Is your winery or distillery taking advantage of email marketing this holiday season? If not, why not?

Email marketing is a cost-effective solution that gives any business the power to reach customers in a place most people visit every day – their IN box. There is plenty of data to back that up.

For example:
• 91 percent of US adults like to receive promotional emails from companies they do business with (MarketingSherpa, 2015)
• Email is almost 40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter combined in helping a business acquire new customers. (McKinsey, 2014)

Other reasons that should prompt you to implement an email marketing program, if you are not already doing so, include building credibility, and an added boost to your winery or distillery sales, and ultimately to ROI. Another reason to do email marketing is to have your winery or distillery strengthen relationships between yourself and the customers by educating, entertaining or notifying them of various events, offers, and insights.

Connect further by tracking loyalty and tenure and send them special emails of thanks with gifts to redeem in your tasting room or online offerings. Send birthday notes, anniversary greetings or anything you want that connects your business to your customers and fits your brand strategies.

Certainly, trial and error fit into your email marketing and is part of the mix to find what messages work best for your brand. Using metrics can help to improve your messages and offers for improved results each campaign you execute.

From a small business owner, following is a loosely paraphrased quote on the effectiveness of email marketing. “Email has definitely helped us with web traffic and attendance at our events. I like that after I send an email out, I can go back to “tracking” and see how many people clicked through on which links, and, on which devices they viewed the email from. That way I can tell people are interacting with our content and click throughs on our website.” A. Whitaker, Public Relations
