Once, visitors came to your winery to get the fill experience of your wines.   Now, they visit your winery digitally and what they experience when they visit your website will influence what they purchase.

If you truly want to achieve online success, you need to think of your website as a business NOT an online brochure. If results are what really matters, can prospects visiting your website take an action that starts a conversion process?

Your website should be the hub of all your marketing activity- meaning that this is where you want the revenue-producing engagement to happen.

Wineries are starting to recognize that direct-to-consumer is the best way to retail. Profitable, recurring e-commerce isn’t simply a website or an e-commerce cart.  It’s a whole new line of business.

Choosing an E-Commerce Solution

Choosing an inexpensive e-commerce solution means less functionality such as fewer payment gateways, limited pricing, discount and promotional features and less product catalogue functionality. Not to mention the quality of the user experience.  In addition, sites that aren’t optimized for mobile and tablet devices will not be able to compete with those who are.

Finding a flexible winery e-commerce solution can be a daunting task.  You want a system that is flexible and gives you room to grow and change. Wineries need an e-commerce system to manage release periods, e-commerce and offline orders, allocations, and wine club shipments — all while preserving the sophistication of the winery’s message.
