Let us talk more about the Amish of Ethridge!

Just north of Lawrenceburg and west of Pulaski Tennessee is the Amish community of Ethridge. Over 300 Amish families call Ethridge home and live in the old order way. These old order Amish do not use electricity, telephones, indoor plumbing or drive cars and trucks. These old order Amish are very religious, conservative and strict and even divide the culture as they know it between the Amish and us "English" people, (or those who are non Amish). The Amish of Ethridge are known as the "Swartzentruber Amish" and are very work oriented. The Amish country in Ethridge looks like the civil war era with their old plows and primitive farm equipment even though they've moved here in the 1940's from other Amish communities. All work is done by hand or a small engine that runs on gas. Life is hard and more workers are required to do the family farm so you'll see plenty of families with 5 to 10 kids or more around the Amish homes and farms.  

The scenery get lots of clicks and exposure on social media

 There is an area in Ethridge where there are plenty of small shops and eateries you can visit as a tourist. Locals call this place "Amish Country" because it is the place you want to be when you're serious about visiting the Amish. There are Amish museums here that belonged to the first settlement of Amish in the area. Today this house has been turned into the museum where you can see the inside of a real Amish home and farm. The Amish people do not allow photography or video of any of their possessions and do not allow us english visitors into their homes. In Amish country, you can get on wagon tours pulled by horse or mule that go out into Amish country where you can see the Amish people first hand and in person. This is the best educational experience you can do for any children you may have with you.

Points of interest get attention all year 

Wagon rides are usually $10 for adults and $5 for kids 5-12 but free for anyone younger than 5. If you do go out for a wagon ride, take cash, water, sunscreen and a canvas bag to put your produce in so your items don't roll around on the wagon ride. . They have a wide selection of fruits and vegetables to buy for ridiculously low prices. They also have peanut brittle, chow chow (which is like a fermented coleslaw) other canned goods like jams and jellies, cakes, pies and sorghum molasses among other handmade goods. The wagon tours vary depending on who's tour you go on so make sure to get the tour that matches the time you want to spend out on the wagon because most tours are a few hours long. Make sure to wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. You can imagine what it is like to have so many animals around. The Amish don't typically change the price of items so take enough cash to make your trip worth the trip. 

Driving trails, maps, and video tours get traffic back to our site!

If you like to do your own driving, then see our map or the local map and drive till you see a house with a sign out front that indicates what this family has to offer. There is always items that are not on the sign so ask an Amish person when you drive up if they have the item you want or know an Amish person who makes it. A bit of advice here, don't talk to the bare footed Amish children, they are taught Pennsylvania Dutch first so the kids may not understand you but the Amish adults don't want their kids learning the ways of the english. Amish kids go to a one room school house from age 7 to 14 or so, learning math and languages of english and Pennsylvania Dutch which is a German dialect. 

Showing the Amish increases authenticity and realism to the area!

The Amish tours go by the Amish school houses and sawmills. Many Amish men build Amish furniture and wooden goods. The cedar trees that grow in the area are great for cedar furniture. The ladies will usually be inside the house most of the day. The kids are usually outside working or at play. Amish kids work doing work we english would say was for adults. It is not uncommon to see little boys on plows pulled by horses. The Amish can marry at 21 and you'll see courting start in their teenage years. The dress of the Amish will be very iconic with their black and blue color scheme that the Amish make themselves. The married men must have a beard and wear a straw hat while outside when he sun is out. The women will have the same colors and sometimes a brown or reddish color dress in summer with a bonnet on their heads. Kids look like the smaller version of adults and will be out in the fields tending to the crops or playing with others. 

Amish farm scenes get shared on many social media pages and google images.

The fear of missing? or the fear of missing out?

There are so many like minded topics going around online today that feature subject matters that are similar. Organic gardening, off grid living, canning and other long term food preparation are just a few the activities the Amish have been doing for a long time! There are plenty of visitors who come see the Amish in Ethridge who stay for other activities along the way! We also have a few problem areas if we do not talk about certain aspects of Amish vacationing. 

Talking about these pros and cons can offer many additional content pages to make the visitor aware of the intricacies of visiting the Amish. These tips build trust and allegiance to believe us when we tell visitors the truth about visiting the Ethridge or any other Amish community. These pages also get google traffic since they are informational in search!  

Conclusion:

Visiting the Amish can be a life enhancing vacation if the trip is planned correctly. Bad advertising practices and social media schemes can hype a place to get more visitors but since the perception of the location was fabricated, the visitors expectations were too high. They become dissatisfied with the lack of features and promises they were told. We believe in an honest advertisement that leads to happy guest instead of one star reviews where the visitor's words keep others from going to a place that someone would normally enjoy. The Amish deserve to be visited by those who truly want to be there and know what to expect.

We want to take you through the steps you will need in order to advertise with us on the Amish of Ethridge website!

So what can this kind of advertising do for my company?

The inline ad method will not be something that cannot be closed by clicking a button and is static in most cases. A dynamic cascading ad can be an option in the more expensive Buggy levels. We do not like the pop up or slide in methods to annoy visitors and ruin the experience of the site. The inline ad must be similar enough to the content to keep from confusing the indexing crawl of the google search bots so we have to be careful that we only include those ads that are consistent with the topic of the page for best results and that we can't let just anyone put advertising on our website. Artificial Intelligence or AI will make estimates on  

So how does this Ad work? And how does my company make money from it?

We will walk you through the Ad method we use and the methodology we take!

We make a few photos with the right kind of text and information on them in Canva Pro or Affinity Suite and put these in a content box with a link to the page where you want the viewer to go. Once the click is made it is up to you to handle the next steps. We can help consult on what the next steps can be or options to include. Basically the Ad works like a digital version of a newspaper Ad but with the functionality of a Google Ad. Below is a list of things that must happen in order to get to your Ad to work on our websites!

The psychology of Ad placement inline with the content!

Sometimes we use a banner image to make the image more recognisable to click on a section where we draw the visitor in. This consistency also adds to the trustworthiness of the link going to where you say it does. See the banner below and imagine what you would like to see labeled in the side column!  

Now here is an Ad!

The more different, the more likely the click! We sometimes use tactics like rounding the tops and bottoms of a photo that includes a link. These photos can be inserted into a content box with a link to the whole box so that the URL link will take you exactly to your advertisement page! These advertisements below are examples of the ads we run.

*Progeny Partnership Included In Each Level*

One huge problem with each advertisement is figuring out what works or didn't work. How to measure means how to manage and sometimes you need someone to consult on what went right or wrong with your ad. Our ad levels below come with a partner program that gets you or your employee into a membership that lets them take our courses about marketing and advertising. This allows us to make content pieces, video and audio ads, website ads, and other content that would accompany your ad placement in various places. We also have private pages so you and your employee can talk amongst a group of fellow Progeny Partners who desire more awareness and conversion in their ad network. We include this partnership with each level of our ad buyers so check out the comparisons below!
