Here’s a sneak peek from our 2023 South Africa Industry Report, based on data gathered by our tool, tastric. 🔗📑 During 2023, South African wineries recorded a high number of visitor profiles, with the high and low seasons showing a clear distinction. Yet, even during low season, the number of visitor profiles collected remained notably high, marking a distinct shift from the patterns observed in 2022. This emphasises the importance for wineries, tasting room managers and sales representatives to maintain consistent sales strategies throughout the year. 🤝🏻 During quieter phases, sales representatives are encouraged to focus on customer engagement and relationship-building, capitalising on the increased time available in the tasting room to build relationships and educate visitors about the winery’s offerings. This is an opportune time to highlight the unique qualities of each wine. 🗣️ Conversely, in busier periods, adopting ‘easy but effective’ up-selling techniques, such as exclusive bundle offers or promotions, can incentivise customers to increase their total spend💳 “Implementing smart sales strategies not only enhances the customer experience but also fuels increased sales and cultivates customer loyalty.” - Moritz Schreiner, Co-Founder of tastric Stay tuned for the full report! 📊 Maximilian Schiefer Moritz Schreiner Elizabeth Nel Shoana Jeffrey #datacollection #tastric #winedata #southafrica #wosa #southafricanwine

This is a great summary by Mark - someone who understands BC wine licensing and the implications of a grape shortage on BC wineries very well. Also a very informative interview on the radio this morning. To add my thoughts, while government agriculture risk management programs like Production Insurance and AgriStability can provide welcome assistance, getting compensation for the value of the grapes is of limited utility if replacement grapes can't be sourced or are cost prohibitive. Wineries make their profits from making wine from their grapes, not from the grapes themselves. No grapes means big losses for wineries, even if the government provides compensation for grape value.
Deep freeze creates awful problems for BC wineries. A few thoughts ... https://lnkd.in/gQf7Dtgr

A Recipe for Success from Traditional French Bakeries Traditional bread bakeries are the toast of France due to some astute strategic-planning and a unique twist on a phrase often used in the real estate industry: location, location, location. In a bite-sized article in Harvard Business Review, the authors describe the surprising results of a detailed (but presumably well-fed) analysis of the strategic locations of bakeries in Lyon, France. In the French boulangerie market, traditionalist and modernist bakers, who would typically never break bread together, often operate in very close proximity to one another. In PriSim’s classes, we often discuss the classic Marketing Mix model composed of the 4 Ps (Price, Product, Place, and Promotion). The Lyon boulangerie market is an example of just how important Place can be. In giving customers their daily bread, traditionalists have found they cannot live on bread alone without a strategic location to go along with it – grist for the mill if you’re “one of the many companies competing on the basis of traditions or values.” Let’s hope that the dough from French bakeries’ sales continues to rise… Read more: https://lnkd.in/ghUgjkQp #businesssimulations #businessacumen #strategy #location

Meet Tony Vernon, Cordata Grocery Manager and Staff Board Director! His Co-op experience: Tony has been a Co-op member for 25 years and has worked at the Community Food Co-op for three. He has always believed in the Co-op's values and products, and decided to pursue that in his career as well. He also noted that people will always need food, making grocery a stable industry. The values of the Co-op were the biggest reason for his career switch, though. "Those values are community, sustainability, and high-quality products. Both the community of our stores and the community that we serve." With a love for our products as well as our values, Tony is currently serving as the Staff Board Director. "It’s been helpful to learn the parliamentary procedures and I am deeply invested in the Co-op’s success," he said. "I can contribute more with the more information I have. The more I understand, the more I can ask meaningful questions and push us in new directions." Tony has a sweet spot for our wine department. Prior to working at the Co-op he spent 16 years in wine, beer, and spirits retail, wholesale, and production. His wine recommendations: We currently have both still and sparkling Elbling wines, made from a German white grape. Tony says either variety is great! Additionally, it's almost rosé season! Keep an eye out for a wide variety of rosés. #FoodCoop #SupportLocal #Wine #EmployeeRecognition

So...I write quite a bit about the power of #local and the opportunities it creates for brands and retailers. Last weekend, thanks to a 6th grade travel basketball tournament, we made a trip across the border to Wisconsin. My 15-year old daughter shared the following Instagram post on the family text chain this morning with us and had both my husband and I laughing so hard that there were tears. Then, it randomly occurred to me how perfectly this truly captures how strong local brands can drive consumer behavior. New Glarus beer is only sold in Wisconsin. There are 100s of brewers in the Chicagoland area, and yet when we cross the border, the mission to find New Glarus beer and bring it home is a requirement of any trip. It drives trips to local grocers near the state border. Ironically, my intentionally keeping distribution local, New Glarus has actually created a fascinating bulk-purchase demand that benefits their brand but also local retailers. While the approach doesn't work for everyone, it clearly works for them. PS - We did a beer run for ourselves and multiple neighbors after the tournament, going out of our way to go to the Woodman's Food Markets in Pleasant Prairie before heading home because we found over the years of random trips to the area that they have the best selection and prices. Cheese curds were also purchased... Anyone else made a special trip to a retailer in a different state JUST for a local brand? Are the Sheehans the only ones that do New Glarus beer runs? #Illinois #craftbeer #beer #Wisconsin #NewGlarus #wisconsinbeer #shoplocal #grocery #groceryretail #localbrands #cheese #independentretailers #localgrocers #Wisconsinbrands #WisconsinRetail https://lnkd.in/gczpHU9p

I'm interested in learning about any licensing or reporting challenges you've faced in the first half of 2024, especially given the diversity the same process can take between different businesses.
