If your customers don’t know who you are and what you’re all about, it doesn’t matter how good your wine is. The biggest mistake we see wineries make is not having a consistent marketing plan. Truly!

Communicating with your biggest fans is really important. They’re the ones who’ll stay loyal and spread the word about your wine. The communication channel will change based on who you’re targeting and the type of winery you own. But regardless of the specifics, you’ve got to talk to your customers. If you don’t know how your customers like to receive info, ask!

Think of marketing as a way to communicate with your customers how they like to be reached and giving them information they want to know.
