Day 1
Thank-you and photo
Mahalo from the Kahuku Farms ʻohana
"Thanks for spending the afternoon on the farm with us. Here's the photo from your wagon ride, plus the recipe for the banana bread, in case you want to bring a little of the farm home. Live fresh, love local, be aloha."

Week 1
Review and friend-seed
One question, then we'll leave you alone
"How was the tour? If it found its way into your happy place, a quick line on Google means the world to a 4th-generation family farm. And if anyone you know is heading to the North Shore, send them our way."
→ Leave a quick review
Month 3
Different product, café return
You came for the tour, come back for the banana bread
"You don't need a tour ticket to walk into the café. The Grilled Banana Bread, the Liliko‘i Butter Mochi, the Hawaiian Açaí Bowl, all walk-in, no reservation. Or stay later, Fireside at the Farm runs after-hours under the stars."
→ See the café menu
Season 2
Shoulder-season comeback
The fields look different right now
"Shoulder season on the North Shore (Sept to Nov, Apr to May) is the farm's quiet stretch. Different fruit on the trees, smaller groups in the wagon, the same ʻohana welcome. Kamaʻāina Plus rate honored on your return."
→ Book a shoulder-season visit
Three reactivation email starters
Different season
The mango trees are dropping again
Things look different on 140 acres in May. The mangoes are coming in, the apple bananas are heavy, and the wagon goes a little slower because we keep stopping to taste. If it's been a year since you visited, it's a different farm right now.
→ Book the wagon tour at the Kamaʻāina Plus rate
Different product cross-sell, café return
You came for the tour, come back for the banana bread
Most of the people who do the tour tell us afterward they wish they'd stayed for lunch. You don't need to do the tour again to walk into the café. Grilled Banana Bread, Açaí Bowl, Liliko‘i Butter Mochi, all walk-in, all farm-to-table.

Referral nudge
Know someone heading to the North Shore?
If a friend is planning a Hawaiʻi trip and you'd send them to the farm, here's a Kahuku Farms gift card they can use at the café, the shop, or the tour. It's the easiest way to put a little of the ʻohana into their trip before they land.

Three referral mechanics to ship
Gift card SKU on the Shopify store
A digital gift card lives next to the macadamia chocolate and the apple-banana bread mix. Existing guests buy one for a friend headed to Oʻahu, redeemable across tour, café, and shop. Lowest-friction referral and the stack already supports it.

Photo-share post-tour SMS with friend code
After the wagon ride, send guests their photo by SMS along with a "share with someone planning a Hawaiʻi trip" line and a one-time friend code (10% off tour 1, free lunch tote). Catches them at peak enthusiasm, doubles as social proof.
EffortLowRevenueMid
Kamaʻāina-Plus extension, +1 friend at rate
Returning kamaʻāina who book a second tour bring one friend on at the Kamaʻāina Plus rate, no Hawaiʻi ID required for the +1. Compounds the kamaʻāina program already running, turns local repeat into local-plus-mainland-friend mix.

Three repeat-visit ideas you can ship next week
Send the wagon-ride photo by email the same day, you already have the camera, you already have the email, the send is the only missing step.
Low effort
Restart the GBP weekly post (Monday, this week's harvest, café special, or Fireside dates), free distribution and the most-skipped repeat hook for tour operators.
Low effort
One quarterly newsletter (4 a year), what's in season, what's new at the café, Fireside dates, kamaʻāina events. Mailchimp, the list already exists from the 10%-off signup.
