Since the development of the internet, the marketing of it has changed a great deal. The growth of on-line sales is possibly one of the biggest changes since the industry began.
Historically it was sold through High Street retailers, or at a distance using cheques and postal orders, with fame through newspaper advertising or word of mouth.
The internet has brought around an advertising and retailing revolution as far as it is concerned. Oddbins is possibly one of the best known high street brands, yet not the oldest running merchant.
Today all retailers need to have them, that allow visitors to browse the collections, read reviews, perhaps give feedback, and order products, which requires what is known as an e-commerce website.
Using agency that knows about PR for alcohol to work alongside the website can help with marketing and publicity.
With the growth of the internet there has been an explosion of websites around the world that offer both fine wines and budget ones.
Some of these would be:
Budget:
Fine:

Once it is up and running, consideration needs to be given on how to market it.
Some do use traditional advertising such as leaflets, TV or radio. But more popular would be PPC advertising on the internet.
This is a particular favourite for new providers, as they can acquire sales leads and customers instantly, because they are paying Google to be on page 1 for all internet searches for “wine merchants”.
Have you considered paring with a social media influencer? Since COVID, many people have started a full time career as a social media influencer, so paring with one linked to wine may be advantageous.
We do advise to shop around and compare web design prices, as all agencies are independent, all set their own fees. As such, prices for the same site can vary from hundreds to thousands, depending on the size of the site and the designer you select.
