Sonoma County Vintners/P.S.D./Wine Buzz Marketing |
|
Total
Teamwork
Over
the past few years Wine Buzz Marketing has become the "go-to" sales company to
market and move excess inventory including bulk, shiners and case goods. It is our first priority to move inventory
according to the winery’s parameters often “under the radar” so as not to
denigrate your brand or compete with current distribution. Wine Buzz Marketing has strong relationships
with retailers, wine clubs, airlines, alternative markets and liquidation
channels. In some cases sales will
include national advertising to an excellent demographic potentially bringing
new customers to the winery.
The
following services are now available to Coop patrons and its P.S.D. partners in Napa, the Pacific Northwest and Santa Barbara County.
- Timely response
to all buy/sell inquiries
- Free
consultation as to market pricing and available avenues
- Opportunities to
open new markets
- Affiliate
relationships allowing for flexibility and a range of options
- The experience
of a National Sales Manager on a fee only basis.....winery pays only on cases SOLD!
- Buyers NEVER pay a fee!
We
are also currently working with a
group to open wine bars in Asia serving only CA wines which may significantly increase
opportunities to Coop members and it’s great Affiliates on the West Coast.
