Your website is your most important marketing asset. It is your first point of contact with many of your customers, and chances are that it is need of an update.

Social Media Marketing is a key activity for you to engage with customers and prospects. The thing is, most of you are doing it wrong. You may view social as another advertising platform, or a place to promote sales. Most of us don’t like being sold to 24/7. In addition, the content you generate may be too generic and not on brand message. We see this a lot. Engagement is the answer. Creating interesting, engaging content is the path to success. Truly engaged fans become the influencers you need to spread the word about your brand and drive traffic both online and on-site.

While Social Media Marketing and Community Management share some overlap, but each has a distinct intention. Community Management is the process of creating a community in an effort to make the community stronger. This usually means attracting new people to a community, reaching out to older or inactive community participants to bring them back into the fold, or giving more opportunities for current community participants to engage with one another. Community Management is about customer retention, customer attraction, and increasing brand reputation.

How effective are your emails? Despite the rise of social media and unsolicited spam (which is never a good marketing strategy, by the way), email remains the most effective way to nurture leads and turn them into customers. Their conversion rate and ROI are high. The problem is that this can be very time consuming, and most companies aren’t able to track their effectiveness. We can. Not only that, through a set of digital tools, we can set up email workflows to better automate the process and make you more efficient.

Have you built a website, only to see it languish in obscurity with no traffic to speak of? Many companies treat their websites as cruise missiles… fire and forget it. As mentioned above, you need an engaging website and you need people to read it. How will customers find it? Most websites are found through search engines (like Google), but there is a trick to making sure that you rank well. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a process of getting more organic traffic to your site through search. It’s an ongoing process, and we can help.

So, let’s say that you wish to accelerate your website traffic and sales beyond what you receive through SEO efforts.

Wine and spirits marketing still relies on key gatekeepers to drive consumer demand, but the landscape has shifted. It’s no longer controlled by a handful of tastemakers.

We know who has real influence and have well-established relationships.

Are you ready for a challenge to your company’s reputation? What’s your plan if something goes wrong? Most of you don’t think about a crisis until it’s upon you.

In any media interaction, the media are both your competitor and the referee. They are your competitor in that you HAVE to respond to their questions. They are the referee in that THEY get to decide what to do with your answers. In preparing for interaction with media, we work with clients to develop talking points to lead discussions and review the “dos and don’ts” of developing good rapport with media.

While the details of event logistics are often small, they can have a big impact on the success of your event. When event logistics go wrong, the only thing a guest remembers is the one negative moment they had – even if it was something minor. You need a partner you can trust – one who’s done it hundreds of times and know what to look out for.

Whether for a website, social media page, smartphone app, or the dozens of other applications, good digital design separates the pros from the amateurs.

We’ve put a process in place to track the ROI of digital advertising, and ways to make adjustments on the fly.

We live in an age of moving pictures. YouTube is the second most visited website behind Google (who also owns YouTube). High quality, informative, entertaining, and compelling video content has a much greater reach with today’s consumers than the written word. While it may not replace good written content, it can be a great marketing asset. We work with several video production companies to help bring these projects to life.
