with a picture, video, testimonial, etc. – about MicroSync and tag #microsync to enter. Let Cody know if you need help or an idea. Thanks to those who have already participated – or had their customers participate!
What People Say About Us
“We love MicroSync Pro. The ease of handling at our blend plant makes it easy for our blenders and operators. It has a flexible application window. We use it either pre-plant or as a top-dress application.”

SKU Consolidation
In 2021 we de-activated almost 1,000 legacy Verdesian SKUs, which will allow us to avoid renewing over 600 state registrations that were not being used. The team just identified almost 500 legacy Cytozyme SKUs (43% of all SKUs!) that will also be de-activated. This will save a significant amount of unnecessary regulatory work and will help free up resources for new registrations to grow sales globally. As products are being registered globally, we are moving the legacy Cytozyme products to the Verdesian label design and branding, with Paraguay and Spain as the first countries going through the transition.
Strategic International Market Expansion and Support
The international team continues to grow with the recent announcements of new positions to support international sales, operations, regulatory and marketing teams. There has been strong cross-selling between the legacy Verdesian and Cytozyme teams, with international demand growing quickly. Keep up the great work!
