Digital transformation has dramatically changed customer experiences within wineries for the better!

We have all heard the saying customers are always right, right? And they are - it's simple economics, satisfied customers multiply and dissatisfied customers are costly to maintain. But today’s customers expect more than just being right, they expect highly personalised shopping experiences every time they shop with you no matter whether in person, at your cellar door, at an event or festival, online, or on the phone. So many wineries don't have the required infrastructure to provide a seamless experience across every touchpoint and in fact, many are not aware that this is even possible.

Have you benchmarked your website lately?

So you’ve nailed your customer communications!

Your customers have been to your winery and love your brand, or they have previously purchased your wine online and love your wine. You’ve managed to get them to your website, they’ve chosen their wines for purchase, added them to the shopping cart, filled out all checkout forms... and you lose the sale?WTF!(You know the term).

At present, there is a huge window of opportunity in the wine industry to secure long term relationships with new and existing customers. The International travel restrictions have assisted the visitation rates to all wine regions across Australia, but this won’t last forever and eventually, the borders will re-open and a wave of cabin fever travellers will seek overseas holidays.

In 2021 our focus has never been stronger, our commitment to growing our customer's DtC business is our number one priority.

Would you turn up to a meeting dressed in your shorts a tee shirt? As we all know, first impressions count and it is no different when people visit your website, it needs to not only present well but be well written, the content and pages need to flow and most importantly provide a simple purchasing process.

Wineries are continually coming up with new ideas to provide more personalised experiences that are very popular.

Around 20% of a winery's sales come from local people who live and work around your local area. These people support local businesses and may well interact with you on a more regular basis.

So what do you provide your locals that set them apart from your other customers?
