Welcome to Episode 836, E-commerce in the U.S. market: new "post-COVID" tools, with Steven Raye and Beniamino Garofalo. Wine2Wine Business Forum 2021 Series. The sessions are recorded and uploaded on Italian Wine Podcast. wine2wine is an international wine business forum, held annually in Verona Italy since 2014. The event is a key reference point for wine producers and a diverse variety of wine professionals eager to develop and grow their wine business worldwide. About today’s session: Covid has had a significant impact on the U.S. market, particularly in terms of the expansion of wine e-commerce apps, sites and tools. Sales to consumers can now take place, on-premise (HoReCa), off-premise (retail) and “e-premise.” Producers need to understand the structures of the various tools and platforms supporting e-commerce as it is now being conducted in the U.S. And further, you’ll learn about ways to use these new tools to get past the roadblocks and complications that commonly occur going through a traditional agency-brand importer model. One of the fundamental factors in understanding the E-comm wine universe in the U.S. is “who owns the relationship data?” In the case of third-party facilitators such as Drizly, they do. In the case of services such as CityHive and similar retailer direct-to-consumer solutions, it’s the retail store. We’ll discuss why this matters and how the difference can be leveraged to drive sales of your brand. We’ll also parse out distinctions that differentiate the component tools and strategies of E-commerce. More about the Speaker Steve Raye is author of the new book “How to Get U.S. Market Ready” which he wrote in collaboration with Stevie Kim and her Wine2Digital team. The book is effectively a toolkit to help Italian wine companies make strategically sound and data-driven decisions and plans for U.S. market entry. He is also the host of a series on the Italian Wine Podcast Channel titled “How to Get U.S. Market-Ready with Steve Raye” featuring 10 minute sessions on key content from the book.
